CUBEB-2

Keps are old to track any new satellite !!!
Pointing the antenna to the max elevation of the satellites chain was a good solution to prevent more wear and tear to the rotator and receiving more new satellites.
Today I got more signal :) I got many strong packet frames which I was unable to decode it yet ,and a long toooot signal ,another strange one !! I was able to copy CubeBug-2 satellite. more than 7 frames was decoded.

Receiving AO-73 telemetry via Analog Rig !!

Funcube Dongle  works very well with Dashboard  Telemetry Decoder .
During last pass I gave IC910 a chance to say hello to AO-73.
Connecting the Rig audio output to PC soundcard input.
Selecting soundcard as the  input device at FC Dashbord decoder.
Clicked - capture from soundcard option. I received 136 frames .
Tuning was so easy with software auto tune option.
Sometime the manual tuning  gave high rate than auto tune!
Upload was ok too to warehouse.
Here is a simple image of the setup:

FUNcube-1 (AO-73) Transponder Tested.

Howard Long G6LVB working AO-73 while Ciaran Morgan M0XTD captures
 the downlink passband data using a FUNcube Dongle Pro+ and Microsoft Surface Tablet.

The first test of the FUNcube-1 (AO-73) SSB/CW linear transponder took place today. The transponder was successfully commanded on at 10:49 UT and functioned perfectly during the pass.
 A test of operation using portable stations was made from the Bletchley Park car park. Howard G6LVB and Trevor M5AKA, operating stations GB3RS and G0AUK, worked each other at 10:53 UT. Both stations ran 5 watts PEP to Arrow antennas and signal reports of 55 were exchanged.

The transponder was commanded off towards the end of the pass.

Testing and analysis of the telemetry data from FUNcube-1 (AO-73) is continuing.

Thank you to all stations who have provided telemetry so far. More telemetry data is needed to enable the FUNcube team to characterise the satellite.

We would encourage more stations to download the Dashboard software to receive the telemetry and upload it to the Data Warehouse.

Great reward to the Great work

The Dnepr carrying FUNcube-1 and 18 other satellites carrying amateur radio payloads successfully launched at 07:10:11 UT Thursday, November 21.
Big Congratulation to all team members -

Every thing works fine from 1st pass : The Funcube-1 satellite  - the funcube dongle - the decoder - internet upload - warehouse ....etc etc

Lot of coffee and aspirin tabs... beside me
but so much fun and challenges

Many satellites were decoded,PicoDragon, ArduSat , KySat and Vermont sat.
Congratulation for all teams ........
Good luck for all. ............

PicoDragon CW beacon heard

 very strong signal . Other signal on water fall !!but the PICODragon signal
 was the strongest!!
Congratulation PicoDragon team members .

Fun - keep it simple and smart

1st Pass !!!

According to per-launch keps, Funcube-1 first pass of 10 degree elevation will cover my QTH.
Unfortunately a tall building obstruct the east horizon up to 30 degree , I will try to track and listen to this pass from UofK ground station. Good luck to all .

FUNcube-1 Dashboard ready for action !!!

FUNcube Dashboard was tested with audio files and Funcube dongle pro+
it was so easy and very interesting comp nation of  SDR+DECODER in single package!!
The software setup was described very well at the manual .
Yes you need to read all the 32 pages please.
Now its ready and waiting for action .
FUNcube Dashboard is a great software .the  programming  effort was so obvious.
 it need  more fine touches  eg push button to capture the audio.or stop and play et

One repeated problem was noticed . ie the software crushed every time the help icon clicked!! .
I;ve used the new version .

Another nice software was tested ,the KySat-2 decoder from Space Systems Lab,
 University of Kentucky, ie decode packets from KySat-2 .
 KySat-2 need a hardware TNC - tested here with Kantronics 9612 plus.
I thing it may works too via some other sofware-tnc and virtual audio/data loops.

PocketQubes: Even Smaller Than a CubeSat

PocketQubes: Even Smaller Than a CubeSat

Over one hundred CubeSats have been launched by hundreds of organizations and universities from around the globe. These have proven very useful in technology demonstration, Earth imaging, and other applications. There is, however, one large downside to the CubeSat platform. Even though it is designed to hitch a ride on launches of larger satellites, they’re still very expensive to develop and launch – somewhere between $60,000 and $125,000.
PocketQubes are a new design of satellite that bring the cost of personal satellites down to what Universities and amateur radio enthusiasts can actually afford. Instead of spending $125k on a 10cm cube CubeSat, the PocketQube, a 5cm cube, can be launched to a 700 km orbit for about $20,000.
Already, four PocketQubes are scheduled for launch in November to a 700km solar synchronous orbit,

• Eagle1 (USA)
• Eagle2 (USA)
• WREN (Germany)
• QBScout (USA)

 The WREN a very impressive PocketQube with 3-axis reaction wheels and plasma thrusters.

Four PocketQubes including WREN will be launched aboard a Dnepr 1A multi-satellite rocket launch on 21st November from the Yasniy-Dombarovskiy launch site in Russia.  The three other PocketQube spacecraft being launched are two US student satellites, Eagle-1 (Beakersat-1) and QubeScout-S, built by Morehead State University and University of Maryland respectively,  and the Eagle-2 (50-Dollarsat) built by ham radio enthusiasts. - See more at: http://www.flightglobal.com/blogs/hyperbola/2013/10/cubesats-are-so-last-year-now-smaller-pocketqubes-could-be-next-big-thing/#sthash.FhuIrrg6.dpuf

UNISAT-5 and its payloads

UNISAT-5 and its payloads The upcoming launch of UNISAT-5 satellite, boarded on the Dnepr rocket and scheduled on November 21 from Yasny cosmodrome in Russia, will mark an historical event in the world of CubeSats and nanosatellites.
GAUSS srl will release into orbit:

 four CubeSats:

• PUCP-Sat-1 (Perù)
• ICUBE-1 (Pakistan)
• HUMSAT-D (Spain)
• Dove-4 (USA)

and four PocketQubes:

• Eagle1 (USA)
• Eagle2 (USA)
• WREN (Germany)
• QBScout (USA)

from the UNISAT-5 satellite, launched by the Dnepr rocket.

 

The following facts reveal the significance of this event:

• First launch of Cubesats and PocketQubes from another nanosatellite
• First launch of PocketQubes ever
• First Peruvian satellites, PUCP-Sat-1 and PocketPUCP-Sat (that will be released from PUCP-Sat-1)
• First test of Pulsed Plasma Thruster on a picosatellite (WREN by Sta.do.Ko)

In the last week, the Cubesats and Pocketqubes were integrated on board the UNISAT-5, inside the PEPPOD (the GAUSS’ PPOD) and MRFOD (designed by Morehead State University, KY, USA, in collaboration with GAUSS Srl) deployers.

The full manifest of over 30 satellites- Dnepr Launch

Dnepr Launch 2013 November 21
The full manifest of over 30 satellites can be found here:
http://www.zarya.info/blog/?p=1745

A Russian Dnepr rocket is due to place 32 satellites into orbit using a variety of systems to separate them from the launch vehicle. Below are listed all the satellites that make up its complement of payloads. The accuracy of the list is not guaranteed so feedback on any errors will be appreciated.
The most intriguing is the satellite Pocket PUCP that, at launch, will be contained inside another satellite – PUCPSat 1. In turn, PUCPSat 1 will be carried inside the Unisat 5 satellite…. like a set of Russian Matryoshka dolls heading for space.
The payload manifest breaks down into a number of sub-classes. There are some individual satellites being flown as Primary and Secondary payloads and a number of small satellites coordinated as two packages.
