[amsat-bb] Re: Chibis-M?
Hi, I still receive Chibis-M (RS-39) on 435.315 in the late evenings. However, it isn't downlinking in morse code anymore. It sounds like it is downlinking data in a BPSK format, which I've not tried decoding. Another point to note is that it doesn't start downlinking until a long time into its pass. Presumably it is saving its battery power until its footprint is over Russia. Downlinking is also not continuous. One thing to be careful about is not to mistakenly receive Yubileiny (RS-30) which is also using the same morse code telemetry format on 435.315, and can sometimes be above the horizon at the same time as Chibis-M. 73's, Simon, G7WIQ - Original Message - From: normn3...@stny.rr.com To: Amsat amsat-bb@amsat.org; John Heath g7...@btinternet.com Sent: Sunday, February 05, 2012 3:17 PM Subject: [amsat-bb] Re: Chibis-M?

[amsat-bb] Re: CHIBIS-M satellite to launch to ISS
The payload is a scientific satellite to be deployed from the ISS/MKC to study the magnetic field in the auroral zone. Interesting: This experiment provides a comprehensive study of physical processes in atmospheric lightning discharges. Delivery of the microsatellite in its working orbit at an altitude of 500 km will be done with a THC Progress M-13M after the completion of the flight of the truck in the station. According to the developers of the term of active existence of the spacecraft, Chibis-M will be at least one year. It looks like they plan on raising the Progress after undocking, then deploying the satellite. This sounds like a new capability for Progress, and similar to what I've seen discussed for Dragon by SPaceX. 73, Drew KO4MA ___ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
