It highlights the strategic alignment between the opportunity and AMSATâs ongoing <strong>GOLF (Greater Orbit, Larger Footprint)</strong> program, which is building the technologies and operational experience needed for amateur radio satellites in progressively higher orbitsâfrom LEO through MEO to HEO.</p> <p dir="auto">A high-Earth deployment would provide an outstanding environment to qualify key GOLF technologiesâparticularly radiation-tolerant electronics, advanced Software-Defined Radio (SDR) transponders, three-axis attitude determination and control, and deployable/steerable solar arraysâin the demanding thermal, radiation, and trajectory conditions beyond low Earth orbit. Such a mission would significantly expand amateur radioâs âlarger footprint,â deliver critical flight heritage, and create clear synergies with NASAâs exploration, technology demonstration, and public engagement goals.</p> <p dir="auto">The LOI emphasizes AMSATâs long heritage of successful CubeSat missions (including the Fox series flown via NASA CSLI/ELaNa) and its robust portfolio of educational and university partnership programs. These include the CubeSat Simulator Program used worldwide in schools and universities, collaborations such as the radiation experiment from Vanderbilt University and imaging payloads from Virginia Tech on Fox satellites, broader STEM outreach through live satellite contacts and telemetry projects, and active mentorship of student teams and early-career professionals.</p> <p dir="auto">AMSAT is prepared to deliver a flight-ready CubeSat payload, leveraging its proven engineering pipeline, dedicated volunteer technical team, and sustainable funding model of membership support, targeted donations, and grants. AMSAT proposes a 6U-class spacecraft (<14 kg) featuring deployable solar arrays and an AMSAT-developed amateur radio communications system supporting VHF uplink/UHF downlink plus 5 GHz uplink and 10 GHz downlink. A precursor 3U technology demonstrator, GOLF-TEE, is under construction with completion targeted by the end of the year; if selected, AMSAT would pivot development toward the 6U configuration in collaboration with partners. Ground operations would leverage the global amateur radio community for telemetry reception via AMSATâs analysis tools, supported by dedicated AMSAT command stations.</p> <p dir="auto">The organization is genuinely excited about the prospect of contributing an AMSAT-developed CubeSat to the Artemis programâadvancing amateur radioâs historic role in space exploration, qualifying technologies for future HEO and lunar missions, and inspiring students and the global public through meaningful educational partnerships.</p> <p><em>[ANS thanks AMSAT for the above information]</em></p> </div> <hr> <p style="text-align:center"><strong>The 2026 President's Club Coin is Now Here!</strong> <strong>Help Support GOLF and FoxPlus.</strong></p> <p style="text-align:center"><img class="gmail-aligncenter gmail-size-medium gmail-wp-image-63195" src="https://www.amsat.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/PC-2026-Coin-2S-Color-1-300x152.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="152"></p> <p style="text-align:center"><strong>Annual memberships start at only $120</strong></p> <p style="text-align:center"><strong>Join the AMSAT Presidentâs Club today and help</strong> <strong>Keep Amateur Radio in Space!</strong> <a href="https://www.amsat.org/join-the-amsat-presidents-club/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>https://www.amsat.org/join-the-amsat-presidents-club/</strong></a></p> <hr> <h2><strong>OscarWatch Tracker: A New Satellite Tracking Program from MM9SQL</strong></h2> <p dir="auto">A new multi-platform desktop satellite tracking application for amateur radio operators, <strong>OscarWatch Tracker</strong>, has been released and is under active development. Developed by Peter Goodhall, MM9SQL, and hosted on GitHub, OscarWatch provides an integrated environment for tracking AMSAT and other amateur satellites, predicting passes, managing Doppler-corrected frequencies, and optionally automating rotator and radio controlâall from a single map-centered interface.</p> <h3 dir="auto">Key Features</h3> <p dir="auto">OscarWatch is tailored for VHF/UHF satellite operators working FM cubesats (e.g., SO-50, ISS), linear transponders (e.g., RS-44, FO-29), and similar modes. It assumes familiarity with basic concepts like azimuth, elevation, and Doppler but automates the calculations and hardware interactions to let operators focus on making contacts.</p> <ul dir="auto"> <li><strong>Visual Tracking</strong>: World map with satellite subpoint, ground track, and footprint overlays (with optional motion arrows and greyline terminator). Includes a polar sky plot relative to your QTH. Support for time scrubbing to preview passes without affecting live hardware. Optional DX station grid marker with live Az/El from the remote location.</li> <li><strong>Pass Predictions</strong>: List of upcoming passes with TCA (time of closest approach/max elevation), filters for minimum elevation and duration. Features include a pass planner with multi-station profiles and .ics calendar export, plus a mutual pass finder for two-station coordination.</li> <li><strong>Frequency Management</strong>: Built-in transponder database with live Doppler-corrected uplink/downlink frequencies. Supports RX offsets (separate for Voice/CW on linear modes), CTCSS tones, and easy toggling between modes. Includes a transponder database editor for custom additions and updates from the published JSON source.