ARISS UK le 5 mai 2016 à OTLEY WEST YORKSHIRE

ARISS contact planned for Ashfield Primary School, Otley, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom

An International Space Station radio contact has been planned for Timothy Peake KG5BVI with participants at Ashfield Primary School, Otley, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The event is scheduled Thursday 5 May 2016 at approximately 08:08 UTC. The amateur radio contact will be a direct contact operated by GB1APS. The contact should be audible over Western Europe. Interested parties are invited to listen in on 145.800 MHz narrowband FM.

Presentation:

Ashfield Primary School is a smaller than average school situated in a small market town, north of Leeds. Whilst Otley is a relatively affluent area, a high proportion of our pupils come from the Weston Estate – an area of significant deprivation.
Almost all pupils are of White British heritage. Very few speak English as an additional language but this number is increasing. An above average proportion of pupils have special educational needs and/or disabilities and an above average number of pupils are eligible for pupil premium (40%).  Over recent years the school has sought to raise the aspirations of the pupils and their parents as a high proportion of the children come from 2nd/3rd generation NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) families.
We are a 1 form entry primary with 200 pupils.

Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:

1. Esme (Reception):  How can I come and see you?
2. Kitty (Year 4):  If you blow a bubble in space what shape will it be and will it last long?
3. Olivia (Year 5):  How do you communicate with people down below?
4. Amelie (Year 5):  Are your space clothes itchy or soft?
5. Libby (Year 5):  Although you are with other members up in the ISS do you ever get lonely?
6. Grace (Year 5):  What would happen to a balloon in the ISS that isn't attached to a string?
7. Zach (Year 6):  Does helium work the same in space?
8. Ethan (Year 6):  How tall are you now on the ISS?
9. Jack (Year 2):  Is there space candy?
10. Dalton (Reception):  How do you get home from the space station?
11. Ethan (Year 2):  What are washing machines like in space and how do you clean your clothes?
12. Ruth (Year 2):  What does the Earth look like at night from the ISS?
13. Millie (Year 2):  What does space smell like?
14. Maizy (Year 5):  How often do you look out of the window to see planet earth?
15. Olivia (Year 5):  What is the best thing about the countdown and why?
16. Caitlin (Reception):  How do you stop your food from floating?
17. Olivia (Year 5):  What is the best thing about being in zero gravity?
18. Chloe (Year 2):  What is it like in space at night time?
19. Mackenzie (Year 3):  How many miles up are you and why?
20. Olivia (Year 5):  What happens to your organs in space?

ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the volunteer support and leadership from AMSAT and IARU societies around the world with the ISS space agencies partners: NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA.

ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board the International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters' interest in science, technology, and learning.

ANNONCE BALLON UK le samedi 30 avril 2016 BRISTOL

Another pico launch from Bristol this Saturday 30th. The launch will be at 0900 ISH.
As before the payload is transmitting on 434.600 MHz USB, with an output power of about +6dBm. Each transmission of Contestia 16/1000 will be preceded by 10 seconds of pips and RSID.

This payload uses solar panels to generate power. Hopefully the transmission rate will be once per minute during the day, and once every two minutes at night (if the payload operates at night). It's also capable of transmitting APRS packets, but will only do so outside countries where the amateur license is not permitted airborne (like the UK).

It will probably head south quite quickly after launch, so trackers on the south coast are particularly appreciated. More details will appear on the website http://www.bristol-seds.co.uk/flights.html

Many Thanks,

ANNONCE BALLON ESTONIA le 27 avril 2016

On Wednesday, 27th of April 2016, students of Kanepi Gümnaasium in cooperation with Physics Institute of Tartu University are launching a high-altitude balloon.

Start is planned at 14:00 local time (11.00 UTC) and launch site is at Kanepi Gymnasium (address Kooli 1, Kanepi, latitude 57.986821 N, longitude 26.760103 E, WWL KO37JX16IV.

Preliminary weather forecast (evening of 25.04) predicts that the flight is heading north, flying over towns Tartu and Jõgeva, and payload is expected to land north of Jõgeva. How it really turns out - that will be seen in Wednesday!

Balloon name: IP2
Flight name: Ilmapall-2 Flight (Not confirmed)
Payload name: Ilmapall2016-2 (From the testing it seems that the carrier shift is not 425 as should be the default but ca 385Hz)

Frequency: 434.068 MHz (can be drift a little-bit)

Payload is sending signal in RTTY mode, using baudrate 50 baud, carrier shift is ca 385 Hz (that may change a little-bit), 7 bits per symbol, no parity, 2 stop bits.

On-board computer in the payload is an Arduino UNO, it's shield PCB was manufactured by company Brandner PCB (https://www.brandner.ee/).

