ARISS contact planned for Venta School Carp Ontario Canada

ARISS contact planned for Venta School, Carp, Ontario, Canada

An International Space Station radio contact has been planned for Jeff Williams KD5TVQ with participants at Venta School, Carp, Ontario, Canada. The event is scheduled Monday 30 May 2016 at approximately 19:01 UTC.

The amateur radio contact will be a telebridge contact operated by IK1SLD in northern Italy. The downlink signals should be audible over parts of Europe. Interested parties are invited to listen in on 145.800 MHz narrowband FM.

Presentation:

Venta Preparatory School is a small day and boarding school from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 10, located just outside of Ottawa in Carp, Ontario. We foster and continually enhance an environment where each student can grow and achieve their highest potential.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:

1) Maggie: How do different cultural backgrounds of the astronauts impact space station life?

2) Ashton: What are the topics of conversation between the different astronauts given they are from different countries?

3) Samuel: What is the common language on board the space station? Is there a common language that all must speak?

4) Kyota: Do you use personal tablets or electronic devices on board – can an IPhone work in space?

5) Alexis: How do you feel both emotionally and physically on the space station?

6) Eren: Are your meals decided for you or do you have a choice – can you bring favorite items with you from earth?

7) Anika: Do you envision a future space station with hundreds of people on board?

8) Kampbell: What specific work or research are you doing during your mission on the space station?

9) Olivia: How does the line of authority work on the space station – does the commanding officer have final say on all decisions?

10) Aparna: What are your favorite views of earth?

11) Cadence: With fans/equipment running, is it noisy or quiet on board?

12) Russell: What are the temperatures and climate settings like? Is it cool and who controls this?

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 NOVA31 - JOEY le mercredi 25 mai 2016

Hi everyone,

We plan to launch NOVA31 carrying a JOEY payload today (Wednesday) around
12noon from Churchill College Cambridge. The callsign is JOEY, on 434.592
MHz, with 270Hz shift, 50bd, ASCII-8, 2 stop bits. dl-fldigi should be able
to autoconfigure just fine.

This launch is for a school we're working with and carrying some of their
payloads and cameras (and the hopes and dreams of a class of school
children, of course), so we plan to be chasing and recovering. Estimated
burst around 25-30km.

As always any help with tracking would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Adam

LANCEMENT VS15 : ARIANESPACE LANCE AVEC SUCCES DEUX NOUVEAUX SATELLITES DE LA CONSTELLATION GALILEO

LANCEMENT VS15 : ARIANESPACE LANCE AVEC SUCCES DEUX NOUVEAUX SATELLITES DE LA CONSTELLATION GALILEO

Arianespace a lancé avec succès les satellites 13 et 14 de la constellation Galileo, pour la Commission Européenne (DG Grow), dans le cadre d’un contrat avec l’Agence Spatiale Européenne (ESA).

Le deuxième lancement Soyuz de l’année 2016, a eu lieu le 24 mai à 05h48 (heure de Kourou) depuis le Centre Spatial Guyanais (CSG).

Avec ce septième lancement de Soyuz depuis le CSG au profit de la constellation, 14 sa-tellites Galileo auront été déployés en orbite par Arianespace. Avant la fin de l’année 2016, quatre satellites supplémentaires de la constellation Galileo seront lancés par une Ariane 5 ES, permettant de démarrer les premiers services.

Avec ce nouveau succès, le 4e de l’année 2016, Arianespace fête le 250e lancement de-puis le CSG de sa famille de lanceurs (229 Ariane, 15 Soyuz, 6 Vega), confirmant ainsi sa performance opérationnelle dans la durée au profit de l’ensemble de ses clients.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FLIGHT VS15: ARIANESPACE ORBITS TWO MORE GALILEO SATELLITES

Arianespace has successfully launched the 13th and 14th satellites in the Galileo constel-lation for the European Commission’s DG GROWTH (Directorate-General for Internal Mar-ket, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs), under a contract with the European Space Agency (ESA).

