Новости на станции МИР

10 ноября, с космической станции МИР, запущен новый радиолюбительский спутник RS-18. Это произошло во время выхода космонавтов в открытый космос. Кстати говоря, выход космонавтов начался как раз над Томском, в 22:20 космонавты перешли на автономное питание и открыли выходной люк. Это было слышно на их частоте связи с ЦУП-ом. А в 23:52-00:02 UTC сигналы от спутника RS-18 были приняты Итальянским радиолюбителем Claudio, IK1SLD. Claudio предлагает послушать записанный им сигнал на его страницах в сети http://www.ik1sld.org .

RS-18 также как и RS-17 был изготовлен Французскими и Российскими школьниками. Названный Спутник 41 (и возможно RS-18), этот новый спутник имеет тот же размер, что и его предшественник (Спутник 40/RS-17) и весом почти 4 килограмма. Эта последняя версия действующего макета имеет мощность передатчика 150-200 mW на частоте 145.812 MHz (плюс/минус 5 kHz учитывая Доплеровский сдвиг). Новый спутник не имеет каких-либо солнечных батарей и его предполагаемый срок службы составит около 30 дней.

Спутник 41 - результат совместных усилий группы AMSAT-ФРАНЦИЯ и России. Как сообщил Gerard, F6FAO, Спутник 41 это полностью новая модель спутника, а не дубликат Спутника 40, который все еще на борту космической станции МИР и этот спутник будет запущен где-то в 1999.

Gerard сообщил, что Спутник 41 кроме простого маяка 'пии-пии' дополнительно имеет возможность передачи телеметрии (информация о внутренней температуре вычисляется из частоты тона маяка), и также передает в записи речевые приветствия на трех языках; Французский, Английский, и Русский. Первое сообщение читает 14-летний Константин Самбуров на Английском языке с Русским акцентом "1998 was the International Year of Air and Space", второе сообщение тот же текст на Русском языке и Французком, и последнее сообщение на Английском "The International year of Air and Space".

Bruce, KK5DO, сообщает, что он скорректировал список всех AMSAT дипломов, который был распространен 1 Ноября 1998 менеджером AMSAT Mike, WA5TWT; включая Южно Африканские дипломы за достижения в области связи, диплом Oscar за достижения в области связи, диплом столетия Oscar и много других. Более подробно смотрите - http://www.amsatnet.com



Matt, WV1K, сообщает, что он создал раздел для обсуждения трансивера серии Icom 706; модель, которая популярна у радиолюбителей. Смотрите на http://www.qsl.net/wv1k/guestbook/addguest.html для более подробной информации.



Глубокий космос 1 - первый космический корабль NASA в новой программе Millennium работает хорошо. Контроллеры управления полетом готовы для начальных тестов ионного двигателя. Двигатель нагревает ксенон и выталкивает ионы со скоростью 30 километров в секунду, что обеспечит небольшое, но устойчивое движение корабля. Если все пойдет хорошо, то космический корабль должен догнать небольшой астероид в Июле 1999 и комету Wilson-Harrington в Январе 2001.



FCC (Федеральный Центр по Связи в США) предлагает внести новое требование к производителям сотовых телефонов с целью модификации их технологий так, чтобы FBI и полиция могли определить место вызовов делаемых пользователями мобильных телефонов. Оппоненты говорят, что такое правило FCC может нарушить Конституционные права секретности.

The PBBS is running a Kantronics KPC-9612 + V.8.1 TNC. The
commands are similar to most PBBS and BBS systems.

November, 1998 marks the 10th year of Amateur Radio activity from
Mir. ANS congratulates MIREX and everyone associated with the
wonderful experience of ham radio activity aboard the Mir space station.

MIREX has announced an on going APRS School Days Test. MIREX is
allowing schools to use APRS for position and status reports via R0MIR.
Non-school stations are asked to refrain from using APRS type
transmissions or beacons via R0MIR.

Scott, WA6LIE, recently posted a revised set of instructions on how to
work the Mir space station on the SAREX reflector. Copies of the
instructions are available from Scott by e-mail at wa6lie@juno.com, or
by packet at wa6lie@wa6lie.#wcca.ca.usa.noam.

The RS-12/13 satellite has seen many recent changes in operation
during the past weeks. Modes K, T, KT and simultaneous RS-13
operation have all been reported by a number of stations.

No official word from the satellite controllers has been received.
ANS recommends monitoring each satellite carefully to determine the
transponder in operation and which mode it is operating in.