Advice for students was given also by the staff of Tartu Observatory at Tõravere, Estonia.

As this is UK list for launches, we are still hoping that some may read it in Estonia, who can listen to the balloon.

WB8ELK news from HUNTSVILLE AL

I just launched a 2m APRS one with the SBS-12 envelope. Although I'm a bit over the recommended free lift of 4 grams. It is somewhere between 5.2 to 5.5 grams free lift.


This one is Solar-powered only with Supercaps. Payload weighs 14.80 grams but after the string and tape it is 15.80 grams for payload, string and tape. Free lift  around 5.2 to 5.5 grams.


APRS on 144.390 FM as well as 144.340 MHz FM every 2 minutes.


- Bill WB8ELK


Inflated and launched by myself in a light wind with no problems.


Predicted flight path is across north GA, north SC and then out to sea near Wilmington NC. Probably will stop transmitting just east of Charlotte due to sunset.

ARISS le 25 avril 2016 BURY UK at 12:02 utc

ARISS contact planned for Derby High School, Bury, United Kingdom

An International Space Station radio contact has been planned for Timothy Peake KG5BVI with participants at Derby High School, Bury, United Kingdom. The event is scheduled Monday 25 April 2016 at approximately 12:02 UTC. The amateur radio contact will be a direct contact operated by GB1DHS. The contact should be audible over Western Europe. Interested parties are invited to listen in on 145.800 MHz narrowband FM. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.

Presentation:

The Derby High School is a state comprehensive school (11-16 with 855 pupils 2015-16) situated in the town of Bury. The school is co-educational and is proud to be a community school supporting the diverse population of Bury and Radcliffe. 50% of students reside in an area within the top 20% of socio-economic deprivation nationally. The proportion of students who are disadvantaged and supported through the pupil premium is significantly high when compared with most schools. The proportion of students from minority ethnic backgrounds is well above average. The percentage of students who progress to post-16 studies is high.

The school opened in 1958 and in 2003 became the first Science and Arts Specialist College in the country.

The school motto: Excellence, Tradition and Imagination embodies all that we strive to achieve.

We are committed to offering a first class academic education with excellent vocational opportunities and preparation for the world of work. Sport is a strength and all our students learn how to ‘live well’; to cook, eat healthily and be physically active. Personal, moral, cultural and social education is crucial to the life of our school. Citizenship and ethical education take centre stage in our school.  We seek to equip our children and the wider community, not only to live in the future world, but to shape that future world and create a better tomorrow. We are proud to be the face of modern democratic Britain. Our values are enshrined in the 7 R’s: Respectful, Responsible, Reasonable, ready, Resourceful, Resilient and Right Impression

The enrichment and engagement opportunities on offer to pupils at The Derby would probably not be bettered anywhere. From humble beginnings in 2002, the program of events and activities has grown from a single educational visit to over 50 activities on offer year on year to all pupils regardless of ability.

The success of our program has in turn led to national recognition. In 2012 Mr Paul Kerr won an Institute of Physics Teacher Award for excellence in teaching and in recognition for the outstanding commitment to developing an extensive enrichment program. In 2013 the Science Department won the national TES Award for Educational Excellence in Science, and in 2014 was commended in the Science category at The Education Business Awards. In 2015 Mr Paul Kerr was also a finalist at The STEMNET Awards in the category of STEM Leadership.

Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:

1. Leah (year 7):  Tim, You have become an inspiration to young people, how do you feel about this?
2. Lewis (year 7):  Is it be possible to detect dark matter whilst in space?
3. Aisha (year 8):  How do you get enough electricity to power everything we see on the ISS?
4. Paul (year 9):  Do you think you will get to go on another space mission, and what might it be?
5. Shahaan (year 10): Can disease, as we know it on earth, exist in space?
6. Leah (year 11): What everyday task has become more complicated in space?
7. Nathan (year 5):  The Sun looks yellow from Earth, does it look different from space?
8. Francesca (year 5):  If you could invite two guests, past or present to join you for dinner on the ISS who would they be and why?
9. Rosie – year 5):  Does your heart beat faster or slower in space?
10. Hamaad (year 5):  Would you encourage your children to become astronauts?
11. Leah (year 7):  Do molecules and atoms behave differently in space?
12. Lewis (year 7):  Is it easier to see other planets in the Solar System from the ISS?
13. Aisha (year 8):  If you could visit your younger self what would you say about your experience?
14. Paul (year 9):  What is your most important experiment and how will we benefit down here on Earth?
15. Shahaan (year 10):  Do movies like Gravity give a realistic picture of being in space?
16. Leah (year 11):  You are completing over 200 experiments. How will they benefit us here on Earth?
17. Nathan (year 5):  If you fired a bullet in space how far would it go?
18. Francesca (year 5):  Why do you wear a mission patch on your space suit?
19. Rosie – year 5):  Do seeds grow faster in space than on Earth?
20. Hamaad (year 5):  Will being back on Earth ever be the same for you?