The company’s second Soyuz launch of the year took place on May 24 at 5:48 am (local time) from the Guiana Space Center (CSG) in Kourou, French Guiana.
With this seventh Soyuz launch from CSG at the service of Galileo, the company has now orbited 14 satellites for the global navigation system. Before the end of 2016, Ari-anespace will launch four more Galileo satellites, using an Ariane 5 ES launch vehicle, enabling the system to offer its initial services.

Today’s Soyuz success – the fourth launch overall in 2016 for Arianespace - marks the 250th launch from the Guiana Space Center with its family of launchers. This total, com-posed of 229 Ariane flights, 15 with Soyuz and six liftoffs of Vega, confirms Ari-anespace’s operational performance over time for the benefit of all its clients.

ANNONCE BALLON UK PI434 & PI868 le 26 mai 2016



This is a second test of a prototype PITS board, with basically the same code and configuration as my last flight.  1600g Hwoyee again so should get up high.




ANNONCE BALLON UK ROSS ON WYE  le 26 mai 2016 à 13 h 00

There'll be LORA 868 and RTTY 434 to listen to.  Images on LORA only, with telemetry overlay.  The camera is the Raspberry Pi Sony camera rather than the older Omnivision.

Payload details:

Payload ID PI434, RTTY, 434.250MHz, 850Hz shift, 300 baud, 8 N 2, telemetry only.

Payload ID PI868, LoRa, 869.850MHz, "Mode 3" in my gateway (250kHz bandwidth, SF7, EC4:6, Explicit header), SSDV and telemetry.

If you have a LoRa 868 gateway please do help with tracking.  The flight path is NW of here (Ross On Wye) but it's not travelling far.  I've updated the LoRa gateway with a slightly clearer status screen, but the old version works fine.  I will be testing a newer version here, using Phil's new API to upload multiple packets at once to the SSDV server, and I'll make that available if anyone else wants to try it.

Both RTTY and LoRa signals will stop for a few seconds each minute, during which time one of my gateways will be sending a message up to the tracker to request a re-send of missing SSDV packets.  So if you watch the SSDV page then you should see missing packets getting filled in later.

Tomsk-TPU-120 CubeSat Celebrates University Anniversary

The Russian Tomsk-TPU-120 CubeSat is different from other CubeSats : it has a handle!

The 3U CubeSat was launched from Baikonur to the ISS on March 31, 2016 in a Progress-MS-2 cargo vessel. It will be deployed by hand during a future Russian spacewalk (EVA), which is why it has a handle.

The satellite was developed by students at the Tomsk Polytechnic University to test new space materials technology and will be the world’s first space vehicle with a 3D-printed structure.

In May 2016 Tomsk Polytechnic University celebrates its 120th anniversary. As part of the celebrations on May 10-11 Tomsk-TPU-120 will be activated in the ISS and will transmit a greeting to Earth inhabitants, recorded by students of the university in 10 languages: Russian, English, German, French, Chinese, Arabic, Tatar, Indian, Kazakh and Portuguese.

The greeting signal will be transmitted once a minute on 437.025 MHz FM.

One of the Kenwood transceivers on the ISS will provide a simulcast of the signal on 145.800 MHz FM.

The Tomsk satellite onboard ISS will be turned on May 10 at 07:55 UTC and switched off on May 11 at 10:10 UTC.

Reception reports will be appreciated. Please send reports to

ARISS le 9 mai 2016 DEVON UK

ARISS contact planned for The Kings School, Ottery St Mary, Devon, United Kingdom

An International Space Station radio contact has been planned for Timothy Peake KG5BVI with participants at The Kings School, Ottery St Mary, Devon, United Kingdom. The event is scheduled Monday 9 May 2016 at approximately 09:26 UTC. The amateur radio contact will be a direct contact operated by GB1OSM. The contact should be audible over Western Europe. Interested parties are invited to listen in on 145.800 MHz narrowband FM.

Presentation:

The King’s School is an 11-18 comprehensive school with approximately 1150 students of which 230 are in the Sixth Form. It has a long and proud history that can be traced back to a fourteenth century choir school which was replaced in 1545 by Henry VIII in 1545 with “The King’s School”.
Although The King’s School became an academy in 2011 we continue to work in close partnership with Devon County Council and our fellow secondary schools to ensure that we offer the best educational opportunities possible. Our inclusive philosophy of “Achievement for All” encapsulates our belief that every person who enters The King’s School has unique skills and potential which we believe we have the creativity and ability to unlock.

