Amateur Radio Operator Contacts Spacecraft
The headlines are sensational, although a bit exaggerated: "Ham Radio
'hacks' NASA Satellite". While the phrase is eye-catching for social media,
the truth is just as exciting. Amateur radio astronomer Scott Tilley,
VE7TIL, has made contact with NASA's STEREO-A spacecraft, which passed
Earth for the first time in 17 years.
The STEREO-A (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) spacecraft was
launched on October 25, 2006, from Cape Canaveral, Florida, with its twin
sister ship, STEREO-B. Both spacecraft were on a mission to circle behind
the and send images back to Earth so scientists could make 3D models of
solar activity. In 2014, STEREO-B failed and was not heard from again.
"I'm having fun with STEREO-A," Tilley reported to Spaceweather.com. "The
spacecraft is close to Earth this summer, and I can now receive its signal
using a small 26-inch dish in my backyard."

spacecraft. [Photo courtesy of Scott Tilley]
Tilley began hearing rumors that other radio operators were picking up
signals from STEREO-A on 8443.580 MHz. He decided to check it out. "The
central carrier is very loud, almost 30 dB above the noise," he said. "I
also noticed data sidebands, which are unusual to see on such a distant
object for my small antenna."
Tilley was able to decode and demodulate STEREO-A's signal using a special
program written by Alan Antonie, F4LAU, known as SatDump, and now, he is
monitoring almost all of STEREO-A's science instruments, including its
Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUVI), two coronagraphs (COR1 and COR2), the
heliospheric imager (HI), and a solar radio burst receiver (S/WAVES).
STEREO-A's closest approach to Earth was scheduled to occur on August 17,
2023.
Amateur radio operators who would like to monitor STEREO-A can check out
Tilley's technical blog for more information.

Changes to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution for August 18, 2023
Two Line Elements or TLEs, often referred to as Keplerian elements or keps
in the amateur community, are the inputs to the SGP4 standard mathematical
model of spacecraft orbits used by most amateur tracking programs. Weekly
updates are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. TLE bulletin
files are updated Thursday evenings around 2300 UTC, or more frequently if
new high interest satellites are launched. More information may be found at
https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/
This week there are no additions or deletions to the weekly AMSAT TLE
distribution.
[ANS thanks Joe Fitzgerald, KM1P, AMSAT Orbital Elements Manager, for the