IMAGE de l 'espace : Dasht-e Kavir IRAN

Dasht-e Kavir The swirling landscape of Iran’s salt desert, Dasht-e Kavir, is reminiscent of an abstract painting in this Sentinel-1 image.
With temperatures reaching about 50ºC in the summer, this area sees little precipitation, but runoff from the surrounding mountains creates seasonal lakes and marshes. The high temperatures cause the water to evaporate, leaving behind clays and sand soils with a high concentration of minerals.
The ‘brushstroke’ patterns are geological layers eroded primarily by wind.
Iran is one of the world’s most important mineral producers. Earth-observing satellites are useful for finding and monitoring natural resources like minerals.
Along the left side of the image we can see part of an area known as the ‘devil’s dunes’ because it was believed to be haunted by evil spirits. This belief likely originated from its hostile conditions, and the early travellers who did attempt to cross it probably never returned due to starvation or dehydration.
This image combines three scans from Sentinel-1A’s radar on 21 January, 14 February and 9 March 2016. Changes between the acquisitions appear in vibrant bright colours – such as the blues, reds and greens we see primarily on the left half of the image. These areas are salt lakes and the colours show fluctuations in the amount of water present over time.

VS14 lancement prévu le samedi 23 avril 2016

ARIANESPACE MISSION VS14
SOYUZ - Sentinel-1B – Microscope – Fly Your Satellite!
REPORT DE 24 HEURES

La Au terme du bilan technique remplissage (BTR), la disponibilité du lanceur, des satellites, des moyens sol et de la base a été constatée.
Néanmoins, au vu des conditions météorologiques actuellement observées au-dessus du Centre Spatial Guyanais (CSG) et des prévisions pour le H0, Arianespace a décidé d’interrompre la chronologie finale et de ne pas engager les opérations de remplissage du lanceur.

Le lanceur et les satellites ont été mis en attente et en conditions de sécurité maximales.

Les évolutions météorologiques pour demain étant favorables, la nouvelle date de lancement visée est désormais le samedi 23 avril 2016, à un instant précis :

- 18h02mn13s, Heure de Kourou,
- 17h02mn13s, Heure de Washington DC,
- 21h02mn13s, Temps Universel,
- 23h02mn13s, Heure de Paris,
- 00h02mn13s, Heure de Moscou, le 24 avril.

ARIANESPACE FLIGHT VS14
SOYUZ - Sentinel-1B – Microscope – Fly Your Satellite!
LAUNCH POSTPONED BY 24 HOURS

The During the technical review prior to the start of Soyuz fueling, the availability of the launcher, satellites, ground facilities and the launch base was confirmed.  However, given the weather conditions currently observed above the Guiana Space Center – and the forecast for the moment of liftoff – Arianespace decided to interrupt the final countdown and not initiate launcher fueling operations.
The launch vehicle and its payloads have been placed in stand-by mode, and maintained in fully safe conditions.

As the weather outlook for tomorrow is favorable, Arianespace has set the new Flight VS14 launch date for the evening of Saturday, April 23, 2016, at exactly:

- 06:02:13 p.m., (Local time in French Guiana)
- 05:02:13 p.m., (in Washington, D.C.)
- 09:02:13 p.m., (UTC)
- 11:02:13 p.m., (in Paris)
- 00:02:13 a.m., (in Moscow) on April 24.

ARISS le 23 AVRIL vers 12h10 utc UK KENT

ARISS contact planned for Wellesley House School, Broadstairs, Kent, United Kingdom

An International Space Station radio contact has been planned for Timothy Peake KG5BVI with participants at Wellesley House School, Broadstairs, Kent, United Kingdom. The event is scheduled Saturday April 23 at approximately 12:10 UTC. The amateur radio contact will be a direct contact operated by GB1WHS. The contact should be audible over Western Europe. Interested parties are invited to listen in on 145.800 MHz narrowband FM. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.

Presentation:

Wellesley House is a prep school with approx. 140 pupils. Our aim is to open up a world of opportunity for girls and boys aged from 7 to 13. We are primarily a boarding school with about one third day pupils. Our catchment is vast, with international pupils as well as pupils from across the South East.

Our ethos is that success follows success, whether in or outside the classroom, and occurs naturally in pupils who are happy and motivated. All pupils are encouraged to push themselves and made to feel secure enough to take risks.

The school provided Space outreach for local schools in October 2014 following Science teacher Kerry Sabin-Dawson’s attendance at the ESERO-UK Space conference - the Primary Frontier in July 2014 in York. Inspired by the initiatives and resources available she held a Space training session for local primary teachers to encourage them to bring space education into the classroom.

Fourteen local schools attended and it was a great success. There was a representative from the Royal Greenwich Observatory, an education liaison officer from the local company Pfizer Ltd, Canterbury STEM ambassador Becky Vincer and John Hislop of the Monkton Stargazers, a local astronomy group. The organiser of the theatre group Spacefund explained how she had written the Team Tim show with the cooperation of Tim Peake, which was promptly booked by some of the schools.

Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:

1. Benny (age 12):  Today is International Marconi Day; how do you think Marconi would feel about this radio communication?
2. (Ruby (age 8):  From space, what evidence can you see that humans are having a negative impact upon planet Earth?
3. Robert (age 12):  We are planting seeds brought back by the Russian cosmonauts at Ursuline. How do you think they will grow?
4. Ellie (age 7):  What happens to a compass in Space?
5. Scarlett (age 7):  It is 400 years today since Shakespeare died. Which Shakespearean quote do you think best describes your mission?
6. Erica (age  ):  What is the biggest lesson you have learned whilst being in Space? (Chartfield)
7. Alica (age 10):  How do you think being in space has changed you? (River)
8. Max (age 7):  Do bacteria multiply at the same rate in a low gravity environment? (Pluckley)
9. Oliver (age 11):  What do you need to do to acclimatise back to the Earth’s gravity on your return? (Garlinge)
10. Joe (age 9):  Did you ever dream about becoming an astronaut when you were a child? (St L Junior Acad)
11. Ethan (age 12):  What space exploration do you think we will be doing in 200 years?   (Smarden)
12. Benny (age 12):  Have you played any jokes on your colleagues on the ISS? Scarlett
13. Ruby (age 8):  What is the first thing you are going to do when you get home? (St Lawrence)
14. Robert (age 12):  What was your spacewalk like? Elsie Meades (St Mildreds)
15. Ellie (age 7):  What’s your favourite experiment to conduct, and why? (Bromstone)
16. Scarlett (age 7):  What do you do if there is a fire on the ISS?
17. Erica (age 10):  Have you ever seen any other objects go past you in space such as comets or asteroids? (St George’s C of E)
18. Alisha (age 10):  Will you be visiting schools when you return to Earth? And will you please visit Wellesley House? (again)
19. Max (age 7):  How is time different in space?
20. Oliver (age 11):  Do you get a proxy vote if you are in space?

ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the volunteer support and leadership from AMSAT and IARU societies around the world with the ISS space agencies partners: NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA.

ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board the International Space Station.

dans ces pays semi désertiques.
En Europe, la question ne se pose pas de la même manière et le système mis en œuvre avec le
tracker.habhub qui permet aux débutants de s'équiper pour recevoir les émissions des ballons et injecter les trames vers le serveur est à mon humble avis préférable et plus motivant.
L'usage de l' APRS devrait passer après dans le choix technologique ou servir de second moyen
par sécurité comme une roue de secours après les autres modes numériques nouveaux et à venir.
Un élan vers cette technologie est en marche, il est préférable d'y participer, pour innover et grouper
les moyens techniques d'une multitude de stations d'écoute, plutôt que faire appel à une seule station
qui servira de passerelle APRS vers le site aprs.fi et le site tracker.habhub.org qui peut rendre
de plus grand service à la communauté et de le sous employer dans ce cas.

ARISS UK BEXHILL on Monday 18th, April

ARISS contact planned for St Richards Catholic College, Bexhill on Sea, United Kingdom

An International Space Station radio contact has been planned for Timothy Peake KG5BVI with participants at St Richards Catholic College, Bexhill on Sea, United Kingdom. The event is scheduled Monday April 18 at approximately 14:56 UTC. The amateur radio contact will be a direct contact operated by GB4SRC. The contact should be audible over Western Europe. Interested parties are invited to listen in on 145.800 MHz narrowband FM. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.

Presentation:

St Richard’s Catholic College is a Science Specialist school tucked between the South Downs and the English Channel. We have 1000 pupils on roll between Years 7–11. We provide an inclusive education for Catholic and Christian pupils covering an extended catchment area covering approximately a 30 mile radius.

St Richard’s was awarded Teaching School status late in 2014 and we are the lead school in the Thrive Alliance, an association of primary schools, secondary schools and a sixth form college as well as lead in the Sussex Science Subject Hub. We are also a strategic partner in the Sussex Maths Hub. St Richards’ Science department enjoys a very strong relationship with the University of Sussex  (particularly Astronomy & Physics); University of Greenwich (Outreach)and we sit on the STEM Focus Group hosted by the University of Brighton’s STEM Sussex.

