Amateur Satellites Scheduled for Launch This Week
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket will launch a dozens of satellites on the
company^`Oes 13th smallsat rideshare mission to a sun-synchronous orbi
t. The launch is currently scheduled for Tuesday, March 4.
Among those satellites is HADES-ICM 1.5 PocketQube satellite main mission
is to act as a FM voice repeater. It can also repeat FSK derived modes like
FT-4 and FT-8.
As there is a small empty space available, it will be used to carry an
experiment by Smart IR/Graphene Engineering Innovation Centre, GEIC
University of Manchester (UK) consisting in a very low power active
radiator to be tested on space conditions. The data for this experiment
will be transmitted in a specific data packet in the telemetry. This
experiment is the same as the one in HADES-R [*now SO-124 ^`oe see ANS
-054*].
This experiment will be delivered to AMSAT EA for integration and will be
operated by AMSAT-EA, being all its data public and open.
Engineering and manufacturing support for this mission is carried out with
the help of private sector companies and universities, but AMSAT-EA will be
the only operating organization.
icMercury is a company also supporting the mission. It will develop ground
tracking software for the satellite. Telemetry will send some FSK English
formatted text messages, part of a history, to be collected as a challenge.
HADES-ICM will offer licensed radio-amateur around the world the
opportunity to relay FM voice and AX.25 / APRS 300 / 1200 bps
communications. FSK derived transmissions and modes like FT-4 and FT-8 are
also supported. As an improvement from previous missions, maximum power is
now 0.25W when battery is charged (the amplifier uses battery energy),
allowing easier QSOs with handheld antennas like Arrow or Elk and less
sensitive receivers.
The satellite will also transmit telemetry with its status and CW messages.
This all will be achieved by implementing a SDR based repeater. The FM /
FSK repeater will be available all time and opened by squelch level without
the need of a subtone.
As payload, the satellite will carry an experiment by Smart IR/Graphene
Engineering Innovation Centre, GEIC University of Manchester (UK)
consisting in a very low power active radiator to be tested on space
conditions. This experiment is the same as the one in HADES-R satellite
with updates and improvements. Also, as a challenge made with icMercury,
telemetry will send FSK English formatted text messages, part of a history,
to be collected.
This satellite is based on the hardware of HADES-D (SO-121, currently being
used by hams worldwide for voice contacts) and the next to launch HADES-R.
FM satellites are very demanded and appreciated by the ham community
because they are easy to use, they don^`Oet require of expensive trans
ceivers and allow continental and even transatlantic contacts in some
conditions.
With this satellite we also put into use the amateur VHF and UHF satellite
sub-bands helping to secure them for the community in the future. Proposing
a UHF downlink and planning a launch on SpaceX Transporter 13 into a
500-600 km polar orbit in Feb 2025. A downlink on 436.666 MHz has been
coordinated by the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU).

------------------------------
Nine New TEVEL Satellites Scheduled for Launch
A group of satellites labeled as ^`^|TEVEL2^`^} are on the launch
manifest for the SpaceX ransporter 13 mission scheduled for launch on
March 4.
Designated as TEVEL2-1 through TEVE2-9, they are all listed as having a
downlink frequency of 436.400 MHz. However, this frequency has not been
coordinated with the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU).
One may assume that these satellites will operate in much the same manner
as the first series of TEVEL satellites, launched in January of 2022 and
now decayed from orbit. These satellites were activated individually and
carried FM repeaters with the same 436.400 MHz downlink, and an uplink
frequency of 145.970 MHz. However, there is no official word from the
satellite sponsors as to their plans for this new series of satellites.
Yet another satellite on the Transporter 13 manifest is NILA, a 3U cubesat
built by HEX20Labs and students of Marian Engineering College, both in
India. The builders of this satellite requested a UHF downlink for 9600 bps
GFSK/AX25 telemetry. However, the IARU declined the request because they
deemed the project commercial, and not qualifying for use of amateur
frequencies.

------------------------------
UVSQ-Sat NG Scheduled for Launch
Also among the satellites on the manifest for the SpaceX Rideshare 13
launch is the third of a series of French cubesats, named UVSQ-Sat NG
^`oe or
^`^|Next Generation.^`^} The previous satellites in this series carried
amateur radio FM transponders.
Specifically designed to observe essential climate variables, UVSQ-Sat NG
is a 6U nanosatellite, meaning that it has the dimensions of six stacked
unit cubes, each cube having a standard size of 10 centimetres by. Weighing
only 10 kg, UVSQ-Sat NG represents a true concentrate of technology. The
satellite is equipped with a sophisticated attitude determination and
control system designed to meet a variety of scientific requirements
related to the observation of essential climate variables. This addition
distinguishes it considerably from its two predecessors, UVSQ-Sat and
INSPIRE-Sat 7. In a study published in the journal Remote Sensing Journal,
a team of researchers from the Atmospheres Laboratory, Space Observations
(LATMOS ^`^s CNRS/Sorbonne University / UVSQ), in partnership with ind
ustry,
described this new space mission as well as its scientific aims. The
satellite is scheduled to be launched in 2025.
One of the objectives of UPSQ-Sat NG is to maintain the continuity of the
Earth^`Oes Radial Assessment studies initiated by the UVSQ-Sat and
INSPIRE-Sat7 satellites, launched in 2021 and 2023 respectively. The
UVSQ-Sat NG mission also involves monitoring concentrations of greenhouse
gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, while analysing their links
with infrared radiation emitted by the Earth.
In addition to the methods used to determine the components of the Earth
^`Oes
Radial Balance sheet from the instruments of the UVSQ-Sat NG satellite,
researchers detail the technologies used to extract information on
atmospheric gas columns (CO2, CH4, O2, H2O) from data from the miniaturised
infrared spectrometer that will be on board UPSQ-Sat NG.
Both scientific and innovative, this research project is primarily an
educational tool, and is an exceptional educational platform for students
who are actively involved in the design, implementation of the satellite
structure, and the establishment of a satellite management and management
centre. This programme aims to meet the requirements of enterprises and
public bodies in terms of training, development of initial and continuous
educational programmes, while at the same time increasing the
attractiveness of these training courses. This is in order to ensure the
acquisition of the key competences required for the emerging professions of
France in 2030.
UVSQ-Sat NG is equipped with several instruments, including radiative
sensors (thermopiles with carbon nanotubes) for monitoring incoming solar
radiation and outgoing terrestrial radiation. A near-infrared spectrometer
is also on board to evaluate atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases
by making observations in the wavelength range of 1200 to 2000 nm.
In addition, UVSQ-Sat NG carries a high-definition camera designed to take
images of the Earth in the visible spectrum. This NanoCam will facilitate
the post-processing of spectrometer-based data by ensuring accurate
geolocation of observed scenes. It will also offer the possibility of
observing the Earth^`Oes edge, thus giving an approximate estimation o
f the
vertical temperature profile of the atmosphere.
A scientific paper published in the journal, Remote Sensing states that,
^`^|The Isispace VHF Receiver (RX) operates in the commercial frequency
range of 148 to 150.5 MHz, and for amateur frequency coordination, it
operates within the frequency range of 145.8 to 146.0 MHz. On the other
hand, the Isispace VHF Transmitter (TX) covers the commercial frequency
range of 400.15 to 402.0 MHz and, for amateur usage, it spans the range
of 435.0 to 438.0 MHz. An audio transponder will also be used with the
amateur radio community.^`^}
However, no amateur frequencies have been coordinated with the
International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) and no amateur operation has been
announced.

Intuitive Machines^`Oe Lunar Lander Beams Back First Images of Earth
The Athena lunar lander manufactured by Houston, Texas aerospace company
Intuitive Machines shared its first ^`^|selfies^`^} from orbit af
ter launching at
00:16 UTC on Thursday, Feb. 27 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The images released later Thursday show the six-legged Nova-C lander with
Earth in the background. Intuitive Machines shared the photos within about
13 hours of the spacecraft launching to orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9
rocket.
*Intuitive Machines, the company that built and operates that lunar lander,
shared the first images from orbit after launching from Florida. The craft
is carrying a number of science instruments, including water-hunting
technology for NASA. [Photo: © Intuitive Machines]*
The Athena spacecraft, which is on a mission known as IM-2, is now one of
two American-made uncrewed lunar landers on their way to the moon^`Oes
surface. Firefly Aerospace, also based in Texas, is operating its own
spacecraft named Blue Ghost that is due to attempt a landing early Sunday
after about a 45-day voyage.
NASA is the primary customer on both commercial spaceflights, which are due
to study different regions of the moon^`Oes surface to pave the way fo
r
astronauts to return as early as 2027 under the space agency^`Oes
Artemis program. The NASA campaign is treating the moon as a vital pit
stop for spacefarers to pause and fuel up ahead of the first crewed
missions to Mars
If all goes to plan, Athena should be landing on the moon^`Oes south
pole on Thursday, March 6.
The IM-2 mission is targeting a landing near a plateau known as Mons
Mouton, which would be even further south than Intuitive Machines^`Oe
first lander, Odysseus, which made history in February 2024. The
mesa-like lunar mountain towers over a landscape carved by craters,
including the Shackleton Crater ^`^s a cold, dark region where water
ice and other volatile materials that turn easily into gas are thought
to be abundant.
The main experiment onboard Athena is NASA^`Oes PRIME-1 (Polar Resourc
es Ice
Mining Experiment-1). The dual instrument composed of both a drill and a
mass spectrometer will excavate and measure lunar soil, known as regolith,
to detect whether gases and accessible resources are present.
Water ice thought to be abundant in the region, once uncovered, could be
extracted and used for drinking, breathing and as a source of hydrogen and
oxygen for rocket fuel to make future expeditions to Mars possible,
according to NASA.
Other objectives include testing a Nokia LTE 4G communications system and
deploying a propulsive drone capable of hopping across the lunar surface.
NASA^`Oes Lunar Trailblazer spacecraft, which launched as a rideshare
on the
Falcon 9, also began its own seperate journey to lunar orbit to map the
distribution of the different forms of water on Earth^`Oes only natural
satellite.

