Operational linear transponder satellites have dwindled to only two: VO-52
and AO-7. The latter, now 37 years old, spends approximately half its
operating time on the V/A transponder, or what we used to call Mode A:
145.85-145.95 MHz uplink, 29.4-29.5 MHz downlink.

Hi Ronny,
the motors for this kind of telescope drive are mostly synchronous
motors for AZ and DC motors for EL. The synchronous motor runs at a
fixed frequency to compensate earth's rotation. This is all not
compatible with antenna rotor control interfaces.

Almasat would have been a GREAT satellite to have had a secondary amateur
two-way capability on; big, lots of power, and a great orbit. A few CTCSS
decoders and maybe one or two extra command lines, and there could have been
V/U or V/S voice capability, in a 1500km apogee orbit.

Hi Andreas,
very simple, politics.
ITAR is killing AMSAT-NA and AMSAT-DL's leadership has openly
denouced Cubesats. So two of the biggest AMSATs either can't or don't
want to. Talk about a pathetic situation for our community.

Hi Bob.

Sadly not successful as we were not seen as an educational organisation.

has no problems launching the cubesats