We are a keen supporter of STEM events in our region, with particular success at the Annual STEM Fest event where we have won prizes at the National Science and Engineering Competition for the last four years, twice through to national competition. STEM Sussex have used St Richard’s STEM Clubs’ provision as an exemplar due to its success in engaging pupils of all abilities across all year groups. The department has also enjoyed a high quality Continuous Professional Development engagement in the STEM agenda with involvement in ‘Space as a context for teaching science’ courses and a future STEM project with the University of Rekyvik in Iceland.

We enjoy Space Camp UK, a residential trip with all things "spacy" at the National Space Centre and Duxford.
The coordinating teacher, Dr Joolz Durkin, is the curriculum enhancement for science and is also an enthusiastic "Space Ambasador" and has worked with the Tim Peake Primary Project at Parklands Infants Eastbourne, Dallington School in Dallington, Pebsham Primary in Bexhill on Sea and Vinehall School in Heathfield as part of this link up.

Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:

1. (Lucy - Year 9) - You have mentioned in an earlier call that you have been sleeping very well on the Space Station. Is that still the case or have you found any cumulative effects after four months in space ?

2. (Aeden - Year 10) - As the ISS hosts astronauts from many different nationalities, what public holidays do the crew observe, if any, and how are they chosen?

3. (Anna - Year 11) - St Richards and two of our Primary Project Partner school, Dallington and Vinehall are taking part in the RHS ‘Rocket Science’ Experiment from the Principia Mission. How will the results from this experiment influence future planning for growing similar samples in another planet’s gravity?

4. (Andrew - Year 11) - We have seen the preparation with Heston Blumental of an exciting astronaut menu for the mission – does the food taste the same in space as it did on Earth?

5. (Shona - Year 11) - In a sealed spacecraft like the International Space Station, how is the air quality monitored and controlled?

6. (Luigi - Year 11) - We see the wonderful time lapse images of the ISS orbiting the Earth, but what I like looking at are the stars and making out the constellations. Do you do any astronomical research on the ISS?

7. (Moira - Year 11) - During the mission you yourself are part of experiments using the British designed MMS Cerebral and Cochlear Fluid Pressure Analyser to collect data for the NASA Fluid Shifts investigation. Which aspect of the self-experimentation has been the most interesting or challenging?

8. (Chris - Year 9) - Are there any experiments that rely on naked flames on the ISS? If so, how are they carried out and what low gravity precautions are employed?

9. (Ancy - Year 11) - If I oversleep my parents will wake me up – have you overslept on the ISS and had to be woken up by someone?”

10. (Will - Year 10) - The distance between Bexhill and Brighton is 31 miles with a journey time by car of nearly 50 minutes. How much time would it take for the ISS to do this trip?

11. (Vita - Year 11) - What are the greatest challenges of living in space and in retaining a permanent crew on board the ISS?

12. (Max - Year 10) - You have tweeted some amazing and beautiful images of the aurora. Have you been able to monitor solar flare or CME activity and correlate to the brightness of the aurora?

13. (Ben - Year 11) - How does it feel to be able to see all humanity?

14. (Lucy - Year 9) - Is the ISS affected by the Earth’s magnetic field?

15. (Aeden - Year 10) - On Sunday you will be joining thousands of others in taking part in the London Marathon. What special routines have you trained for this in space?

16. (Anna - Year 11)) - In the London marathon, runners will have natural cooling as the run – how do you regulate your body temperature in a sealed environment such as the IS?.

17. (Andrew - Year 11) - We understand you are taking part in the Skin B research on the ISS?  Can you share any interesting findings?

18. (Shona - Year 11) - You have tweeted that having a bacon sandwich and cup of tea on arrival at the ISS was the best welcome possible.  What food are you looking forward to on landing?

19. (Luigi - Year 11) - What is special about space suits that help you breathe in space when on an EVA?

20. (Moira - Year 11) - How smooth was the launch in December?

This event creatively explores how research with astrobiology is contributing to novel biotechnologies and addressing preconceptions in the history of space exploration.

Work with the High Altitude Bioprospecting science-art team to plan the next phase of the HAB’s mission. Take part in hands-on making with 3D printers, robotics, rocket science and DNA analysis and learn how to sample for bacteria and other living organisms in extreme environments. ‎This will be a serious effort to build a working astrobiology payload and we are trying to attract as many specialist attendees as possible - this means UKHAS - as well as a wider mix of enthusiasts.

