RS01S ARISSat-1 Amateur Radio Satellite UPDATE 13NOV11

ARISSat-1/KEDR Deployed on August 3, 2011 from the International Space Station (ISS).

The fun combining Amateur Radio and Space continues. ARISSat-1/KEDR is still going strong and is very easy to listen to with a scanner or 2m amateur (HAM) radio and a simple antenna. Tune your radios / scanners to 145.950 and listen into the signal from ARISSat-1. Listen closely for the satellite Call Sign and Secret Word. Download SSTV images (Slow Scan TV) and digital telemetry. Post your signal reports to the links below.

The mission of ARISSat-1/KEDR was specifically designed as an education-based satellite built by amateur radio operators to specifically interest students in scientific and technological careers. The ARISSat broadcast features include voice a identification, voice, digital and morse code telemetry, stored image and on-board camera transmissions via Slow Scan TV (SSTV Robot-36 format) and digital telemetry from a Russian science experiment.

ARISSat-1/KEDR RECEPTION REPORT CERTIFICATES

When you receive the downlink signal from ARISSat-1/KEDR you are invited to send your report to the following e-mail boxes. You will receive a PDF certificate by e-mail. Students and school groups are especially welcome! We look forward to your report!

Your report must contain the following information:
1) The signal you received:
a) the secret word*,
b) an SSTV image, or,
c) telemetry data

2) Your name or group name

3) The date/time of reception

4) Your e-mail address of where to send your certificate. You will receive a PDF certificate via email.

Here are the e-mail boxes to send your reports:
Secret word* contest to: secretword@arissat1.org
SSTV image to: sstvreport@arissat1.org
Telemetry data to: tlmreport@arissat1.org
(either digital or voice report of the data you received)

Received BPSK telemetry and .CSV files should continue to be sent to: telemetry@arissattlm.org.

* Those who do hear the secret word or call sign please do not put it out to the world. That would ruin the contest for those still waiting for their station to be in range.

Cool stuff David. You are really showing us your enthusiasm in clips like this. Thanks for taking the time to share as always!

[USNERDOC]

@hinckleypoland - Thanks! As always, I greatly appreciate your comments and support ;-)

This was so cool! *****

[USNERDOC]

@ristin59 - Thank you sir! I am such a little kid . . . it is a thrill to hear the radio crackle with a signal from outer space from an object some 200 miles above earth traveling approximately 17,000 mph. 73!

I picked it up on my scanner.

Cool video USNERDOC. My wife and I are working on being more prepared for natural disasters, economic and social issues as we raise our three young boys in these interesting times.

One thing we are considering is communications between family members and the outside world. We may even move to another country.

It would be interesting to see how you can use this technology to stay in touch, use for emergency to help friends and neighbors or get information. Short vids would be cool.

Very cool to see you exploring every bandwidth out there : ) Thanks for sharing

Love that iPortable rack mount system. I may have to get one...

[wcgems]

I was like a little kid when I got my certificate from them. I need to try to receive the SSTV signal more often as I have seen some really impressive images from others. - WV8KFA, Robert
