Official Statement of the AMSAT-DL BoD About P3E & P5

Dear All,

The following News will appear as an Editorial in our up-coming AMSAT-DL Journal

Because of the importance of the contents the AMSAT-DL BOD and Pro- ject Leaders decided to give this information to all team members who are currently or who were directly or indirectly involved in the past We want to make sure that our members get it from us and not from any rumours on the net Thanks

While the decision of DLR is hitting us hard, this is not yet the end I recently had some interesting meetings in China and if we can't do Rocket Science in DL, we have to look for other countries

But please read below We hope you will support us also in future and if you want to re-join, you are also much welcome AMSAT needs YOU!! If we missed someone from the members, please forward this e-mail

Best wishes Peter DB2OS Hartmut DL1YDD Michael DD5ER

DLR rejects P5-/Mascot-2 project

Dear Members and Friends of AMSAT-DL, discussions with the German Ministry of Economics and the German space agency DLR spanned more than 5 years Amongst others, we met with State Secretary for Space and Aerospace Hinze, DLR chairman Prof Wörner and the DLR Program Board In 2009 AMSAT-DL, in collaboration with the DLR Institute for Space Systems in Bremen, conducted two complex Concurrent Engin- eering studies

They were jointly presented to the DLR program board in Köln-Porz in 2010

The final documentation confirmed the feasibility of the P5 project, both to the Moon and to Mars

In October and November 2011 another two P5 meetings with DLR chair- man Prof Wörner, Ministry MinDirig Engelhard, representatives of DLR IRS Bremen and AMSAT-DL BOD took place Topics were feasibility and financing model

It turned out that the ministry had a different perception of the (DLR-) payloads

DLR was asked to reconsider their payloads Both AMSAT-DL BOD and IRS Bremen left the meetings with positive feelings

Then it turned out that, since completion of the 2009 joint study, the P5 scientific appeal is apparently no longer attractive There- fore it was jointly searched for modifications to regain a payload appeal that was attested in 2009 AMSAT-DL proposed landing part of the payload on Mars moon Deimos or Phobos Our calculations show- ed that this is feasible with reasonable effort The landing would be a particularly unique feature of the P5 mission

After repeated enquiries we received a letter from DLR at end of June where they stated that "the DLR Program Board comes to the conclusion, that pursuit of the P5 idea is infeasible and also financially infeasible "

We repeatedly approached the DLR Program Board since then The asser- tion was that any P5 mission will not fly with DLR: the scientific attraction was, compared with the current Mars missions, insufficient

The primary reason for this is that the P5 MARS orbit is limited due to the low-cost character of the mission From this orbit no attractive science is possible Obviously our P5 mission is now compared with regular missions which cost hundreds of millions of Euro

This rejection has a wide impact on AMSAT-DL Activities of all involved persons, including in the P3-E project, was shaped for years by the P5 mission

It was assumed that P3-E was to be launched as part of the P5 mis- sion This path is obstructed now

We maintain our contacts with the various launching agencies able to launch P3-E into an appropriate orbit The tremendous launching costs kept us from more concrete talks so far Just recently good contact with AMSAT China (CAMSAT) was established China has suit- able launchers to bring payloads into GTO Moreover, China has dis- covered that amateur radio is a means of motivating young people to technical university studies

Furthermore we are very actively exploiting a potential shared ride of an amateur radio payload on a new geostationary satellite We have already submitted a formal project proposal The satellite will be visible from Europe

No antenna tracking will be necessary The big advantage of this project is that due to the operational requirements of the primary payload, our launching and commissioning is tied to the not too far future

The 20m dish antenna at Bochum observatory was originally refurbish- ed and upgraded for the P5 mission and is presently used for Deep Space Mission and amateur radio purposes The automatic reception of the STEREO probes and data transfer to NASA will continue In collaboration with NASA and AMSAT-DL the modulation scheme will be changed to use Turbo coding Both hardware and software is currently being designed by AMSAT-DL and will be used by the partner STEREO receiving stations worldwide Our funding application is already approved The project funding runs until the end of 2015

The AMSAT-DL Marburg Lab will be preserved at least in medium term to be able to do work on P3-E and, should the situation arise, on the transponder of the mentioned geostationary satellite

We pursue a near-term meeting with all P5 project team members to identify ways for a project continuation The necessary procedures should be coordinated then

Although we regret the DLR refusal of the P5 project (particularly because some DLR payload will not fly in any foreseeable time frame), and although it places serious challenges to AMSAT-DL, this is not the cancellation of a HEO amateur radio satellite We will aggress- ively follow up all potential possibilities We hope to be able to report positively at the AMSAT-DL AGM in autumn

Since the Marburg University's withdrawal from the ZEL, the surround- ing conditions have changed significantly, again However, we will do everything we can do to get an amateur satellite launched into HEO

We do trust in our volunteers and members

Dedicated University CubeSat Downlinks on the Table for ITU WRC-18

IARU Secretary Rod Stafford, W6ROD, reports that the IARU Adminis- trative Council will meet in the next 45 days to address the agenda items for the 2015 World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-15)

Planning for the dedicated spectrum for university research cubesats will begin for WRC-15 but the actual allocation of frequencies may not occur until the 2018 World Radiocommunication Conference

In an article posted on the ARRL web, Stafford noted, A lot of radio amateurs are aware of the increasing use of amateur spectrum by small satellites, mainly by universities It is becoming an increasingly difficult situation to accommodate the number of small, non-commercial satellites within the amateur bands These education-based satellites do not really fit within the definition of the Amateur Radio Service, but have been accommodated there These small satellites are categor- ized as nanosatellites (weighing between 1-10 kg) and picosatellites (weighing less than 1 kg) The ITU is trying to deal with this issue in an orderly manner and a preliminary WRC-18 agenda item is to con- sider whether these satellite operations can be accommodated in an already crowded radio spectrum As these issues develop, the IARU will keep its Member-Societies, such as the ARRL, aware of developments with an eye to building the best strategy to deal with those agenda items in a way that is most favorable to the Amateur Radio Service "

NASA Offers Opportunity to Use Communications Testbed on ISS

The SCAN testbed is a communications, navigation and networking demonstration platform based on the STRS The experimental platform began its initial checkout activities on the space station August 13 and will operate for as long as three years

NASA is announcing opportunities for academia, industry and govern- ment agencies to develop and carry out research and technology demon- strations on the International Space Station using the newly install- ed Space Communications and Navigation (SCAN) testbed

There are two announcements of opportunity The SCAN Testbed Experi- ment Opportunity invites industry and other government agencies to enter into Space Act Agreements with NASA to use the space station's SCAN platform

The SCAN Testbed Cooperative Agreement Notice invites academia to develop proposals to use the orbiting laboratory's SCAN testbed re- search capabilities NASA expects the first demonstrations by late 2013 or early 2014

These opportunities will allow researchers to develop new software according to the Space Telecommunications Radio Standard (STRS) arch- itecture for radios and reconfigure how radios communicate in space

Experiments will provide waveforms and software components to the STRS waveform repository and enable future hardware platforms to use common reusable software modules These new capabilities could enable greater scientific return from future NASA missions