Witness a live ‘robot autopsy’ by internationally acclaimed performance artist Kira O’Reilly and the HAB team, and hear from a distinguished panel of experts in astrobiology, including Dr. Lynn Rothschild, an evolutionary biologist from NASA Ames Research Center, and Space Gynecologist Dr. Varsha Jain whose research examines menstrual suppression and the risks of blood clots in space.

This is an essential event for anyone interested in working creatively with curiosity-driven science, and those wanting to contribute to the future development of the High Altitude Bioprospecting project.

Suitable for adults and over 14s.

Tickets must be booked in advance. To secure a place and for more details please visit:

MAQRF112 : kesako ?

Hi all,
Has anyone any experience of flying a transmitter based on the MAQRF112 or (I think) its predecessor? I was drawn to it on the basis that it's 1.8V, seems pretty efficient, at least has leads so soldering's not as much of a pain as the DFN packages, and Microchip's sample program is always a bonus.

While searching around, I noticed that the CUSF guys gave a presentation on using it for RTTY a while back with crystal pulling (http://www.cusf.co.uk/wiki/_media/wombat_ukhas_talk.pdf) - I'm hoping to give this a go when I get the time, but wondering if anyone has used them in flights, and if so if they've performed well?

Thanks,

Michael (M0PEY)

=============================================

Salut à tous,
Quelqu'un a-t-il une expérience de faire voler un émetteur sur la base du MAQRF112 ou (je crois) de son prédécesseur? J'ai été attirée sur cette base qu'il est alimenté en 1.8V, il semble assez efficace, au moins a conduit donc à souder est pas autant de douleur que les DFN, et le programme d'échantillonnage de Microchip est toujours un bonus.
Pendant que je cherchais autour, j'ai remarqué que les gars du CUSF avaient  fait un exposé sur l'utilisation pour RTTY un certain temps avec un cristal de pulling. Voir : http://www.cusf.co.uk/wiki/_media/wombat_ukhas_talk.pdf
j'ai l'espoir de donner un départ quand j'aurai le temps, mais tout en me demandant si quelqu'un les a utilisés dans des vols, et si oui, si elles ont de bons résultats?
Merci,
Michael (M0PEY)

ARISS first school contact in the Czech Republic

The first school ARISS contact in the Czech Republic

On March 8 2016 HAM radio club OK2KYJ established a scheduled radio contact with the amateur radio station aboard the ISS (OR4ISS). The ESA astronaut Tim Peake (KE5UDN) from Great Britain was the radio operator of the space station.

Over 300 people gathered at the Faculty of Science of Palacky University in Olomouc in early morning on Tuesday 8th March 2016. Apart from guests representing the city of Olomouc, heads of various institutions, there were mostly students and teachers from three schools: Slovanske gymnazium Olomouc, Gymnazium Cajkovskeho and Gymnazium Olomouc – Hejcin, present in the contact room. They met together to gain knowledge about the space and the International Space Station (ISS). There were also representative students from each of the three schools, which had together prepared 18 questions to the astronaut.

After a few technical introductions, space and communication related topics (including how amateur radio works) and an excellent speech about the ISS prepared by Mgr. Lukas Richterek Ph. D., the radio club OK2KYJ started to call the astronaut on the board of the ISS. There were two operators of station: Ivo Dostal (OK2VWX) and Vilem Horacek (OK2BC), who were responsible for order of the students and the PTT button. Leo Hucin (OK2UUJ) was the radio coordinator of the contact. Eva Farmackova was the coordination teacher for this event. The radio contact started according to earlier predictions and plans. The radio signal during the contact was strong. The audio  was loud and clear.


The transcription of the event by Eva follows:

Ivo: Oscar Radio four India Sierra Sierra calling Oscar Kilo two Kilo Yankee Juliet OVER

ISS: - - -

Ivo: Oscar Radio four India Sierra Sierra calling Oscar Kilo two Kilo Yankee Juliet OVER

ISS/Tim Peak: Hello Oscar Kilo two Kilo Yankee Juliet this is Oscar Romeo four India Sierra Sierra. I hear you weak but readable OVER

Ivo: Good morning this is Ocean Kilo two Kilo Yankee Juliet fifty nine, very nice signal. And now mike over to my colleague. ROGER

Tim: Good morning Oscar Kilo two Kilo Yankee Juliet. I have you five by nine now, and it is a huge privilege to be speaking with the Czech Republic for the first time HAM radio call and I’m ready for your questions. OVER

Eva: Hi Tim, this is Eva and the students with EU 303 contact and a very warm welcome from Olomouc, Czech Republic. Are you ready for your first question? OVER

