AMSAT Mail Alias Service to End â FINAL NOTICE!
A long-standing member service, the AMSAT Mail Alias Service was
scheduled to end on August 31, 2024, but a day or two of grace period
has been added.
Members should understand that the email alias service, the news and
bulletin board subscription lists and the membership portal are three
separate systems.
Persons using the Mail Alias Service should immediately
migrate to a different email account so they do not lose receipt of
personal emails. Notify your friends and business accounts of the
change.
Persons wishing to continue to receive AMSAT News Service
Weekly Bulletins and AMSAT-BB posts or official messages from AMSAT
itself should update their subscription addresses at https://mailman.amsat.org/
Members are especially asked to make sure they are NOT using a callsign@amsat.org
as their registered email address in the AMSAT membership portal.
Members can easily change their registered member email address by
logging into the portal and updating their profile at https://mailman.amsat.org/.
A mail alias on AMSAT.ORG permitted people to send an email to
members without knowing their actual internet email address. They just
needed to know their amateur radio callsign.
Unfortunately, the unchecked rise in domain name hacking and email
account high-jacking has made it impossible to sustain this service at a
cost-effective level. The number of callsign@amsat.org email accounts
that had been hijacked and converted to zombie spam accounts over the
years had led many internet service providers and gateway centers to ban
all @amsat.org email addresses, including those business accounts of
AMSAT officers and officials. The tireless efforts of AMSATâs all
volunteer IT staff has worked for years to repair much of the damage,
but AMSAT still get complaints from members who are not getting their
personal emails, ANS bulletins or AMSAT-BB posts because of persistent
delivery problems.
It has come to the point where the AMSAT volunteer IT staff can no
longer keep up with the maintenance requirements to keep the alias mail
list clean and to work with email gateways to remove blocks. And, after
considerable investigation into alternative paid email services, AMSAT
leadership decided that the money required to keep an email alias system
alive would be better spent on building and flying satellites for its
members.

Japanese Company Takes First Step Toward Removing Space Junk
There are more than 2,000 mostly intact dead rockets circling the
Earth, but until this year, no one ever launched a satellite to go see
what one looked like after many years of tumbling around the planet.
In February, a Japanese company named Astroscale sent a small
satellite into low-Earth orbit on top of a Rocket Lab launcher. A couple
of months later, Astroscaleâs ADRAS-J (Active Debris Removal by
Astroscale-Japan) spacecraft completed its pursuit of a Japanese rocket
stuck in orbit for more than 15 years.
ADRAS-J photographed the upper stage of an H-IIA rocket from a range
of several hundred meters and then backed away. This was the first
publicly released image of space debris captured from another spacecraft
using rendezvous and proximity operations.

Since then, Astroscale has pulled off more complex maneuvers around
the H-IIA upper stage, which hasnât been controlled since it deployed a
Japanese climate research satellite in January 2009. Astroscale
attempted to complete a 360-degree fly-around of the H-IIA rocket last
month, but the spacecraft triggered an autonomous abort one-third
through the maneuver after detecting an attitude anomaly.
ADRAS-J is the first mission to approach a piece of space debris,
which comes with more challenges. The H-IIA upper stage lacks laser
reflectors and targeting aids that would help an approaching spacecraft
navigate its way closer.
A few years ago, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)
cinched a public-private partnership with Astroscale to demonstrate
technologies the private sector could use to remove large pieces of
space debris littering low-Earth orbit. The same robotic technologies
could also apply to satellite servicing or refueling missions.
With more financial assistance from JAXA, Astroscale is developing a
follow-on mission called ADRAS-J2 to dock with the same H-IIA rocket
visited by the ongoing mission, then steer it on a trajectory to reenter
the atmosphere. Astroscale hopes a successful demonstration of this
capability on the ADRAS-J2 mission will lead to more contracts from
commercial or government operators to remote large pieces of space junk
from orbit.
An H-IIA upper stage similar to the one visited by Astroscaleâs demo
mission broke apart in 2019, creating more than 70 new debris fragments
in low-Earth orbit. A predicted close flyby by one of the pieces from
the H-IIA upper stage prompted the International Space Station to fire
its engines to move out of its path in 2020.

Halibut Electronics Releases New EggNOGS Kit for Satellite Antennas
Halibut Electronics has announced the release of its latest product,
the EggNOGS kit, designed to facilitate the construction of Egg Beater
antennas. This kit is aimed at amateur radio enthusiasts and satellite
operators who wish to enhance their communication capabilities,
particularly with the SatNOGS network. Priced at $79.00, EggNOGS is
available for purchase through Halibut Electronicsâ website at https://electronics.halibut.com/product/eggnogs/.
The EggNOGS kit is engineered to address the complexity of building
Egg Beater antennas, which are known for their use in satellite
communications. The kit includes a range of specialized components that
are not typically available at local hardware stores. These components
feature a band-specific phasing board that creates a 90-degree phase
shift, a critical element in the construction of effective
quadrature-fed antennas.

