AMSAT News Service Bulletin 179.02 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. June 27, 2004
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-179.02
Mike Kingery, KE4AZN provided the following information on the initial
commissioning for ECHO following launch. Currently, the launch is
planned for 29 June 2004 at approximately 0630 UTC.
The transmitter will not turn on until commanded from the ground. The
plan is that ECHO will be allowed to stabilize and outgas for
approximately 10 hours. The first communication attempt will take place
during the evening of 29 June, during the first pass over the Eastern US
if launched as scheduled. TX0, on 435.155 MHz, will be commanded on and
will be running 9k6 baud Pacsat Protocol. After some initial health and
status checks, the transmitter will be commanded off before the end of
the pass.
The latest prelaunch element set for ECHO is:
