The sail was unfurle= d from a 1U CubeSat that was launched December 2 from the International Spa= ce Station. It is equipped with four tiny =E2=80=9CChipSat=E2=80=9D flight computers th= at are transmitting telemetry data back to Earth with only 100 milliwatts o= f power. Several dozen telemetry packets have already been received and decoded by s= tations in Europe and Asia. Additional =E2=80=9Cears=E2=80=9D are sought because drag created by the sa= il in low Earth orbit will limit its functional time to no more than 48 hou= rs. This is the first flight of these ChipSats, and it is this data that the st= udents seek help detecting, according to Ph.D. candidate Joshua Umansky-Cas= tro, KD2WTQ. The light sail=E2=80=99s ChipSats are transmitting using the L= oRa=C2=AE digital protocol on 437.400 MHz. Data is being collected on the TinyGS project webpage [ https://tinygs.com/= satellite/CornellLightSail ] , which is also posting updates on progress.

[http://www.hamsci.org/msqp-rules] The Ham Radio Science Citizen Investigation (HamSCI) is seeking operators a= nd monitors to participate in a series of upcoming meteor scatter (MS) expe= riments. Operations will take place on December 12 - 13, 2025, over a 48-ho= ur period =E2=80=94 during the Geminids meteor shower. This is a combination 'special event' and a contest to generate contact dat= a during meteor scatter events using 10 meters (28.145 MHz) and 6 meters (5= 0.260 MHz). Suggested operating procedures can be found at www.hamsci.org/m= sqp [ http://www.hamsci.org/msqp ] . No special station equipment is requir= ed but the experiment uses the MSK144 operating mode as part of the WSJTX s= uite. The functionality is much like using FT8 and is easy to use.

R= egion 4294 remains the largest region on the disk but is appearing to be si= mplifying magnetically. Region 4296, on the other hand, gained a delta region in its intermediary r= egion, though with no corresponding increase in flare activity as of yet. New flux emerged along the eastern side of Region 4298, resulting in severa= l C-flares throughout the reporting period. Region 4299 also developed a delta region in its primary spot but no apprec= iable shear was observed. Region 4301 developed, was numbered, but was otherwise unremarkable. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery. =C2=A0=20 Isolated-to-occasional M-class flares are expected (75%) through December 6= , with a chance for X-class flares (30%), given past flare history, and the= potential of current active regions on the disk.=20 =C2=A0=20 The solar wind environment is anticipated to remain more turbulent into the= early hours of December 4, due to the continued passage of an entangled CM= E.

R= egion 4294 remains the largest region on the disk but is appearing to be si= mplifying magnetically. Region 4296, on the other hand, gained a delta region in its intermediary r= egion, though with no corresponding increase in flare activity as of yet. New flux emerged along the eastern side of Region 4298, resulting in severa= l C-flares throughout the reporting period. Region 4299 also developed a delta region in its primary spot but no apprec= iable shear was observed. Region 4301 developed, was numbered, but was otherwise unremarkable. No Earth-directed CMEs were observed in available coronagraph imagery.</p> <p style=3D"color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Regular', Calibri, sans-s= erif; font-size: 8px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 12px; margin-bottom= : 0; margin-top: 0; text-align: left;"> &nbsp; </p> <p style=3D"color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Regular', Calibri, sans-s= erif; font-size: 17px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bot= tom: 0; margin-top: 0; text-align: left;"> Isolated-to-occasional M-class flares are expected (75%) through December 6= , with a chance for X-class flares (30%), given past flare history, and the= potential of current active regions on the disk. </p> <p style=3D"color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Regular', Calibri, sans-s= erif; font-size: 8px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 12px; margin-bottom= : 0; margin-top: 0; text-align: left;"> &nbsp; </p> <p style=3D"color: #000000; font-family: 'Calibri Regular', Calibri, sans-s= erif; font-size: 17px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 25.5px; margin-bot= tom: 0; margin-top: 0; text-align: left;"> The solar wind environment is anticipated to remain more turbulent into the= early hours of December 4, due to the continued passage of an entangled CM= E.
