Subject: Anik Satellite Troubles
To: ham-space@ucsd.edu
Latest news on the Anik sat. from Ottawa local news is that the problem
has been narrowed down to the bird rotating about it's n/s axis once every 2
minutes. The good folks at telsat report that they believe it's possible to
stop the motion and keep the ant. pointed at earth by ground controlled
firing of the onboard hydrazine rockets. In the event this works it will allow
a return to revenue service in about 6 months. I understand this is a massive
software task and the knowledge gained is expected to generate a large cash-
flow in the future in the event of a similar failure of someone else's bird.
The down side of this is that the life expectancy of this relatively new
satellite has just gone from 9 to 6 years. On the bright side the Canadian
amateur radio country wide uhf link "I.P.A.R.N." has had it's anik channel
moved to Anik-2 in only 5 working days, a fine job and many thanks from the
Canadian hams.
Hope this is news

STS-60 News as of 3 February 1994 at 12:30 UTC
The Space Shuttle Discovery made a spectacular, historic, on-time liftoff
this morning from the Kennedy Space Center. Discovery's launch marks the
first joint U.S.-Russian Space Shuttle Flight. This will be the first of
several joint missions planned in preparation for the development of the
international Space Station. Cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev, U5MIR, was one
of the six crew members on board this morning's Shuttle flight. His
fellow American crew mates include Commander Charlie Bolden, KE4IQB,
Pilot Ken Reightler, and Mission Specialists Jan Davis, Ron Sega, KC5ETH,
and Franklin Chang-Diaz. The primary payloads on-board Discovery are the
Wake Shield Facility, which will be deployed and retrieved during the
flight and the Spacehab facility. Of particular interest to radio
amateurs is the Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment (SAREX) secondary
payload. SAREX information for STS-60 including frequencies, callsigns
and Keplerian elements, follows:

SAREX Begins Operation
SAREX was officially activated at 14:27 UTC on February 4 with a
successful voice contact through the University of Surrey amateur radio
station. Doug Loughmiller, G0SYX was the operator at the microphone to
intitate the first contact with the STS-60 crew.
The SAREX team reports a highly successful direct contact one orbit
later with a school group in Boise Idaho. The contact, held at the
Discovery Center included students from several schools including the
Boise Senior High School. 19 students were able to ask direct questions
to Shuttle Commander Charlie Bolden.
The packet robot has also been quite active. The packet QSO sequence
number exceeded the 800 mark about 30 hours after SAREX operations was
initiated.
Problems with RFI on the Wake Shield Facility have delayed the
deployment of this primary payload. This has affected the SAREX payload
somewhat. Currently, the Mars, Pennsylvania school contact, which was
scheduled for today, has been postponed until the Wake Shield issues
have been resolved.
The official SAREX element set for today will be GSFC-003. Gil Carman,
WA5NOM reports that the predictions using GSFC-003 are 1 second later
than the current orbiter state vector.

OSCAR-21 CELEBRATES THIRD BIRTHDAY
On 29 January 1991 the first international Orbiting Satellite Carrying
Amateur Radio (OSCAR) in which radio amateurs from the former
Soviet Union (CIS) worked together with radio amateurs from
Germany was successfully launched.
The official name of the project was RM1, which stands for "RADIO M-1".
The digital transponder RUDAK-2 is part of RM1.
After the launch from the Northern Cosmodrome in Plesetsk, Russia
the satellite was named as AMSAT-OSCAR 21, to emphasize that the
spacecraft was built by, and for, Radio Amateurs around the world.
AMSAT OSCAR-21 is an attached secondary payload (Piggy-back) aboard
the CIS geological research satellite "INFORMATOR-1".
OSCAR-21 (also known as RS-14) is a joint project between AMSAT-U
in Russia and AMSAT-DL in Germany.
Two UUENCODED files which show the RUDAK hardware and two pictures taken from
an original launch video have been uploaded to AMSAT-BB by DB2OS. The picture
is compressed using CJPEG.
ANS thanks Peter Guelzow DB2OS for this item.

AO-13 ZRO TEST SCHEDULES!

AO-13 ZRO Tests Begin For '94
AMSAT-OSCAR-13
ZRO TEST SCHEDULE
FEBRUARY-MARCH 1994
The ZRO Memorial Technical Achievement Award Program, or just
"ZRO Test" has a new schedule for February and March, 1994, via
AMSAT-OSCAR-13. This activity is a test of operating skill and equipment
performance.
During a typical ZRO run, a control station will send numeric
code groups using CW at 10 words-per-minute. At the beginning of the
run, uplink power from the control station is set to match the general
beacon downlink strength. This is level "zero". The control operator
will send and repeat a random five-digit number, then lower his uplink
power by 3 dB (half power) and repeat the procedure with a new random
number (level "1"). This will continue to a level 30 dB below the beacon
(level "A").
A participating listener monitors the downlink signals until he
or she can no longer copy the numbers. Those who can hear the beacon
will qualify for the basic award by copying the code group heard at level
"zero". The challenge is to improve home-station performance to a point
where the lower-level downlink signals can be copied (levels 6 through
A). To date, only one station, Darrel Emerson (AA7FV), has successfully
copied level "A".
The following schedule of Mode "B" tests were chosen for convenient
operating times and favorable squint angles. The tests can be heard on
145.840 MHz. Andy WA5ZIB will conduct all the tests. Mode "JL" tests
will no longer occur due to the failure of AO-13's 70-cm transmitter.
Day Date (UTC) Time Areas covered
Saturday Feb. 12, 1994 2345 UTC NA, SA, Europe, W. Africa
Sunday Feb. 20, 1994 0330 UTC NA, NW SA, Japan, Pacific
Saturday Feb. 26, 1994 1930 UTC NA, SA, Europe, Africa, ME
Saturday Mar. 19, 1994 1930 UTC NA, SA, Europe, Africa
Saturday Mar. 26, 1994 2315 UTC NA, SA
Note that the dates and days are shown in "UTC", thus the second
test occurs at 9:30 PM CST Saturday night (the 19th). Any changes will
be announced as soon as possible via the AMSAT HF and AO-13 Operations
Nets.
All listener reports with date of test and numbers copied should
be sent to Andy MacAllister WA5ZIB, AMSAT V.P. User Operations, 14714
Knights Way Drive, Houston, TX 77083-5640. A report will be returned
verifying the level of accurate reception. An S.A.S.E. is appreciated
but not required.
Information about the AMSAT Awards Program can be found on page
197 of the "Proceedings of the AMSAT-NA Tenth Space Symposium" (1992).
This paper, covering all the AMSAT-NA awards including specifics on the
ZRO Test, was reprinted on page 10 in the March/April 1993 issue of "The
AMSAT Journal". The ZRO Test information provided in the article covers
test procedures, means for obtaining certificates and gives some
historical background about the program. Reprints of the article can be

as well as planned Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment activities.
The Goddard Amateur Radio Club (GARC) WA3NAN invites you to tune into
Shuttle transmissions. As a public service to the Amateur radio community,
the GARC retransmits space shuttle air-to-ground communications. During the
STS-60 mission, Amateur radio operators, shortwave listeners, and those
individuals with scanners can listen to these communications on the following
frequencies:
3.860 MHz (lower sideband)
7.185 MHz (lower sideband)
