It's hard for me to write after the previous one sad news….
But to add info to SuitSatu-1. In the course of Sunday, additional information came out that SuitSat-1 is operational. The problem is that the suit rotates, so the antenna is not permanently pointed at the ground. The signals are characterized by a very strong leakage, nevertheless, a few radio amateurs managed to capture at least parts of the broadcast session - the tag, telemetry and parts SSTV. Ďalšie teórie hovoria o tom, že je zrejme problém buď vo výkone transceivra, alebo v prepojení medzi transceivrom a anténou. Šancu zachytiť signál majú len rádioamateri so smerovými anténami a predzosilňovačmi na stožiari. Moje posledné pozorovania dnes v noci o cca 3:00 AM a cca 4:45 AM lokálneho času boli negatívne (anténa vertikál RingoRanger + FT847).
Audibility reports can be sent to the mentioned page www.suitsat.org. There you will also find the last recorded reports, even links to recordings of parts of the shows. It is very important not to broadcast on the frequency of 145.990 MHz. I have personally encountered several times that I heard music from Windows. 🙁
Finally, the current Kepler (be careful, the position changes every moment) – SuitSat-1 moves away from the ISS about 6 km in 90 minutes.
