Visit by Ib Christoffersen OZ1MY (AMSAT-OZ) and the swedish astronaut Christer Fuglesang.

Nu har det kommit ut en ny 2,4ghz downkonverter dr man kan vlja IF mellan 144mhz eller 434mhz. Den br vara bra att ha om man bara har en rigg och vill kra AO-51 i dom olika moderna. Det hr kommer ven att vara praktiskt p kommande satelliter d det verkar ha blivit populrt att vxla mellan olika mode.

Fljande info gller angende distributionen av keplerdata:

AMSAT continues to work with Space Command concerning our ability to forward Keplerian Elements via our email service as well as provide pass predictions on the web site. The following information is from Ray Hoad, who provides the service for us, detailing the situation.

Air Force Space Command is currently considering how to administer the new web site as well as process requests for data redistribution. No time line for a decision has been determined as yet. For the time being, the best course of action is to maintain an on-going dialog with Space Command to help them understand our needs as well as how allowing redistribution can benefit them.
