The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 17:15 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between NA1SS and N4BRF. The contact should be audible over the state of Florida and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English. Boca Raton Christian School is a faith-based school distinguished by its academic excellence, spiritual formation, and caring environment. BRCS serves approximately 570 students in grades PreK-12. The campus is situated on approximately 22 acres in downtown Boca Raton, FL. Founded in 1973 as a ministry of Boca Raton Community Church, the school is accredited by several educational institutions and has been recognized twice as a National Blue Ribbon School. The college preparatory high school features a one-to-one laptop program as well as superior fine arts and athletic programs. All BRCS students participate in community service: grades K through 8 are involved in local projects, and high school students spend a week serving under-served communities in Tennessee, Arizona, and Costa Rica. Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio.

The linear transponder is almost the same as that on the TURKSAT-3USAT which was launched on April 26, 2013. The satellite is being developed by Istanbul Technical University, Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Space Systems Design and Test Lab (SSDTL) along with TAMSAT, GUMUSH and ERTEK Ltd, with some support of the RF lab of ITU (RFL) and Ministry of Transportation, Communication and Maritime in collaboration with the Japanese Government. The primary mission of UBAKUSAT is to provide voice communications for amateur radio stations around the globe. Additionally the satellite will carry the TAMSAT Simplesat card which will send telemetry data, including the relative radiation data absorbed by the card, to ground stations. There is also a CW beacon. The estimated duration of the satellite mission is about 6 to 12 months before re-entry. The launch from Japan to the International Space Station is planned for late 2016 or early 2017 and deployment from the ISS will occur sometime later.

The CubeSat Launch Initiative gives students, teachers and faculty a chance to get hands-on flight hardware development experience in the process of designing, building and operating small research satellites. It also provides a low-cost pathway to space for research in the areas of science, exploration, technology development, education or operations consistent with NASA's Strategic Plan. Applicants must submit their proposals electronically by 4:30 p.m. EST, Nov. 22, 2016. NASA will choose the payloads by Feb. 17, 2017, but initial selection does not guarantee a launch opportunity. Certain selected experiments are slated to be flown as auxiliary payloads on agency rocket launches or to be deployed from the International Space Station beginning in 2017 and running through 2020. NASA does not fund the development of the small satellites, and this opportunity is open only to U.S. nonprofit organizations and U.S. accredited educational organizations. One goal of the CubeSat Launch Initiative is to extend the successes of space exploration to all 50 states by launching a small satellite from at least one participant in each state in the next five years. During this round, NASA is particularly focused on gaining participation in the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and 18 states not previously selected for the CubeSat Launch Initiative. These states are Arkansas, Delaware, Georgia, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming. CubeSats are in a class of research spacecraft called nanosatellites. The base CubeSat dimensions are about 4 inches by 4 inches by 4 inches (10 centimeters by 10 centimeters by 11 centimeters), which equals one "cube," or 1U. CubeSats supported by this launch effort include volumes of 1U, 2U, 3U and 6U. CubeSats of 1U, 2U and 3U size typically have a mass of about three pounds (1.33 kilograms) per 1U Cube. A 6U CubeSat typically has a mass of about 26.5 pounds (12 kilograms). The CubeSat's final mass depends on which deployment method is selected. To date, NASA has selected 119 CubeSat missions from 66 unique organizations. Of those missions, 46 have been launched into space with 29 more CubeSats scheduled to go in the next 12 months.

The Annual Meeting includes an overview of the “State of AMSAT” by the AMSAT President followed by a Q&A whereby meeting attendees are encouraged to ask questions addressed to the Senior Leadership Team as well as to the Board of Directors. The meeting concludes with our recognition of AMSAT volunteers who have made a significant impact on behalf of AMSAT in 2016 through their efforts in support of AMSAT Engineering, Field Operations, AMSAT Journal, Human Spaceflight, Educational Relations, Dayton Hamvention, and Operations as well as Presidential Recognition. The original intent was to make the Annual Meeting available via Echolink so that AMSAT members not attending the AMSAT Symposium @ Sea could participate. At prior Annual Meetings, Echolink was used to provide access to the Annual Meeting for AMSAT members not attending Symposium with a reasonably good level of interest by those that have used this connection to hear the President’s presentation and participate in the Q&A. Given that internet access on board Carnival Liberty will not provide reliable EchoLink connections, A live EchoLink connection for this year’s Annual Meeting will not be available. However, the meeting will be recorded and the expectation is to have the recording available through the AMSAT website after the conclusion of the cruise and an announcement will be made when it is available.

Due to power budget constraints the transponder cannot be operational 24/7 and an orbit specific schedule has been developed. The transponder will commence operation 27 minutes after the spacecraft enters sunlight and will stay on for a period of 25 minutes. This schedule may be modified over the forthcoming weeks as a result of experience.imagesCAAFR7EH The transponder frequencies are: Uplink: 435.047-435.077 MHz LSB Downlink: 145.935-145.965 MHz USB Output power is approximately 400mW. Qb50p1 was launched in June 2014, as a collaborative effort led by the von Karman Institute and ISIS-BV, into a sun synchronous 620×600 km polar orbit as a precursor spacecraft for the QB50 mission. The primary function of the satellite was to test a number of the systems and science payloads. This phase has now been completed and we are grateful to VKI and ISIS BV for carrying this transponder into space and, again, to ISIS, for developing and uploading the new, required, flight code.

The three main tracks of the conference were covered in two tracks per day to maximize the short time span of the 4 day meeting with the international delegates. Delegates who could not attend in person utilized video conferencing. ARISS Benefactors such as SCaN (Space Communications and Navigation office at NASA-JSC) and CASIS (Center for the Advancement of Science in Space) also attended in-person and online. The three main tracks were Sustainability & Funding, Hardware Development, and Educational Impact. Plenary Sessions were held in the mornings on selected topics of great interest to all attendees. Members also met informally at Ken Ransom's house (N5VHO) for a BBQ - "Texas Style." The 20th Anniversary Dinner was held overlooking Galveston Bay. Much work, many thanks, and a wonderful spirit of international camaraderie was evident by the end of the week at this International Face-to-Face meeting. The future of Amateur Radio in Human Space was discussed heavily and many tasks were undertaken by the delegations to report back or develop a response. Summarizing one comment at the end of the meeting, "This week, just as with any ARISS contact, as we approach LOS (loss of signal), I know it's coming soon, but I don't want it to end." The international attendees expressed great appreciation for the 20th Anniversary ARISS Face-to-Face Meeting organizing committee lead by Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, ARISS International Chair and AMSAT-NA Vice President, Human Spaceflight, Rosalie White, K1STO, ARISS Delegate, Debra Johnson, K1DMJ, ARRL, Mark Steiner, K3MS, ARISS, and Ms. Janet Bauer. Next year's ARISS International Face-to-Face Meeting is schedule for September 2017 in Rome, Italy.

Developed by students at the Harbin Institute of Technology the amateur radio payload onboard DSLWP-A1 will provide telecommand uplink and telemetry / digital image downlink. An open telecommand is also designed to allow amateurs to send commands to take and download an image. The satellites are 50x50x40 cm with a mass of about 45 kg and are 3- axis stabilized. Two linear polarization antennas are mounted along and normal to the flight direction. The team proposes downlinks for A1 on 435.425 MHz and 436.425 MHz while downlinks for A2 would be 435.400 MHz and 436.400 MHz using 10K0F1DCN or 10K0F1DEN 250 bps GMSK with concatenated codes or JT65B. Planning a launch into a 200 x 9000km lunar orbit in June 2018.
