Satellite Shorts From All Over [AMSAT]
June 30, 2008 by kb3ljm.
- Paul, 2E1EUB plans to be active on satellites from grid IO87rj near Aberdeen, Scotland starting June 28 for 7 days. He will be using the callsign 2M1EUB/P. There may be some low elevation opportunities to work North America via AO-7. The QRZ.com web page 2M1EUB provides QSL information.
- The NanoSail-D satellite mentioned in prior ANS reports was featured this week in a NASA web release: “This summer, NASA engineers will try to realize a dream older than the Space Age itself: the deployment of a working solar sail in Earth orbit. It is scheduled for launch on-board a SpaceX Falcon 1 rocket as early as July 29, 2008″. See:
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/26jun_nanosaild.htm?list958901 - The EE Times ran an article about Suitsat and SuitSat-2. The SDR transponder aboard SuitSat-2 is based on the High Performance Software Defined Radio “Odyssey” system. For the article see: http://www.eetimes.com/showArticle.jhtml;?articleID=208403999 (Via Graham, KE9H on the HPSDR Discussion List at http://hpsdr.org)
