SO-50 SAUDISAT-1C
Catalog number: 27607
Launched: December 20, 2002
Status: Operational.
Uplink: 145.850 MHz (67.0 Hz PL tone) (See below for operating
procedures)
Downlink: 436.795 MHz
Mode and Antenna Polarization:
V: Linear
U: Linear
Official Webpage: http://saudisat.kacst.edu.sa/index.shtml
(not up and running currently)
There have been unconfirmed reports on the amsat-bb remailer that SO-50
has
shifted downlink frequency as much as 5khz up. This both from Europe.
To switch the transmitter on, you need to send a CTCSS tone of 74.4 Hz.
The
order of operation is thus: (allow for Doppler as necessary)
1) Transmit on 145.850 MHz with a tone of 74.4 Hz to arm the 10 minute
timer
on board the spacecraft.
2) Now transmit on 145.850 MHz (FM Voice) using 67.0 Hz to PT the
repeater
on and off within the 10 Minute window.
3) Sending the 74.4 tone again within the 10 minute window will reset
the 10
minute timer.

This from Emily, N1DID:
AO-7 is Operational
As of 15 March 2006 AO-7 entered eclipse on the ascending node of it's
orbit
for a short period of time and will turn off during that period, but
other-
wise remains operational providing stations observe QRP power levels. It
is
difficult to tell if the 24 hour timer will be reset or if there is
enough
energy to keep it running during the short periods of eclipse AO-7
experiences for the next few weeks. We should know in a few days by
observing
the modes reported on each orbit.
Please keep your power low! For additional information please read the
AO-7 Usage Guidelines on the AO-7 Log and Resource Site located at:

PCSAT2 will remain with a 2m downlink on 145.825 until the next school
con-
tact on the 28th. From now till then, it will also keep its 10m PSK-31
to
435.275 FM transponder enabled for anyone to experiment with using
either CW
or PSK.
Just use one rig to CONNECT to PCSAT2 on 145.825 to turn on the
transponder
and use your 10m CW or PSK rig to TX and your UHF FM receiver to listen.

AO-16 AMSAT Webpage: http://www.amsat.org/amsat/sats/n7hpr/ao16.html
This from Paul Williamson,KB5MU:
There has been no loss of command function on AO-16.
The BBS is down because of localized memory failures in the mass memory
used
for message (file) storage, caused presumably by radiation. It would be
poss-
ible to modify the on-board BBS software to work around these memory
failures
and the command team did request that this be done, but it has not been
aggressively followed up due to the apparent lack of interest in 1200
bps
capabilities.
The S-band beacon isn't broken to the best of my knowledge, it's just
turned
off. The power budget doesn't allow the S-band beacon to be run
continuously
without reducing the main downlink to flea power. I can't explain
VK5DG's
observation of telemetry indicating 700mw of output from the S-band
trans-
mitter, but perhaps someone who has paid more attention to the telemetry
could explain it.
There hasn't been much communication within the AO-16 command team in a
long
time, since the satellite is pretty much self-sufficient in its current
mode
and we haven't been working on any projects to change things. At least a
few
of us are still standing by in case anything comes up.

This from Clive, G3CWV:
OSCAR-11 REPORT
27 March 2006
On 01 March OSCAR-11 achieved 22 years in orbit, and inspite of numerous
problems, it still continues to transmit good signals.
During the period 14 February to 26 March 2006 the VHF beacon on
145.826 MHz
has been heard from 22 February to 04 March, and from 14 to 24 March.
Signals have been very consistent and excellent copy has been obtained
on all
passes received. If the current mode of operation continues, the beacon
should switch ON around 04 April 2006.
The on-board clock continues to show a very large accumulated error. On
24
March it was 22.14308 days slow. However, the clock is now very stable.
During the last month it gained 2.5 seconds, which is approximately half
the
monthly gain, observed when the satellite was fully operational! The
observa-
tions of clock errors suggest that the clock may slow or stop when the
bat-
tery voltage is low.
All the analogue telemetry channels, 0 to 59 are zero, ie they have
failed.
The status channels 60 to 67 are still working.
The satellite is now in continuous sunlight until around 06 May, when
eclipses will start again. This should help the satellite to continue
trans-
mitting, although continuous sunlight can cause problems due to
excessive
temperatures. Power supply problems can be caused by poor pointing
attitude,
ie the sunlight illuminating the ends of the satellite, instead of the
solar
arrays.
The watchdog timer now appears to have resumed operation on the 20 day
cycle.
During the last two months the ON/OFF times have been very consistent,
and
many observations show this to be 20.7 days, ie. 10.3 days ON followed
by
10.4 days OFF. However, at any time, poor solar attitude, and battery
pro-
blems, may result in a low 14 volt line supply, which may cause the
beacon to
switch OFF prematurely, and reset the watchdog timer cycle.
I am indebted to Bob G4VRC, Gustavo LW2DTZ, Mike DK3WN, John K7RQN and
John
G4PWG for their reception reports. All have reported good signals from
the
VHF beacon. Many thanks for those reports.
The Beacon frequencies are -
VHF 145.826 MHz. AFSK FM ASCII Telemetry
UHF 435.025 MHz. OFF
S-band 2401.5 MHz. OFF
Listeners to OSCAR-11 may be interested in visiting my website which
contains
an archive of news & telemetry data. It also contains details about
using a
soundcard or hardware demodulators for data capture. There is software
for
capturing data, and decoding ASCII telemetry. The URL is:
