AMSAT News Service Bulletin 004.01 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. January 4, 2004
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-004.01
The AO-27 Command Team reports that as of 29 December 2003 UTC, a new
schedule has been uploaded to AO-27 after tracking down several bugs in the
on-board schedule state machine.
The schedule starts 3.5 minutes before the sub-satellite point crosses
Latitude 39.0N on an ascending (South to North) pass. At that point AO-27
will turn on for 1 minute of digital telemetry download followed by 6
minutes of analog repeater operation. In addition to the analog repeater
operations in the evening, there will also be 1 minute digital telemetry
transmitted in the morning starting when it crosses Latitude 39.0N on a
descending pass.
When there is a better understanding of the battery condition, the analog
time will be increased.
Your help is needed logging TLM from AO27. Please visit the Logging AO-27
Telemetry page, http://www.umbrasi.com/AO27/tlm.shtml for directions in
getting started.
[ANS thanks the AO-27 Command Team for the above information]
