SuitSat-1 abbot functional

It is difficult for me to write after the previous sad news….

But to add info to SuitSatu-1. More information was received during Sunday, of SuitSat-1 is operational. That's the problem, that the space suit rotates, the antenna is therefore not permanently directed to the ground. The signals are characterized by a very strong leakage, nevertheless, a couple of radio amateurs managed to capture at least part of the broadcast session – brand, SSTV telemetry. Other theories talk about it, that the problem is probably in the performance of the transceiver, or in the link between the transceiver and the antenna. Only radio amateurs with directional antennas and preamplifiers on the mast have a chance to catch the signal. My last observations tonight at approx 3:00 AM a cca 4:45 AM local time were negative (antenna vertical RingoRanger + FT847).

Audibility reports can be sent to the mentioned page www.suitsat.org. There you will also find the last recorded reports, even the links to the recordings are part of the session. It is very important not to broadcast them on the frequency 145.990 MHz. I have personally encountered this several times, that I heard music from Windows. 🙁

Finally, current Kepleries (Attention, the position changes every moment) – from the ISS, SuitSat-1 moves approx 6 km for 90 minutes.
