-------------
Given the low duty cycle of the spacecraft, those planning to
receive and decode the digital telemetry during this test are
encouraged to record the entire signal band using the FunCube
dongle or SDR-IQ receivers.

Software for demodulating the BPSK-1000 telemetry is available
at http://www.arissattlm.org;
the software Quick Start Guide is available on the link on the
http://www.amsat.org front page.

ARISSatTLM TELEMETRY ON-LINE
----------------------------
AMSAT needs your telemetry from ARISSat-1/KEDR both during the
test and after deployment from the International Space Station.

Since there are no "Whole Orbit Data" storage mechanisms onboard
ARISSat-1/KEDR, your submissions are the only way for AMSAT to
collect the spacecraft telemetry and KURSK experiment results.

If you are running ARISSatTLM and receiving the signal "live" from
ARISSat-1/KEDR, then please enable the telemetry forwarding option.
In the PC version of ARISSatTLM you can do this by selecting "Tools"
then "Options". In the "Options" window, replace "NOCALL" with your
amateur radio callsign and put a check in the box next to "Forward
telemetry over the Internet". The destination will already be filled
in with "telemetry.arissattlm.org".

If you successfully receive the telemetry from a recording (not live),
please forward your telemetry CSV file and KURSK telemetry files by
e-mail to telemetry (AT) arissattlm.org. These can be found inside
the ARISSatTLM folder on your Windows desktop in the Kursk and Tele-
metry folders.

And, if you just can't get enough ARISSat-1/KEDR telemetry, remember
that you can see the latest telemetry LIVE on your computer or cell
phone at: http://www.arissattlm.org/mobile

This "mobile" page is powered by the submissions from the ARISSatTLM
users who forward their telemetry over the Internet.

KD5QGR OSCAR STATUS PAGE
------------------------
Thanks to David Carr, KD5QGR, ARISSat-1/KEDR has just been added to
list of satellites at the popular "Live OSCAR Satellite Status Page"
at: http://oscar.dcarr.org/  Although the transponder will not be
active this weekend, if you hear the downlink during the test (or if
you don't hear the downlink) please submit a report.

More information on the transmission schedule and overall mission
of ARISSat-1/KEDR can be found at:

The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT) is a non-profit,
volunteer organization which designs, builds and operates experi-
mental amateur radio satellites and promotes space education. We
work in partnership with government, industry, educational insti-
tutions and fellow amateur radio societies. We encourage technical
and scientific innovation, and promote the training and development
of skilled satellite and ground system designers and operators. Our
vision is to deploy satellite systems with the goal of providing
wide area and continuous coverage for amateur radio operators world-
wide. AMSAT is also an active participant in human space missions
and supports satellites developed in cooperation with the educational
community and other amateur satellite groups.

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a volun-
teer program which inspires students, worldwide, to pursue careers
in science, technology, engineering and math through amateur radio
communications opportunities with the International Space Station
on-orbit crew. Students learn about life on board the ISS and explore
Earth from space through science and math activities. ARISS provides
opportunities for the school community (students, teachers, families
and local residents) to become more aware of the substantial benefits
of human space flight and the exploration and discovery that occur on
space flight journeys along with learning about technology and amateur
radio.