Currently, the EggNOGS kit supports several frequency bands:
137.5MHz, 145.9MHz, 388.0MHz, 401.0MHz, and 436.5MHz. However, due to
high demand, the kits for the 137.5MHz and 145.9MHz bands are
temporarily out of stock and are expected to be back in inventory by
August 28th. Customers can place back orders for these bands in the
interim.
The EggNOGS kit is designed to be versatile, compatible with various
types of quadrature-fed antennas beyond just Egg Beaters. It can be used
with turnstiles, helicals, and other balanced VHF/UHF antennas.
Additionally, it works with any radio system, including low-power
transmitters, making it a flexible option for a range of communication
needs.

The kit includes essential parts such as circuit boards for signal
routing and phasing, a common mode current choke, and stainless steel
mounting hardware. Builders will need to source additional materials,
such as a section of PVC pipe and materials for the aerial loops and
ground plane, from local hardware stores. The default feed point
connector is SMA, but there is an option to upgrade to BNC or Type-F
connectors.
The EggNOGS kit is capable of handling moderate transmit power, with
the upper limit still being determined but expected to range between 15W
and 50W. The kit is confirmed to handle up to 10W without issues.
Halibut Electronics invites feedback from users who may need phasing
boards for additional frequencies not currently offered, with the
possibility of expanding the product line based on customer demand.

UNNE-1 and MARIA-G Launch Delayed Until 2025
Due to the significant damage to the RFAâs One launcher stage during
the static firing test at SaxaVordâs spaceport in the Shetland Islands,
Scotland (UK) on August 19th, AMSAT-EAâs UNNE-1 and MARIA-G satellites
launch will be delayed.
They were originally planned for launch on September 30th, and now it is not expected before 2025. Video of the BBCâs coverage of the
incident is available here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgEn6-8ekJQ
UNNE-1 and MARIA-G are both based on the currently orbiting HADES-D
(SO-121) hardware, providing a repeater service for voice and data
communications in FM and FSK-derived modes. They have been designed and
built by AMSAT-EA together with private sector companies and with the
collaboration of Universities and educational centres.
Both satellites will offer licensed radio amateurs around the world
the opportunity to make FM and FSK QSOs, including FT modes, such as
FT-4 and FT-8, or AX.25/APRS. The satellites will also transmit
telemetry with their status, voice messages and CW.
UNNE-1 includes an Arduino-based board with software from Nebrija
University of Madrid. The students have developed a small decoding game
with a space story as a background. The satellite sends a clue each week
in its FSK telemetry so that radio amateurs can solve the challenge.
This game will be detailed on the AMSAT EA website and on the Nebrija
University one.
MARIA-G also includes two CW reception games/challenges implemented
by students from the MarÃa Guerrero high school in Collado Villalba,
also from the region of Madrid.
One of the games consists of receiving the coordinates of a
significant place on Earth (for example a city, a monumentâ¦) and the
other about receiving a code that will correspond to a question about
Science. Both games will have a dedicated web page.
MARIA-G also includes a small experiment, developed by the
Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft research center in Germany. It consists of a
proof of concept for the transmission of a TS-UNB waveform from a low
Earth orbit. Therefore, it will transmit a TS-UNB message according to
the ETSI-TS-103-357 standard. It is intended solely as a research and
development project with no commercial intention.
The ITU modulation classification would be 100K W2DWW but the
bandwidth will be reduced. The operation of this experiment will be
carried out by AMSAT-EA.
The UNNE-1 and MARIA-G satellites are part of the Erminaz mission, a
joint effort of AMSAT-DL, AMSAT-EA and LibreSpace Foundation, each
organization flying its own satellites and using LibreSpaceâs PicoBus
deployer.
The mission management with the German Space Agency (DLR) and the
launcher (RFA), as well as with the UK authorities, has been carried out
jointly, with AMSAT DL leading it.

