PicSat Reported Active Four Years After Last Transmission
On June 20, 2022, Vlad Chorney, EU1SAT, received the beacon signal from
PicSat. PicSat is a 3U CubeSat that was launched on an Indian PSLV rocket
on January 12, 2018 with a mission to observe the transit of Beta Pictoris
b, an exoplanet orbiting Beta Pictoris. The satellite also carries an FM
transponder for amateur radio use. Unfortunately, the satellite ceased
transmitting in April 2018.
On June 24, 2022, the PicSat team reported successfully commanding the
satellite.
For updates on the progress of the satellite's recovery, follow the team's
Twitter account: @IAmPicSat https://twitter.com/IamPicSat
[ANS thanks EU1SAT and the PicSat team for the above information]

Changes to the AMSAT TLE Distribution for June 23, 2022
The following satellite has decayed from orbit and has been removed from
this week's AMSAT-NA TLE distribution:
Phoenix NORAD Cat ID 45258 (decayed form orbit on 6/13/2022 per
Space-Track).

ARISS News
Scheduled ARISS Contacts
Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Moscow, Russia, direct via TBD
(***)
The ISS callsign is presently scheduled to be RSØISS (***)
The downlink frequency is presently scheduled to be 145.800 MHz
The scheduled crewmember is Oleg Artemyev (***)
Contact is go for Sat 2022-07-09 21:20 UTC (***)
Kjell Lindgren KO5MOS continues to be making general contacts on the
cross-band repeater. He is using NA1SS. 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.
ARISS mentor Sergey RV3DR has passed along this interesting website:

Upcoming Satellite Operations
WL7T: I locked EL58 in for June 29, 30, and July 1. I plan to work 6 meters
for the majority of the time with sat passes as requested. I am going to
operate from a boat from around ~9 AM – 5 PM each day.
KC7JPC: Looks like he will be in DN08 over the 4th of July weekend. FM
only, no cell service so will just do a pass here and there.
W3IPA: DM42 vacation planned for Jul 30-Aug 6th will be on FM passes
vacation style. I will be close to DM41 so might be able to work a
gridline. Will post more updates closer to that week!
N8MR: EN 57,67,56 8/6 through 8/13. More to come as date gets closer.
Major Roves:
KX9X & N9NCY Wild West Rove: Sean and Nancyâ€Ös Wild West Rove has be
en
scaled back, but is still going forward. They will now be on the road from
July 13-25 while hiking in National Parks. They will travel through seven
states and 38 grids, planning activation on FM and linear satellites.
Extensive operation in Montana and North Dakota in the Canadian border
grids beginning July 20. There will also be 6 meter and occasional HF POTA
activity as well.
Grids they will pass through, in order:
EN50 – 40 – 41 – 42 – 32 – 33 â

Satellite Shorts From All Over
+ Three new AMSAT distance records were claimed recently. At 14:55 UTC on
June 22, 2022, Joe, KE9AJ, in Wisconsin worked George, MI0ILE, in Northern
Ireland via the HO-113 transponder - a distance of 5,898 km. On April 18,
2022, Juan, A65GC, in the United Arab Emirates worked Jérôme, F4D
XV, in
France on both CAS-4A and CAS-4B, setting the new distance records on those
satellites at 5,108 km. Claimed satellite distance records can be found at
https://www.amsat.org/satellite-distance-records/ (ANS thanks AMSAT for the
above information)
+ After the completion of the Wet Dress Rehearsal for the Space Launch
System (SLS) and Orion capsule for the Artemis I mission, NASA determined
the testing campaign complete and will move forward with setting a launch
date. (ANS thanks NASA for the above information)
+ SpaceX conducted three perfect Falcon 9 launches and first stage
recoveries in just 36 hoursâ€öthe fastest three launch sequence ever
by a
commercial launch company. The first delivered 53 Starlink v1.5 sats to LEO
from KSCâ€öthe constellation is now >2,400 strong in orbit. This was
followed
by a Vandenberg launch of SARah-1, a SAR surveillance satellite for the
German military. Finally, a backup Globalstar-15 FM15 communications
satellite with undisclosed secondary payloads from a defense customer was
launched back in Florida. SpaceX is now at 164 total launches, 102 booster
reflights, and 126 booster landings. (ANS thanks The Orbital Index for the
above information)
+ If deep space is more your thing than LEO satellites, the CHIME radio
telescope sifts through close to a petabyte of data per day as it searches
for extragalactic fast radio bursts (FRBs). When detected, it now releases
a notification in the Virtual Observatory Event (VOEvent) format which
anyone can subscribe to in order to quickly point their own telescopes (see
https://wiki.ivoa.net/twiki/bin/view/IVOA/IvoaVOEvent). You can also
subscribe to the SuperNova Early Warning System (https://snews.bnl.gov/),
Chirp for gravitational wave event alerts (https://chirp.sr.bham.ac.uk/),
and of course space weather alerts from NOAA (
https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/alerts-watches-and-warnings). (ANS
thanks The Orbital Index for the above information)
