BID: $ANS-170.01
One of the biggest challenges any satellite communications engineer has
is to develop a link budget that shows what might work and what wont!
At the STEC 2005 Conference held in Aarlborg in April, and previously
reported on ANS, Jan King briefly showed his suite of graphic
spreadsheets which help satisfy this need.
It is fully annotated with guidance notes and includes graphical
representations of orbit data, antenna radiation patterns etc.
As an added benefit he has also produced an on-board power budget
spreadsheet and one covering the mass budget.
All of these are now available for download from the link at
http://www.amsat.org.uk/iaru
It is anticipated that a short presentation of these exciting tools
will be given during the AMSAT-UK Colloquium which will be taking place
at the University of Surrey between July 29-31st