</li> <li><strong>Hardware Integration</strong>: Optional serial CAT control for supported radios (including Icom IC-910/9100/9700/705, Yaesu FT-847/817/818/991 series, Kenwood TS-2000 beta) with Doppler tracking, satellite/split modes, and CTCSS handling. Dual-radio support for full-duplex setups. Rotator control for Yaesu GS-232 and EasyComm-compatible controllers (including SPID), with manual park and smart azimuth options for 450Â° rotators.</li> <li><strong>Additional Tools</strong>: Voice announcements for satellite rising, automatic pass WAV recording, Cloudlog integration for frequency logging, and live telemetry (Az/El, range, altitude).</li> </ul> <p dir="auto">OscarWatch does not decode telemetry or serve as primary logging software; it complements existing tools as a pass assistant for home or portable use. TLEs and the transponder database are sourced from <a href="https://tle.oscarwatch.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tle.oscarwatch.org</a>.</p> <h3 dir="auto">Getting Started</h3> <p dir="auto">Pre-built binaries for Windows, macOS, and Linux are available on the <a href="https://github.com/magicbug/OscarWatch-Tracker/releases" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GitHub Releases page</a>. After installation:</p> <ol dir="auto"> <li>Configure your station location (lat/long/grid) in Settings.</li> <li>Select desired satellites and refresh TLEs.</li> <li>Set up radio and rotator COM ports if using automation.</li> <li>Focus a satellite via the map or pass list to view live data and frequencies.</li> </ol> <p dir="auto">Detailed operator guides, keyboard shortcuts, and troubleshooting are included in the app's Help menu and the repository's help/ folder. Note that macOS users may need to approve the unsigned app and bundled libraries on first launch.</p> <h3 dir="auto">Supported Hardware Highlights</h3> <p dir="auto"><strong>Radios</strong> (serial CAT, native drivers): Icom IC-910/9100/9700/705, Yaesu FT-847/817/818/991 series, Kenwood TS-2000 (beta), with dual-radio options. <strong>Rotators</strong>: Yaesu GS-232, EasyComm II (SPID/M2/etc.).</p> <p dir="auto">The project emphasizes custom native drivers for reliable satellite-specific behavior over general libraries like HamLib.</p> <p dir="auto">OscarWatch is still evolving rapidly (recent versions added in-app updates, multi-language support including Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Brazilian Portuguese, greyline overlays, mutual pass visualizer, and expanded rig/rotator support).

Weekly updates are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. TLE bulletin files are updated daily in the first hour of the UTC day. New bulletin files will be posted immediately after reliable elements become available for new amateur satellites. More information may be found at<a href="https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/">Â https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/</a>.</p> <p>There are no changes to this week's TLE distribution.</p> <h3>General Perturbations Data Support</h3> <p>AMSAT is pleased to announce that modern forms of what are called General Perturbations data are being disseminated via modern formats including JSON, XML and KVN at <a href="https://newark192.amsat.org/gpdata/current/">https://newark192.amsat.org/gpdata/current/</a>. The reason this change is being made is that we are running out of 5-digit catalog numbers and the TLE format is not viable for satellites launched after July of this year. See <a href="https://celestrak.org/NORAD/documentation/gp-data-formats.php">https://celestrak.org/NORAD/documentation/gp-data-formats.php</a> for details.</p> <p>These data are presently considered in beta test for the next two months while hosted on the test server <a href="http://newark192.amsat.org">newark192.amsat.org</a>, and we are very open to community feedback at webmaster at <a href="http://amsat.org">amsat.org</a>. Testers may experience outages and errors while we make improvements. We intend to put this into production on our main web server in July as we expect that satellites launched after this summer will require one of the new formats to accommodate longer object numbers. AMSAT will continue to publish TLE bulletins for satellites launched before July 2026 indefinitely.</p> <p><em>[ANS thanks Joe Fitzgerald, KM1P, AMSAT Orbital Elements Manager, for the above information]</em></p> <hr> <h3 style="text-align:center">Buying from DX Engineering?</h3><h3 style="text-align:center">Add AMSATâsÂ <em>Getting Started With Amateur Satellites</em>Â to your order.</h3><h3 style="text-align:center"><a href="https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/amt-satellites"><img class="gmail-aligncenter gmail-wp-image-64418" src="https://www.amsat.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/DX_Engineering_AMSAT_Book_Hard_Copy_1200px_650px.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="325"></a></h3><h3 style="text-align:center"><br></h3><h3 style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:small">Available for $30 from DX Engineering (free shipping on most orders over $99)</span></h3><h3 style="text-align:center"><a href="https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/amt-satellites">https://www.dxengineering.com/parts/amt-satellites</a></h3> <hr> <h2>ARISS News</h2> <p>Amateurs and others around the world may listen in on contacts between amateurs operating in schools and allowing students to interact with astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station.