Tim: I am ready. OVER

Q1. Hi Tim, this is Alzbeta: What is it like eating in zero gravity? OVER
Tim: Hi Alzbeta, you know eating in zero gravity is a lot of fun because you do not have to put anything down, you can just let it float in front of you. Ehm. You do have to be careful not to make too much mess, though. OVER

Q2. Hi Tim, this is Frantisek. My question is: How can you relax on the ISS? Do you have time to watch movies? OVER
Tim: We are normally kept very busy during the week so we don’t really relax much. But on the weekends, we do get the time off and we get occasionally to watch a movie or take photographs out of the window or enjoy social media, something like that. OVER

Q3. Hi Tim, this is Vojtech: Is the day/night cycle the same as on Earth? Are you on shifts? OVER
Tim: Hi Vojtech, ehm we don’t work shifts so ehm we actually work a normal working day from about 7 in the morning till about 8 o’clock at night. And we stick to Greenwich Mean Time which is half way between Russia and the, and the U.S.A. approximately. So that’s the kind of working day we work. OVER

Q4. Hi Tim, this is Barb, this is Karolina with Barbora´s question: What was the most difficult or strangest thing to get used to on the ISS? OVER
Tim: It’s a great question. I think the most difficult thing is just microgravity and how to orient…., how to orientate yourself. It’s quite easy to get disorientated because you could be upside down. You could be working in all sort of different orientations. OVER

Q5. Hi Tim, this is Monika: Does your stay in space have any influence on your health and if so, how? OVER
Tim: Hi Monika, we have to exercise two hours every day to try and stop our bone density from reducing and to try and stop our muscle mass from reducing and also we lose a lot of body fluid and we get increased pressure in our heads. So there are lot of changes going on with our bodies. OVER

Q6. Hi Tim, this is Robin: What do you miss most from gravity on Earth? OVER
Tim: Hi Robin, that’s a good question. I miss being able to lie down in my bed at night. You know sleeping in the way it’s here is not too bad but it’s nothing like a good night sleep that you get in a proper bed with gravity. OVER

Q7. Hi Tim, this is Anna-Marie: How do you deal with the isolation from your family? OVER
Tim: Hi Anna-Marie. Oh, we get to talk to our family from the space station. We can call them and once a week we get a video conference with them as well. So we do, we do keep in touch with our family. But of course we miss them. Six months away from our family is a long time. OVER

Q8. Hi Tim, this is Linda: Is it possible to catch a cold on the ISS or is it a completely sterile environment? OVER
Tim: Hi Linda, that’s a great question. You know we shouldn’t catch a cold on the ISS where there are no viruses out here. It is quite sterile and the pre-flight team works well. Then new people arriving with the new crews won’t bring any diseases with them. But occasionally there have been shuffle crews who had come up to the space station with a cold and that has got round to everybody. OVER

Q9. Hi Tim, this is Tomas: Can you use a 3D printer in the same way as on Earth? OVER
Tim: Hi Tomas, Yes, you can use a 3D printer but it does need to be modified to microgravity. We need to use special materials and special injectors to make sure that they work correctly in microgravity. OVER

Q10. Hi Tim, this is Alzbeta: How do you overcome weightlessness when back on Earth? OVER
Tim: Hi Alzbeta. Well you know it takes us quite a lot of time. It takes about two weeks before we feel standing steady on our feet again and able to do most activities. But it will take up to one year, maybe two years, for our bones density to fully recover when we are back on Earth. And we have a rehabilitation programme that helps us with that. OVER

Q11. Hi Tim, this is Frantisek: Does time pass slower or faster in your daily routine aboard the ISS compared to life on Earth? OVER
Tim: Hi, that’s a great question. I think time passes very quickly. We are kept very busy up here. We just go from one activity to the next activity. So days go very fast. OVER

Q12. Hi Tim, this is Vojtech: Do you access the Internet in the same fashion as on Earth? OVER
Tim: We access the Internet by a server which is based in Houston so it’s slightly different and it’s very slow. It’s worse than a dial-up speed normally. So we don’t actually do much activity on the Internet. OVER

Q13. Hi Tim, this is Karolina with Barbora´s question: Do you have any musical instruments on the ISS? OVER
Tim: Hi, yes we have a guitar and we have a keyboard on the space station. I haven’t yet managed to find time to play the guitar but I hope to do so before I leave. OVER

Q14. Hi Tim, this is Monika: Are you planning a stay of a small pet aboard the ISS? OVER
Tim: Hi Monika, Well you know, we don’t really have pets on board but we have had some animals in the past. We have had fish on board the space station. We have had ants, some other insects. And on the future vehicle some Japanese expert is bringing some mice up to the space station, which will be returned to Japan and they will be studying their offspring. OVER

