Hello,
a question. Is there a schedule for the telemetry TLM beacon activity
available or are there any special days there the beacon is on? If so
there can I get this information?
regards
Peter

I'm reminded of that line from the movie Jerry Maguire: show me
the money. It would be nice if what was advertised is actually what
the company delivers, as it could
Spaceflight has released it's latest pricing for launching various
satellite sizes and orbit. Read it and weep. Pricing continues to rise.

You can easily find the times for equatorial crossing for ascending
passes from the element set.
Consider Oscar 7
Satellite: AO-07
Catalog number: 07530

The $295,000 for a 3U CubeSat to LEO (which presumably means a 600 km or lower
LEO) seems comparable with prices from others using proven launchers (typically
$100k for 1U).
It highlights the importance of partnering with others, such as Educational
establishments to defray costs.

The last time I saw this site, they did list prices for 1U and 2U
CubeSats. Wonder why they don't anymore.

Hi Paul,
Good question about the 1U and 2U.
I found the $650 mil for a 3U to GTO interesting. As Trevor says,
launch costs might not be out of reach if we can find some deep pocket
university partners. That would fall in line with the AMSAT strategy
of supporting the CMD/COMM side of a joint

Can some explain to me and others the big deal about cube sats?
I just dont get it.

The Wikipedia article on CubeSats
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CubeSat) has a very nice summary of why
they are the present and future of the small satellite industry:
The CubeSat specification accomplishes several high-level goals.

Glen, Paul and Joseph,
Thank you for your replies. I am learning a lot here. My imagination has been
captured by learning to use the Satellabe and OscarLocator prepping for my
presentation on tracking satellites at the AMSAT Training Day during the ARRL
Centennial. I also discovered a

True. That is a problem, though it's certainly a separate issue from
the design and construction of the satellite.
The best the amateur satellite community can do is cultivate
relationships with those who wish to use our frequencies and hopefully
receive some benefit. For example, several
I am trying to set up SatPC32 ver 12.8c unregistered with two FT-817s. My
problem is that there is no CAT control on radio 1. Radio 2 works
perfectly. Here is the setup:
Radio 1, com port 2, delay 70 (tried 110 also)
Radio 2, com port 5
Checked Atom. RX/TX change only (no other boxes checked but
Larry,
So you need to match the Baud Rate on the radio and in the software by:
1. Looking in Menu Item 14 of the FT-817 (hold down the F Key for
couple seconds to access, then rotate the left knob to change to item '14')
2. Matching the radio baud rate setting with the Baud Rate
Actually, using simple pass-times, it is possible to predict with a simple
pencil, all future pass times for several weeks.
Every satelite REPEATs their daily ground track every few days or so.
AO51 repeated every 5 days, and GO32 every 9. These were sun synchronous
and so not only the ground

Standardization! But the real payoff from standardization is REDUCED RISK
to the launch provider. Instead of having to micromanage every detail of
satellite design so that the launch provider can GURARANTEE

Innovation is often driven out of necessity. I see it everyday at work.
Develop a baseline system that works and then optimize it. You'd be amazed
what you could do with the small of a space to pack electronics into.

Absolutely! Micro-miniaturization!
But some things are difficult to miniaturize -- like a 144 MHz yagi.