YO3FFF reports working the RS-13 robot recently.

RS-12/13 command is now in the hands of Alex Papkov, in
Kaluga City, Russia.

RS-15
Uplink 145.858 to 145.898 MHz CW/SSB	
Downlink 29.354 to 29.394 MHz CW/SSB 	
Beacon  29.352 MHz  (intermittent)	
Semi-operational, mode A, using a 2-meter uplink and a 10-meter
downlink.

Dave, WB6LLO, reports he has prepared a "quick and dirty" set of
operating instructions for RS-15 at the following URL:

OSCAR 10  AO-10
Uplink 435.030 to 435.180 MHz CW/LSB	
Downlink 145.975 to 145.825 MHz CW/USB	
Beacon 145.810 MHz (unmodulated carrier)	
Semi-operational, mode B, currently in 'sleep' mode.
AO-10 is locked into a 70-cm uplink and a 2-meter downlink.

Several stations are reporting Oscar 10 activity, including K6YK, W4FJ
and KF4FDJ.

W4SM has more information about the satellite at the following URL:

[ANS thanks Stacey Mills, W4SM, for his AO-10 status information and
web site]

AO-27
Uplink     145.850 MHz FM	
Downlink 436.792 MHz FM	
Operational, mode J.

AO-27 TEPR States are currently:
    4  = 36 = 18 Minutes
    5  = 72 = 36 Minutes

This means AO-27's transmitter turns on 18 minutes after entering the
Sun and stays on for 18 minutes. AO-27's transmitter is turned off at all
other times during the orbit. N4USI reminds stations that this happens
on every orbit, approximately 14 times a day. The current TEPR
settings will cause the satellite to be on during the daytime at northern
latitudes.

[ANS thanks Michael Wyrick, N4USI, AO-27 Control-op for this update]

JAS-1b  FO-20
Uplink 145.900 to 146.00 MHz CW/LSB	
Downlink 435.80 to 435.90 MHz CW/USB	
Operational. FO-20 is in mode JA continuously.

[ANS thanks Kazu Sakamoto, JJ1WTK, for the FO-20 status reports]

JAS-2  FO-29
Voice/CW Mode JA	
Uplink 145.900 to 146.00 MHz CW/LSB	
Downlink 435.80 to 435.90 MHz CW/USB

Digital Mode JD	
Uplink 145.850   145.870  145.910 MHz FM	
Downlink 435.910 MHz FM 9600 baud BPSK	
Not operational, the satellite is in JA (voice) mode.

Kazu, JJ1WTK, tells ANS that the FO-29 Command Team has released
the following announcement concerning FO-29 status:

The present JA mode of operation will continue to investigate the
frequency of bit errors in the on-board-computer. Reports from Amateurs
on the value of channel 2A are appreciated. The position of 2A is the
fifth item after 'HI HI' in CW telemetry. The normal value is '00'. Reports
should be sent to lab@jarl.or.jp.

FO-29 is still in 'full sun illumination'; this should end in December.

The on-board-computer (OBC) did accept commands from ground
control before full illumination began. The FO-29 Command Team says
digital (JD) mode operation may be available in December. Digi-talker
operation is also being planned. The next announcement is expected
November 20th.

KITSAT  KO-23
Uplink 145.900 MHz FM 9600 Baud FSK	
Downlink 435.175 MHz FM	
Semi-operational. The satellite has a strong carrier but no downlinked
data. ANS has no official information on the cause of this problem.

Richard, G3RWL, reports KO-23 has entered another period of
permanent sunlight causing the spacecraft temperature to rise. The
higher temperature brings deviation increases and ground stations
experience degraded reception (strong carrier but little or no data
received). CX6DD and WS4Z also report degraded reception.

[ANS thanks Jim Weisenberger, AA7KC, for this report]

KITSAT  KO-25
Uplink 145.980 MHz FM 9600 Baud FSK

UO-22
Uplink 145.900 or 145.975 MHz FM 9600 Baud FSK

UO-22 for this report]

OSCAR-11
Downlink 145.825 MHz FM, 1200 Baud AFSK	
Beacon 2401.500 MHz	
Operational.

Two new WOD software packages have recently added to the Oscar 11
web site. The first package enables various WOD channels to be
compared with the solar eclipse status of the satellite. The second
package compares measured and calculated magnetic fields
encountered by Oscar 11. Both packages are of an advanced nature,
users will need experience using the other WOD packages on the web
site along with a spreadsheet program.
