The EVE DEFCON talk is not the only update from @OpenResearchIns

ORI will present a full physical-to-application layer futureGEO #AMSAT design to the European Space Agency at Friedrichshafen this week.

This is a fully open source design, using modern methods and innovative solutions.

Far superior voice quality and no clunky second "packet mode" for data.

Thank you to everyone that has made this ambitious work possible and prototyped.

I had fun at the #Hamvention conference last week. I was too busy at the AMSAT Education table to post, but I was showing off the CubeSat Simulator and talking satellites. 🛰️📡📻

This video of me is actually from two years ago ago, but I just found it 😁

The CubeSatSim Lite is available again on the AMSAT Store!

This open source hardware and software project runs on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and transmits realistic satellite telemetry in the 70cm ham radio band.

I really enjoying developing this STEM educational project!

After a successful @ARISS_Intl contact with KJ5GEW, the radio team wanted to encourage our school champion to keep going on his ham radio journey. So we got him a copy of @kb6nu's No Nonsense Tech exam study guide! Also threw in a spare Baofeng tribander.

Since we all signed the book for him, he can't just give it away. Plus he has a deadline now. 😄

I finally released the v2.2 software for CubeSatSim, the AMSAT CubeSat Simulator. This release was way too much work. It had too many bug fixes and new features. I need to push releases more frequently, as testing took forever and I kept finding bugs.

I’m very happy with the release. Combined with having more CubeSatSim Lites available, it is an important step for the project!

What a blast to make contact with the ISS despite the historic medical evacuation of Crew 11 and snow and ice storms on either side of today.

Chris Williams was a total pro on his first school contact. He was enthusiastic and said it made him think about his own kids.

Lots of families in the audience were in tears at the end. 🥹 Thanks @ARISS_Intl !

@johnbrier K4EB’s final rotor and antenna calibration for tomorrow’s contact with medical physicist and NASA astronaut Chris Williams! Conn Elementary in Raleigh will have a direct scheduled contact via @ARISS_Intl With ice and snow storms on either side of us and Crew 11’s evacuation, this is the contact that almost didn’t happen twice!

Over the past month or so I've been working on a little side project to help me learn more about RTEMS, a real-time operating system used in many aerospace projects. To that end I've created a satellite ground station controller that runs on a BeagleBone Black SBC. I also designed an I/O "Cape" PCB for use with the BeagleBone Black. If you're curious, I invite you to check out the repo. Just remember that this isn't "production quality" by any means. https://github.com/vaelen/controller/ #amsat #satellite

For anyone that needs a hardware device to mock up a radio, antenna rotator, or GPS receiver, check out this project I wrote: https://github.com/vaelen/serial-device-emulator

I'm working on a groundstation controller and needed mock devices to talk to.
