*February 14 PSLV-C20 Launch Planned by India

India’s “The Hindu” newspaper reports that the Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO) has slated its first launch of the year PSLV-CA
(PSLV-C20) for February 14. This launch includes the SARAL ocean
study spacecraft and satellites carrying amateur radio payloads.

The payload includes:

+ SARAL – Ka-band radar altimeter operating at 35.75 GHz.
See: http://smsc.cnes.fr/SARAL/

+ NEOSSat Search for near-Earth asteroids and space debris.

+ Sapphire ? Canadian Department of National Defence first
dedicated military satellite.

+ CanX-3a, BRITE (BRIght-star Target Explorer) ? small satellite
designed to make photometric observations of bright stars in
order to study their variability.

+ TUGSat-1 – S-Band for telemetry downlinks and will have a 145 MHz
CW beacon.

+ AAUSat 3 ? 1U cubesat developed and constructed by students from
Department of Electronic Systems at Aalborg University Denmark,
testbed for a pair of AIS receivers. The IARU Amateur Radio coor-
dinated frequency is 437.425 MHz using Viterbi and Reed Solomon
encoding.

+ Max Valier ? Small satellite to encourage student experimentation.
IARU Amateur Radio coordinated frequencies are 145.860 MHz and
145.960 MHz.

Gick bra med nätet idag.

Det har ramlat in en hel del intressanta punkter.

*Installationsanvisning Fun-cube dongle och MAP65

*Astra 2F
Inte amatörradio men väldigt intressant att ta emot en satellitsignal som
inte är ämnad att täcka det aktuella området. Man lär sig hur svårt det kan
vara på mikrovågor.

Open Source Satellite OSSI CubeSat Launch in April 2013

OSSI-1, the Open Source Satellite Initiative satellite, developed by
Hojun Song DS1SBO, is planned to launch in the 2nd quarter of 2013
into a 575 km 63° inclination orbit on a Soyuz-2-1b rocket from the
Baikonur launch facility in Kazakhstan. The 1U cubesat is 100% based
on COTS components. The main payload, the Bion-M1 satellite, antici-
pates a planned launch date of April, 2013.

Reports say OSSI-1 will have a beacon in the 145 MHz band, a data
communications transceiver in the 435 MHz band although actual opera-
ting frequencies have yet to be published. The data communications
transceiver is reported to be using an open protocol, details have
not been released yet.

OSSI-1 also carries a 44 watt LED optical beacon to flash Morse Code
messages to observers on Earth.

The development of the satellite has been documented on the Open
Source Satellite Initiative Blog http://opensat.cc/blog/ and the
Wiki http://opensat.cc/wiki/

Other cubesats on this launch will include:

+ SOMP – downlink on 437.485 MHz including CW, 1k2 and 9k6 BPSK,
AX25 FSK, and AO40 standard 400bit/s BPSK.

+ BEESAT 2 – 4k8 GMSK on 435.950 MHz

+ BEESAT 3 – 4k8 GMSK on 435.950 MHz

+ Dove-2 – Commercial technology demonstration mission.

+ Bion-M1 – Research satellite collaboration between NASA and the
Russian Institute of Biomedical Problems. The mission
will launch an unmanned automated spacecraft carrying
a biological payload into Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The
rodents on the Bion-M1 spacecraft will be exposed to
spaceflight conditions for approximately one month.