SpaceX Delays Flight 8 of Starship
SpaceX has pushed the eighth test flight of its Starship megarocket back a
few days.
Elon Musk^`Oes company had been targeting Friday (Feb. 28) for Flight
8 of Starship, the biggest and most powerful rocket ever built. But
that^` Oes no longer the plan.
^`^|Now targeting to launch Starship^`Oes eighth flight test as soon as
Monday,
March 3,^`^} SpaceX said in an X post early on Thursday morning (Feb.
27). No reason was given for the delay.
If all goes to plan, Starship will lift off from Starbase, SpaceX^`Oes
facility in South Texas, on Monday during a window that opens at 2330 UTC
(5:30 p.m. local Texas time).
SpaceX will try for another ^`^|chopsticks^`^} catch of Super Heavy,
the booster ^`oe its third overall, if successful ^`oe and Ship, the
upper st age, will attempt to deploy mock Starlink satellites on its
suborbital trajectory.
Ship will again target a controlled splashdown off Western Australia.
Eventually, SpaceX plans to snag the returning upper stage using the launch
tower^`Oes chopsticks as well, but the company isn^`Oet ready to
try that just yet.

GridMasterMap Satellite Top 100 Rovers March 2025 Rankings
The March 2025 rankings for the Top 100 Rovers (Mixed LEO/MEO/GEO) in
satellite operations, as determined by @GridMasterMap on Twitter, has been
released. The ranking is determined by the number of grids and DXCC
entities activated, taking into account only those grids where a minimum
number of QSOs logged on the gridmaster.fr website have been validated by a
third party. Grid numbers do not directly reflect the exact number of
activations. Satellite operators are encouraged to upload their LoTW
satellite contacts to https://gridmaster.fr in order to provide more
accurate data.

Changes to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution for February 28
Two Line Elements or TLEs, often referred to as Keplerian elements or keps
in the amateur community, are the inputs to the SGP4 standard mathematical
model of spacecraft orbits used by most amateur tracking programs. Weekly
updates are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. TLE bulletin
files are updated daily in the first hour of the UTC day. New bulletin
files will be posted immediately after reliable elements become available
for new amateur satellites. More information may be found at
https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/.
The following satellite has been *added* to this week^`Oes AMSAT TLE
distribution:
HADES-R (SO-124) NORAD Cat ID 62690
The following satellites have been *deleted* from this weeks AMSAT TLE
distribution:

ARISS NEWS
Amateurs and others around the world may listen in on contacts between
amateurs operating in schools and allowing students to interact with
astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station. The
downlink frequency on which to listen is 145.800 MHz worldwide.
*FAILED*
Royal Moroccan Air Academy, Marrakech, Morocco, direct via CN8ERA
The ISS callsign was scheduled to be OR4ISSThe scheduled crewmember was
Sunita Williams, KD5PLB
The ARISS mentor is IN3GHZ
Contact was not successful for: Fri 2025-02-21 11:12:20 UTC 72 degrees

ARISS is working to determine what exactly happened.
*UPCOMING*
No additional contacts are scheduled in the immediate future.
The crossband repeater continues to be active (145.990 MHz up {PL 67} &
437.800 MHz down). If any crewmember is so inclined, all they have to do is
pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on the crossband
repeater. So give a listen, you just never know.
The packet system is also active (145.825 MHz up & down).
As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios
are turned off as part of the safety protocol.
Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own
orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed
time.

Satellite Shorts From All Over
+ A total lunar eclipse will happen overnight between March 13 and March
14, 2025. It will be the first total lunar eclipse visible anywhere in the
world since November 2022, and will also be the first of three happening
between 2025 and 2026. During totality ^`oe the peak phase of the ecli
pse ^`oe
the moon will turn a deep reddish-orange hue, earning it the nickname
^`^|Blood Moon.^`^} This effect happens because Earth^`Oes a
tmosphere scatters
shorter wavelengths of light from the sun while allowing longer wavelengths
of red and orange hues to be refracted into Earth^`Oes umbra (the dark
est part
of Earth^`Oes shadow). When these longer wavelengths strike the moon,
they can
make it appear red, similar to how the sky appears red during sunrise and
sunset. Totality will last for an impressive 65 minutes, beginning at 0726
UTC on March 14. (ANS thanks Space.com for the above information.)
+ GOES-19 will replace GOES-16 as the operational GOES-East weather
satellite on April 4, 2025. Between 17 March 2025 and 1 April 2025, the
GOES-16 satellite will undergo a minor East/West station-keeping maneuver,
drifting from its current operational longitude of 75.2°W to a new
operational longitude of 75.5°W. During this time, the GOES-East HRIT/
EMWIN
Broadcast will continue from GOES-16. This 0.3°W shift is expected to
induce minimal change in received signal strength for ground stations
employing properly aligned small aperture antennas. GOES-19 will also begin
its drift maneuver^`^s drifting from 89.5°W to 75.2°W ~1 deg
/day drift. On
April 1, GOES 19 arrives at 75.2°W, then GOES-19 Post-Drift Product
Checkout at new location commences. (ANS thanks Carl Reinemann,