We were graded Outstanding by OfSTED in 2011, and in the latest 2014 OfSTED inspection we were again graded Outstanding but this time in every category. The report endorsed the school’s belief that its ethos has a hugely positive impact on student achievement.

We are extremely proud of our students and of the brilliant examination results they achieve year on year.  However, we are also incredibly proud of the myriad of extra-curricular activities in which they are involved. This richness of opportunity is central to what we believe develops our students into well rounded young people. We are very much a community school, working very closely with our hugely supportive parents, Governors, excellent partner primary schools, local business representatives and a wide range of other agencies to provide opportunities for all.

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

1. Lara, aged 13 - You have missed Christmas and Easter with your family and friends – how have you celebrated big events in space?

2. Harry, aged 12 - We have seen videos of you playing about in microgravity on the ISS – what is your favourite thing to do when ‘weightless?’

3. Elizabeth, aged 18 - From your elevated advantage point, looking down on the Earth, has your perception of the events on our planet, such as conflicts and wars been altered? Does the change in perception give any insight that we could learn from?

4. Eleanor, aged 11 - Having spent many months looking at the Earth from afar, where is the first place you would go for a family holiday when you get home?

5. Freddie, aged 12 - Over 500 astronauts have been into space, but only 12 have set foot on the moon. Do you think that we will return people to the moon again in the future? How will your research on the ISS help us if we did?

6. Naomi, aged 13 - We have learned about your experiments on how the human body adapts to conditions in space. How will the research improve our quality of life on Earth?

7. Robert, aged 13 - Taking into account Einstein’s theory of relativity, do you think you are ageing slower because you are travelling faster then the Earth?

8. Ben, aged 11 - I often stare into the inky blackness of space and wonder.. if the universe is expanding, then what is it expanding into? Has your time in space given you any insight?

9. Robbie, aged 14 - Is the sunrise more spectacular from your perspective?

10. Emily, aged 13 - After 6 years of training to be an astronaut, I bet it’s all been worth it. The experiments you are doing are amazing, but did you ever struggle with Science at school? What would you say to anyone that finds it difficult?

11. Josh, aged 12 - How do you get your air in space? Do you bring it up in tanks, or do you make it in the space station, if so, how?  Also, do you have a special ‘space mixture’ of air or is it the same as we have on earth?

12. Tristan, aged 12 - Do you and the other astronauts onboard control the space station, or is it controlled from Earth?

13. Katie, aged 12 - Research shows that your sleeping position can affect the kind of dreams that you have. Have you noticed any difference in your sleep patterns or dreams during your time in space?

14. Chloe, aged 12 - I am reading ‘The Astronaut’s Handbook’ at the moment, which is fascinating. If you could take one thing into space to make life more comfortable, or easier, what would it be?

15. James, aged 12 - We have enjoyed listening to your music choices on ‘Space Rocks’ – what is your all-time favourite song to listen to in space?

16. Jessica, aged 12 - How do you keep the temperature constant inside the space station?

17. James, aged 12 - What would happen to a goldfish if you took it up to the ISS? Would it just float around in a bubble of water?

18. Josh, aged 12 - Do you have a special ‘space mixture’ of air or is it the same as we have on earth?

19. Freddie, aged 12 - How will your research on the ISS help us return people to the moon?

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.

fichier ino sur demande via f6agv '@' free.fr  attention les versions se suivent et ne sont pas garanties comme définitives et exemptes d'erreurs...
un petit groupe informel s'est créé, au quatre coin de la France, vous pouvez suivre le mouvement ?
envoyez moi, votre version testée en vrai avec le NTX2B et un GPS.
Aujourd'hui, les tests ont repris et il y a des problèmes avec l'étage d'entrée de l'émetteur NTX2B, le
but est de moduler avec le maximum de pureté du signal UHF et adapter l'entrée du GPS qui pour
l'instant est alimenté en 3 volts...
A suivre,
Commentaires et critiques positives bienvenues...
