  1. #hamradio Quick File Broadcasting Protocol (HQFBP) - Comment réinventer la roue ...mais en se couchant moins bête !

    youtu.be/K_YJYPONgYk?is=GECM_R

    Ma présentation aux journées #radioamateur spatiales de l' #amsat francophone #amsatF sur le sujet des protocoles radio. Ce sera une des bases à expérimenter sur notre payload #satellite #FOSM1 mais aussi sur terre pour des réseaux #DTN.

  2. I finally have the Yaesu rotator and the Yagi antennas up on the roof. Now satellite radio operations can begin.

  5. 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.

  6. 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 😁

    Porbably #Mir cuz I had no idea what i was doing, and here was not much help back then.

  8. Question of the Day - #amateurradio

    Satellite ops — what's the coolest pass you've ever worked?

  9. 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!

  11. Weekend projects. Setting up a small 76cm dish for easier portable use (than my 1.2m behemoth). Alignment on a Ku band geostationary satellite beacon (Galaxy 18), and now working on a printed bracket for the W1GHZ 10/24 GHz feed horn.

  13. 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!

  14. 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 !

  15. @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!

Sieh einer an ... die deutsche Satelliten-Amateurfunk-Organisation #AMSAT-DL - die sich der 20-Meter-Schüssel der #SternwarteBochum bedient - ist (neben 33 anderen Organisationen) offizieller Partner der NASA bei der Verfolgung von #ArtemisII auf dem Flug zum und um den Mond herum geworden: nasa.gov/technology/space-comm

  17. 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. github.com/vaelen/controller/ #amsat #satellite
