ISS Amateur Radio Status: April 25, 2002
Kolibri-2000 satellite (RS-21) Telemetry Data
Next Space Tourist Mark Shuttlesworth
By Miles Mann WF1F,

MAREX-NA News
Manned Amateur Radio Experiment, North American Division
Space tourist Mark Shuttlesworth is launched into space. Every 6 months
the Soyuz return capsule attached to ISS needs to be replaced with a New
Soyuz capsule. This replacement ensures that if there ever was a need
to make an emergency exit from ISS, that there would always be a fully
fueled hot-stand-by return capsule ready for the ISS crew. These
replacement capsules are called Taxi flights.
This week the TM-34 was launched to ISS and it includes, Russian
Commander Yuri Gidzenko, Flight Engineer Roberto Vittori ESA and South
African businessman Mark Shuttleworth. The three crewmembers will dock
to the Zarya module of the ISS on Saturday at 2:57 a.m. Central time
(07:57 GMT).
Mark Shuttleworth is planing on using the Amateur Radio station on board
ISS to talk to several schools in South Africa.

The Kolibri-2000 satellite (RS-21) has been active for just over a
month. The satellite was Launched on March 19, 2002 at 22:00 UTC.
Many stations from around the world have reported hearing the CW
telemetry signals.
The Kolibri was remote launched into space from the Progress supply
vehicle. The Kolibri RS-21 satellite will then fee-fall back to Earth
over the next 2-4 months. During the Kolibri's free-fall, it will send
back telemetry and digital voice recordings. Part of the RS-21 mission
will include analyzing particles, with an flux-gate magnetometer.
Doppler:
Primary Downlink 435.335 MHz CW/FSK (Doppler 435.325 - 435.345)
Backup Downlink 145.825 MHz CW/FSK (Doppler 145.820 - 145.830)
Kolibri will be transiting usually on the Primary channel of 435.335
mc. The Backup channel has been used occasionally. When you are
listening for Kolibri, make sure you check both channels and you should
adjust for Doppler shift.
I was able to locate an active web page for this project, the ISS
"Kolibri-2000" - Russian-Australian School Scientific-Research
Microsatellite. This web page is a little out of date, if anyone knows
of a more current web page, please forward the information to MAREX.
