Planet Lab Dove CubeSats leaving the ISS Nanoracks Deployer on February 11, 2014

The QB50 constellation of fifty CubeSats should be shipped to the International Space Station (ISS) in July 2016 for subsequent deployment.

QB50p1 and QB50p2 Precursor 2U CubeSats – Image Credit ISIS

The CubeSats are planned to be deployed from the ISS using the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) and the Nanoracks CubeSat Deployers.
Eight NanoRacks deployers are installed on the Multi-Purpose Experiment Platform (MPEP). Each deployer has a capacity of 6U and so can hold up to six 1U, three 2U or two 3U CubeSats. They are carried by Japanese Experiment Module-Remote Manipulator System (JEM-RMS).
Mineo Wakita JE9PEL has made available a spreadsheet showing the 50 satellites and their frequencies. A copy can be downloaded from JE9PEL QB50 CubeSat Frequencies 2015-11-06 or check the JE9PEL site for the latest version.

18:30 End of event at Fibigerstræde 15

At Fredrik Bajersvej 7C in our SpaceLab we have our local Houston Control Room

You are welcome to join us (300m walk from Fibigerstræde 15)

18:28 First pass to be received by our ground station in Austria 

WE HOPE TO HAVE CONTACT :-)

Next pass at:
20:04 AAU
20:05 Austria

Launch Info

We hope to be deployed from ISS some time between 5 and 8 October

Viewable passes (based on ISS TLE) with elevation greater than 10 degress will be something like: ( a pass will last less than 10 minuttes)

So ... it seems that - depending of time of ejection from ISS - be lot of time to listen to AAUSAT5 'before we will see it in Aalborg. We really hope that you will help us.

NB NB : Time on the images below is in UTC so add 2 hours to get european/danish time (CEST)

AMSAT-NA VP-Engineering on NASA TV Wednesday

AMSAT-NA VP-Engineering Jerry Buxton, N0JY will be on the panel at a NASA prelaunch briefing on Wednesday, October 7 at 1800 UT. The briefing will be shown live on NASA TV.
The amateur radio FM transponder CubeSat, AMSAT Fox-1A, will be among 13 CubeSats flying as secondary payloads on the NROL-55 mission which should launch on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket on Thursday, October 8, from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
NASA will be holding two briefings about the launch. The first on Wednesday, Oct. 7 at 1700 UT (1pm EDT) will highlight the growing importance of CubeSats in exploration and technology development. The second at 1800 UT (2pm EDT) will discuss five of the CubeSats.

Fox-1A Flight Unit

Jerry Buxton, N0JY will on the panel in the 1800 UT briefing to talk about the Fox mission and science, and answer questions.
Fox-1A is a 1-Unit CubeSat carrying an FM repeater that will allow simple ground stations using an HT and an “Arrow” or “Elk” type antenna to make contacts using the satellite.
Data Under Voice (DUV) is used to send 200 bps FSK telemetry data at the same time as FM audio. This is achieved by making use of sub-audible frequencies below 200 Hz.
Information on the free Fox telemetry decoder software is at
http://amsat-uk.org/2015/09/23/fox-telemetry-decoder-software/

BisonSat CubeSat

Among the other CubeSats carrying amateur radio payloads is BisonSat, the first satellite developed by Native American tribal college students. Using BisonSat’s 100-meter resolution camera the Salish Kootenai College students hope to acquire images of the Flathead Indian Reservation. Dr. Tom Olson will be on the panel to discuss BisonSat.

ESA invites radio amateurs to listen for AAUSAT-5 CubeSat

AAUSat-5 and Deployer – Credit ESA

The AAUSAT-5 amateur radio CubeSat built by students at the University of Aalborg, Denmark is planned to be released from the International Space Station sometime in the week of October 5.
The European Space Agency (ESA) is inviting radio amateurs to listen out for the signals from the satellite. The first to send in a recorded signal from AAUSAT-5 will receive a prize from ESA’s Education Office.
Launched on August 19, 2015 to the ISS, the Danish student CubeSat is now waiting for its deployment from the Japanese Kibo module’s airlock. An astronaut will manipulate the Kibo robotic arm to lift AAUSAT-5 from the airlock and place it in orbit.
Once deployed from the ISS the CubeSat will begin transmitting signals to Earth that can be picked up by anyone with common amateur radio equipment. ESA challenges anyone to record the signal and send it to ESA (cubesats@esa.int) and Aalborg University (studentspace@space.aau.dk).
The satellite will transmit on 437.425 MHz using CW and GMSK. The 30 WPM CW beacon will transmit every 3 minutes and the 9600 bps GMSK every 30 seconds.
The first correct email received will win the following prizes:
• ESA/AAUSAT5 poster with signatures of the team members
• ESA Education goodie bag
• Scale 1:1 3D printed model of the AAUSAT-5 satellite
