Changes to AMSAT-NA TLE Distribution for September 15, 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.

ARISS News
Amateurs and others around the world may listen in on contacts between
amateurs operating in schools and allowing students to interact with
astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station. The
downlink frequency on which to listen is 145.800 MHz worldwide.
Quick list of scheduled contacts and events:
Escuela Preparatoria La Salle, Torreon Coah, Mexico, telebridge via IK1SLD
The ISS callsign is presently scheduled to be OR4ISS
The downlink frequency is presently scheduled to be 145.800 MHz
The scheduled crewmember is Jasmin Moghbeli KI5WSL
The ARISS mentor is VE3TBD
Contact is go for: Fri 2023-09-22 16:19:45 UTC 80 deg
Watch for Livestream starting about 15 minutes before AOS at www.ariotti.com
(***)
Amur State University, Blagoveshchensk, 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 Kononenko
The ARISS mentor is RV3DR
Contact is go for Thu 2023-09-28 08:45 UTC
Comments on making general contacts
I have been seeing a lot of traffic on Facebook and I suspect on other
social media sites with people asking why they are not hearing the crew
make general contacts. First off the crew is very busy on the ISS and they
simply may not have the time to just pick up the microphone and talk.
Also, one needs to be aware of their normal daily schedule. I have listed
below the constraints that we at ARISS have to follow in order to schedule
the school contacts. Hopefully this will help you better schedule your
opportunities.
Typical daily schedule
Wakeup to Workday start= 1.5 hours
Workday start to Workday end=12 hours
Workday end to Sleep= 2 hours
Sleep to wakeup= 8.5 hours
The crew's usual waking period is 0730 - 1930 UTC. The most common times to
find a crew member making casual periods are about one hour after waking
and before sleeping, when they have personal time. They're usually free
most of the weekend, as well.
SSTV events are not that often. So please check out https://www.ariss.org/
for the latest information or watch for the ARISS announcements.
And don’t forget that the packet system is active.
As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios
are turned off as part of the safety protocol.

Upcoming Satellite Operations
KI0KB/P will be active on IO-117 (‘GreenCube’) from DM86 in Oklahoma for
two passes:
16th September at 0617z & 1034z
******
Doug, VA7LM will be active on IO-117 for the final time this year from CO44
on 24th September at 0102z
******
The K5Z crew (is it a crew, or just one op?) will be active on IO-117 from
DL88 on 25th September at 1517z. I’m sure this is just one of several
passes on his/her/their list, but it’s all I know about ATM.

AMSAT Ambassador Clint Bradford, K6LCS, says,
"Think a 75-minute presentation on "working the easy satellites" would be
appropriate for your club or event? Let me know by emailing me at
k6lcsclint (at) gmail (dot) com or calling me at 909-999-SATS (7287)!"
Clint has NEVER given the exact same show twice: EACH of the 150+
presentations so far has been customized/tailored to their audiences.

Satellite Shorts From All Over
+ The space industry has a labor problem that could keep it from reaching
its full potential. Space companies are hiring en force. Also, the existing
workforce is aging. One study found that only 17% of NASA's workers are
under age 35. Competition is ramping up at a time when the number of people
graduating with engineering degrees is dropping in the U.S. Welders,
machinists and other technical jobs that don't necessarily require advanced
degrees are also in demand for companies building rockets and spacecraft.
(ANS thanks Axios Space for the above information)
+ The FAA said on Friday, Sept. 8 that SpaceX needs to complete 63
corrective actions identified after the Starship launch mishap in April.
Multiple Raptor engines on the rocket's Super Heavy booster failed, and the
vehicle lost its steering. An autonomous self-destruct system issued a
command to blow up the rocket, but it took longer than expected for
Starship to break apart. The rocket finally disintegrated in a ball of
flame, but the launch impacted the surrounding area, scattering debris over
a wide area. (ANS thanks ARS Technica for the above information)
+ Astronaut Frank Rubio, forced to spend an extra six months aboard the
International Space Station because of trouble with his Russian ride home,
set a new U.S. single-flight endurance record on Monday, Sept. 11. Launched
last September 21, Rubio and cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin
originally planned to come home in March. But their Soyuz capsule suffered
a massive coolant leak in December, presumably due to a micrometeoroid
impact. The three now plan to return to Earth aboard a replacement Soyuz
ferry ship on September 27 to close out a marathon 371-day stay in space —
the first flight longer than a full year by an American astronaut. (ANS
thanks CBS News for the above information)
+ The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment, or MOXIE, on
NASA's Perseverance rover has successfully completed a project to produce
oxygen from the Martian atmosphere. MOXIE produced 12 grams of oxygen an
hour at 98% purity or better, which is twice as much as NASA’s goals for
the instrument. On August 7, MOXIE operated for the 16th and final time,
having completed all its requirements. The thin Martian atmosphere is 96%
carbon dioxide. MOXIE works by separating the oxygen molecules and emits
carbon monoxide as a waste product. Bigger and better versions of something
such as MOXIE in the future could supply life support systems with
breathable air and convert and store oxygen needed for rocket fuel used to
launch on a return trip to Earth. (ANS thanks CNN Science newsletter for
the above information)
