Ok, I'll bite. Is there a standard design? Is any group currently working on a design that could be mass produced? What would the per article cost be for the sat itself, testing, etc broken down by line item. On 1/7/2012 4:22 AM, Gordon JC Pearce wrote: On Fri, 6 Jan 2012 23:07:47 + (UTC)

Or why not just turn the voice transponder on one of the two radio's that are on the ISS? Hmmm... Or why not just install whatever type of setup that would make everyone happy ON THE ISS? Why waste all that money developing/building all these sats and then waste all that money on a launch

These potential ARRisats don't even have to be as sophisticated as the last.  A simple 16-20khz linear transponder (from http://www.qsl.net/pe1rah/ ) or a simple single channel FM bird.  One or two of these every six months or so would keep us happy campers!  Maybe even one with L/S mode.

Hi Joe, For RS-10/11, I'd recommend just using RS-10. I don't recall ever hearing the 11 side of that bird on during the several years that I worked it. They did a lot of switching around of RS-12 and 13, especially towards the end of its life, so that one will be harder to select. Greg

The trip down to EL97 was uneventful. The location chosen was on US1 in Sebastian Florida, Indian River County. 21 stations were worked on the AO-27 1825z pass and 6 more were worked on the low elevation western pass at 2005z. It was sunny with temps in the low 70's, a very nice day for a grid

A suggestion for the AMSAT.ORG web site pass prediction page. Please add some of the newer cubesats. It would be helpful if the sats that are listed as active on the status page were also reflected on the passes page. Additional interesting note. ARISSAT-1 (Radioscaf-B) still shows on the