Paul D. Graveline, K1YUB, Silent Key
With heavy hearts, AMSAT and The AMSAT Journal mourn the passing of
Journal assistant editor, Paul D. Graveline, K1YUB, on August 19, 2024.
Paul served as an assistant editor for the past seven years, starting
with the July/August 2017 issue. In addition to his editing and
authoring contributions to the Journal, Paul also served as an active
member of the CubeSatSim Educational Materials Team for AMSATâs
Educational Relations program.
Here is how Paul described his ham radio exploits:
âLike many future hams in the 1960s, I became interested in radio by
listening to shortwave stations on my grandfatherâs old huge Philco
radio.
âIn 1960, I got a Hallicrafters S120 short wave receiver for
Christmas, and I was hooked. A year later, K1DEN got me interested in
ham radio. I was issued KN1YUB as a novice, and in 1963, I upgraded to
General and K1YUB, which I still use today. Most of my ham operating has
been using CW.
âBy 1973, I passed my Advanced and Extra which required 20 wpm skills.
âIn the 1980s, I worked and taught Novice and General license courses
at Tufts Radio in Medford, MA. My time at Tufts included numerous ham
conventions from Denver to Clearwater.
âAlong with K1TW, I helped reestablish the shortwave focused Boston
Area DXers which met on the third Friday of every month. Nearly 35 years
later, we still do!
âMore recently, I have been spending time in activities to support ham radio.
âFor a number of years, Iâve been an Assistant Editor for The AMSAT
Journal as well as being engaged, along with KU2Y, KD2XS , KK6NOW and
WD6DRI, on an AMSAT project developing the CubeSat Simulator as a
learning tool.
âI began following the space weather bulletins from Dr. Tamitha Skov,
WX6SWW, better known as âThe Space Weather Woman,â a few years back and
now am a member of her steering committee, as well as being the
Coordinator for her new Super Community project with the objective of
sharing space weather knowledge across stakeholder communities like
Aurora Chasers and Ham Radio operators. I did a cover story of Dr. Skov
in The AMSAT Journal.â
Paulâs good humor, dedication, enthusiasm and many contributions to
AMSAT and the larger amateur radio community will be greatly missed.

Changes to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution
Two Line Elements or TLEs, often referred to as Keplerian elements or
keps in the amateur community, are the inputs to the SGP4 standard
mathematical model of spacecraft orbits used by most amateur tracking
programs. 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 https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/.
No changes have been announced for this week.

The crossband repeater continues to be active (145.990 MHz up {PL 67}
& 437.800 MHz down). If any crewmember is so inclined, all they
have to do is pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on
the crossband repeater. So give a listen, you just never know.
The packet system is also active (145.825 MHz up & down).
The HamTV system (2395 MHz down), and the SSTV system (145.800 MHz down) are both currently STOWED and not in operation.
As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios are turned off as part of the safety protocol.
Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your
own orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the
listed time.

Satellite Shorts From All Over
+ The FUNcube Data Warehouse will be going off line on Saturday,
August 31, as it transitions to a new server. The service may be down
for about three days as the team has to migrate the large amount of data
collected over 11 years and ensure that the service is running
correctly. The dashboards will catch up if they are left connected, once
the service comes on line. The team will probably turn on the
collection service before the UI so that there is not to much data loss.
(ANS thanks Dave Johnson, G4DPZ, of the FUNcube Team for the above

+ NASA will return Boeingâs Starliner to Earth without astronauts
Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, KD5PLB, aboard the spacecraft, the
agency announced last week. The uncrewed return allows NASA and Boeing
to continue gathering testing data on Starliner during its upcoming
flight home, while also not accepting more risk than necessary for its
crew. Wilmore and Williams, who flew to the International Space Station
in June aboard NASAâs Boeing Crew Flight Test, have been busy supporting
station research, maintenance, and Starliner system testing and data
analysis, among other activities. They will continue their work formally
as part of the Expedition 71/72 crew through February 2025, and will
fly home aboard a Dragon spacecraft with two other crew members assigned
to the agencyâs SpaceX Crew-9 mission. Starliner is expected to depart
from the space station and make a safe, controlled autonomous re-entry
and landing in early September. (ANS thanks NASA for the above
information.)
+ NASA astronaut Nick Hague, KG5TMV, and Roscosmos cosmonaut
Aleksandr Gorbunov will launch no earlier than Tuesday, Sept. 24, on the
agencyâs SpaceX Crew-9 mission to the International Space Station. NASA
astronauts Zena Cardman, KJ5CMN, and Stephanie Wilson, KD5DZE,
previously announced as crewmates, are eligible for reassignment on a
future mission. The updated crew complement follows NASAâs decision to
return the agencyâs Boeing Crew Flight Test uncrewed and launch Crew-9
with two unoccupied seats. NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni
Williams, KD5PLB, who launched aboard the Starliner spacecraft in June,
will fly home with Hague and Gorbunov in February 2025. (ANS thanks NASA
for the above information.)
+ The U.S. National Science Foundation National Radio Astronomy
Observatory (NSF NRAO), and its administrator Associated Universities,
Inc. (AUI), have created SuperKnova, an online educational platform that
provides inclusive, equitable access to radio technology learning and
training. Thanks to a generous grant from Amateur Radio Digital
Communications (ARDC), learners can now enroll in two self-paced courses
to learn the fundamentals of radio communications. The Technician
Amateur Radio License and EMS Course introduces learners to the
electromagnetic spectrum using amateur (ham) radio as a vehicle. (ANS
