After
a long period of deactivation in January 2010 the analog
transponder of FO-29 with a downlink transmit power
of 5W was switched back on. Excellent signals were reported
as demonstrated also in enclosed recording of a SSB
contact of SQ7DQX and PE0SAT. Recorded on January 29th
by Matt SQ7DQX. |
 On December 30th 2014
at 20:00 UTC Roland PY4ZBZ and Luciano PY5LF managed
to have a contact in CW via a cross-satellite link via
FO-29 and AO-7. PY5LF
transmitted on 432.150 MHz to AO-7 in CW mode. AO-7
retransmitted the CW signal on 145.950 MHz which was
received by FO-29. Finally FO-29 retransmitted the signal
on 435.850 MHz which was received by PY4ZBZ.Please
note that Doppler shift was minimum as the satellite
transponders are inversed and thus compensated nicely.Audio
recording and spectrogram screenshot kindly provided

UNAMSAT-B
#24305
(1996-052B) |
Mexico OSCAR
30 was a LEO (low earth orbit) satellite and a secondary
payload launched with COSMOS 2334 (Parus #86).
MO-30 was built by the Autonomous University of Mexico
(UNAM). This Cubesat had the size of 15x15x15cm and
a weight of 10.7kg. The successful launch followed the
unsuccessful launch and destruction of UNAMSAT-A in
1995..
It featured a store-and-forward PACSAT protocol
suite communication system. The uplink was 1200 bps
AFSK on 145.815 MHz, 145.835 MHz, 145.855 MHz ad 145.875
MHZ. The 1200bps BPSK downlink with a transmit power
of 200-300mW was on 437.206 MHz (with a secondary downlink
on 435.138 MHz). UNAMSAT-B operated for 46 days sending
telemetry. Due to a flaw in the receiver the satellite
did not receive ground commands which were necessary
to stabilize the satellite's orbit.
Enclosed
audio recording of MO-30 is from an unknown source. |

In memoriam
to the first man made satellite Sputnik-1, which was
successfully launched 40 years before, this little satellite
was launched by hand during an EVA (Extra Vehicular
walking in space) from the MIR space station. The RF
signal sounded like a beep-beep as the transmitter with
a power of 100 to 200 mW was keyed on/off. The RF carrier
on 145.820 MHz
was FM modulated and the frequency of the audio signal
varied with the temperature inside the satellite. Recorded
in FM on November 3rd 1997
12:45 UTC by IK1SLD. For confirming the reception by
a QSL card the award was given. |

The 2m
beacon signal was recorded by DK3WN on November 17th
2000 08:30 UTC when AO-40 was in a distance of 43000km. |
The UHF-SHF
transponder of AO-40 had an excellent performance. Enclosed
contact of W7LRD and VE2DWE was recorded on August 26th
2002 by VE2DWE. He used for the 435 MHz UHF uplink 5W
and a 40 element crossed yagi and for the L-band downlink
a BBQ grill antenna with an AIDC 3733 2.4 GHz downconverter.

AO40
transmitted its 400 bit/s beacon also on the 24 GHz
downlink. Note the spin fading due to the fact, that
both, the receive system and the 24 GHz transmitter,
used linearly polarized antennas. Received and kindly
provided by Michael OH2AUE. |
In this
recording you can hear the CW signal of DK1KQ on the
24 GHz downlink while he was using the L-band uplink.
Received and kindly provided by Michael OH2AUE. |
Michael
also copied DB6NT in SSB on the 24 GHz downlink while
he was using the L-band uplink. Recorded and kindly
provided by Michael OH2AUE. |
On May
7th 2002 the U/K-band transponder
was used by Charles G3DWG and Mike N1JEZ for the first
transatlantic QSO with a joint 24GHz downlink. Please
note the rather low doppler shift due to the fact that
they used the transponder while AO40 was at apogee (distance
was about 61000 km). The output power of the K-band
transmitter was estimated to have dropped to about 600-800mW.
Recorded and kindly provided by Mike N1JEZ. |
On February
23rd 2003 the S1/K-band transponder
was tested. In enclosed recording of the 24 GHz downlink
you can hear Charles G3DWG and Domenico I8CVS + testing
the SSB transponder. Charles was transmitting on the
U-band uplink while Domenico was transmitting on the
S1-band uplink at 2401 MHz (10 Watt into a 1.2m dish).
Recording kindly provided by Mike N1JEZ. |
This is
a contact between I8CVS +, IW1ERR and I5UXJ during orbit
867 and MA241 on September 20th
2002. Uplink was at 1268 MHz, downlink was at 2401 MHz
(Mode L/S). Recorded and audio file kindly provided
by Domenico I8CVS +. |
This are
another 2 contacts on August 31st 2002
in LS-Mode. The first is between Jon ZS6JON and Frans
PA3CQE, the second is between Jon JS6JON and Rob PE1ITR.
The contacts were recorded by Frans PA3CQE. Audio file
kindly provided by Rob PE1ITR. |
Her are some very special
goodies. They were not recorded while AO40 was in orbit
but during the various integration tests and the final
prelaunch tests in Kourou.
The first
audio file is a test of the LEILA function in CW conducted
by OH2AUE during pre-launch tests.
The second
audio file is a test of the LEILA function in SSB conducted
also by OH2AUE in Kourou.
The third
audio file was a test of the built in microphone of
AO40 by DB2OS (tapping the support frame).
The forth
audio file was another test of the micro. You can hear
Peter DB2OS "talking to the bird".
The fifth
audio file was a test of the microphone already done
during one of the integration tests in Florida. All
three momentum wheels have achieved synch to the programmed
test values. Analyzing the audio spectrum with a PC
FFT program you can see the frequencies and thus calculate
the rotation speed of the wheels directly.
The sixth
audio file is the 400bd PSK beacon recorded during thermal
vacuum tests in Virginia.
 The seventh
audio file is also the 400bd PSK beacon received on
70cm band during tests on June 26th
1999. If you decode this file with the AO40RCV freeware
then you can decode 4 blocks of data which I enclose
also a s a text file.
This
is the last special from AO-40. You can decode this
audio file with the P3T software. The result is great
fun as you can see from the telemetry that all RF transmitters
are turned OFF, only the IR laser is turned ON. This
was probably the only time that the IR laser was ever
actually received and demodulated + decoded. The laser
was never tested in space. Michael OH2AUE made this
recording during the launch preparation and final tests
in Kourou.
All these recordings were kindly
provided by Michael Fletcher OH2AUE. |

Unfortunately
the satellite was operational only for 5 orbits and
then shut down due to a lack of power. The 9600bd packets
transmitted every 18 seconds were recorded on October
27th 2007 at 09:13 UTC on 437.250
MHz in FM by Ian Ashley ZL1AOX. Besides you can also
read the decoded data of this transmission. |
This
is a recording of the "safe mode" pulse beacon.
This came on when the battery volts fell too low for
the main system to operate and was heard by a number
of amateurs. Recording kindly provided by Graham G3VZV. |
The enclosed
audio file is a test of SSETI Express in the "UHF-S
Band FM voice transponder" mode. It was performed
at ESA ESTEC facilities during integration and test
of the satellite sub systems. The test was performed
on February 23rd 2005 at 22:31
UTC by Graham Shirville PA0/G3VZV. Many thanks to Graham