Q15. Hi Tim, this is Robin: Are there any special items that you carry with you all the time? OVER
Tim: Hi Robin, well they are not very special but I do carry with me a torch all the time and a Leatherman because they… ehm I use them probably about 5 or 6 times every day. OVER

Q16. Hi Tim, this is Anna-Marie: What do you think is the biggest problem for humans to go beyond low earth orbit? OVER
Tim: Hi Anna-Marie. A great question. I think the biggest problem at the moment is dealing with Radiation. Because, you know, propulsion techniques are getting better, we’ll be able to go to Mars. It may take three, you know, two or three years. But the biggest problem would be how to protect ourselves from the radiation. OVER

Q17. Hi Tim, this is Linda: How are you being filmed during a spacewalk? OVER
Tim: Hi Linda. Well, we have cameras on our helmets that send the signal over radio, and a backpack one which is big enough to be able to carry out the video signal. So that’s how we get our images back. And also the Russians  used a camera outside and we downloaded the imagery after the spacewalk. OVER

Q18. Hi Tim, this is Tomas: Is it possible to compare life on ISS to somewhere on Earth? OVER
Tim: Hi Tomas. That’s a good question. I think probably it’s like life on a submarine in many ways, you know. We’re quite isolated. We have recycled air; we recycle all of our urine into water. We eat food out of packages which are warmed up. And we do have hot water, too. So it’s a kind of environment you might experience living in a submarine. OVER

Eva: Hi Tim, this is Eva. Thank you very much and ARISS for having us today. Best wishes to all aboard the ISS. Be safe. OVER

APPLAUSE while Tim speaking: Hi Eva, Everybody asked brilliant questions today. It has been a real pleasure talking to you in the Czech Republic HAM call this morning and have a great day. Many thanks indeed. Good bye.

Leo: This is Oscar Kilo two Kilo Yankee Juliet. Thank you very much Tim.

Tim: Good bye off to Oscar Kilo two Kilo Yankee Juliet. This is Oscar Romeo four India Sierra Sierra. Good bye. Many thanks indeed. It would be great talking to you again some time. Thank you. Bye bye.

Ivo: Bye bye. AHOJ!

Duration of the radio contact was approximately eight and half minutes and students asked all 18 questions to the astronaut and got intelligible answers for all of them. After the event, there was a lot of happiness and many words of thanks for supporting and organizing this event. One of them was to the ARISS team and its mentor for Europe Armand Budzianowski as well. The event was direct, however in the background the Faculty of Science enabled a connection by landline with the ARISS telebridge station in Italy operated by Claudio Ariotti IK1SLD and Fabio Inglese IW1BND. It was the backup ground station, just in a case of something wrong in the ground station in Czech Republic. In both locations, as well as in Ireland, UK, Italy, Poland were also HAM TV ground stations ready to work to receive video from the ISS and stream it to the Czech Republic, however the HAM TV transmitter on the ISS was off, because of a scientific experiment performed at the same time.

The event was streamed with video to the Internet thanks to AVP UP team and audio was streamed to Echo Link AMSAT conference room (node 101 377) thanks to Claudio Ariotti IK1SLD and Fabio Inglese IW1BND. Listeners of Czech national radio Cesky rozhlas could listen to the event live and the Czech national TV channel CT24 had about 52 thousand viewers at the time of live broadcasting.

After the event organizers and students met with media at a conference. There were reporters from 5 TV stations, several radio stations and press representatives, both local and national. Organizers of the event had received many phone calls and e-mails with thanks and appreciation. Many teachers throughout the Czech Republic, Slovakia and even one from London, had e-mailed the coordinating teachers expressing thanks, sharing comments, feedback and information about the on-line followers. Even Mr. Michal Vaclavik from the Czech Space Office had found time to e-mail a few words of congratulations to us from Costa Rica’s International Conference along with Charles Bolden, Bill Nelson, Franklin Chang Diaz, Takao Doi, Luca Parmitano, Kenneth Cameron, Fei Junlong, Liu Wang a Marcos Pontes.
What is more, many teachers of English as a second language keep showing interest and ask for the transcription of the event as well as the recording and video for further use in their English lessons. They have also started using English texts about ISS, space and amateur radio contacts as reading comprehension exercises to make their lessons more interesting and up-to-date.

And apart from the following list of links, many members of the Olomouc Amateur Radio Club OK2KYJ have been asked to speak at AFO (Academic Film Festival in Olomouc) and write articles about the event for various scientific magazines. Some of the photos and articles are planned to be displayed at Olomouc Science Museum with follow-up lectures about the event, ARISS and ISS.
