AMSAT News Service Bulletin 075.01 From AMSAT HQ
Silver Spring, MD. March 16, 2003
To All Radio Amateurs
BID: $ANS-075.01
AO-40 nominal ALON/ALAT is now 20 / 0. LON/ALAT will be slowly moved to 30/0 in the next week.
Given the worsening squints as we move ALON/ALAT, we have terminated the -Tx sessions until early summer when conditions improve.
Because of the poor squint angles early in the orbit the passband window ow starts at MA =80. It still ends at MA = 230 to allow time for battery harging before perigee eclipse.
The complete schedule is shown in the table below:
The command team also reminds all Users to maintain a clear area 25 kHz above and below the Middle Beacon.
S-band -> K Tx test conducted on Saturday, 15 March 2003, was a success. Report to follow from participants.
CORRECTION:
Several weeks ago, during the testing of the S1 receiver, It was indicated that the S2 receiver was connected to the 5-turn helix. This is not correct. Both S-band receivers are connected to the dish antenna. Only the S2 transmitter is connected to the 5-turn helix.

AO27
Here s the latest update:
March 15th, 2003 UTC
software has been uploaded successfully to AO-27. The new commands are working great and ON-ORBIT checkout is continuing.
During the upcomming week control operators will be checking out the new scheduler and fine tuning the scheduler parameters.
We will be turning on the Analogue Repeater for time to time during this checkout period when we don t need to collect telmetry. If all continues to go well, we will be able to turn AO-27 back toNormal, self scheduled operations in a few weeks.
Thanks goes out to N1UC and W4XP for their tremendous effort in getting this new software up to the bird.

S/K-bandstester, nytt schema
Nyheter frn AMSAT-DL i Tyskland:
We are tentatively scheduling a second test of the S-Rx uplink to K-Tx downlink, tomorrow, 3/14, from MA 192 to 200. During this time, the S2 Tx will be OFF and downlink will be on K-band only, using S1 or S2 Rx uplink. Given the worsening squint, this will likely be the last test of this link until conditions improve in the early summer.
Please report your results to the amsat-bb.
