HAM RADIO IN SPACE: ANOTHER ARISSAT-1 DELAY
The orbiting of ARISSat One has been delayed for a few weeks. Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, is in the newsroom with the latest details:
According to ARISSat One Project Manager Gould Smith, WA4SXM , the former Suit-Sat will not make an appearance in space until sometime in August.
In a news release, Smith said he and ARISS Hardware Engineer Lou McFadin, W5DID participated in a teleconference call this week with NASA to review the Roscosmos spacewalk procedures for the release of ARISSat One during E-V-A 29. For those who never heard the term before, E-V-A is an acronym for Extra Vehicular Activity and is NASA-ese for describing a spacewalk.
Smith now says the discussion centered on preparation procedures including the battery being charged and assembled into the satellite. Also discussed were the procedures to remove the protective quilts from the solar cells and turning on the safety switches prior to deployment.
During a later teleconference Sergey Samburov, RV3DR announced that the ARISSat One battery will be charged in late July and a test of the system will be conducted from the ISS from 1915 UTC July 30th to about 1200 or 1400 UTC July 31st. The standard ARISSat One 2 meter downlink band plan should be transmitted as well as the FM signal also downlinked on 437.55 MHz.
The ARRISSat One team believes that it is looking at an August 3rd date for actual deployment, but notes that this is all subject to change.
More information as it becomes available. For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, in the newsroom in Los Angeles.
