Today I made an exciting experiment together with my friend Tetsu san JA0CAW.
Since we can not hear NEGAI* in Central Europe we established a live link between our stations.
Tetsu gave me access to his PC via remote control (VNC) and I could control his transceiver.
We established a second connection via skype for audio.

The audio quality was excellent and I could hear NEGAI at a 10 deg pass over the Pacific Ocean. Thank you Tetsu san.

PS: I remember on similiar experiments with skype and Teamviewer software together with Henk, PA3GUO for
a live presentation of COMPASS-1 at the AMSAT-DL symposium in Bochum last year.

New-CubeSat  Waseda-Sat2 Nothing Heard

Robert, NH7WN: Shortly thereafter I heard CW at a speed similar to COMPASS on frequency 437.305 MHz. For a short time I tracked
Celestrak’s OBJECT A2010:020A at 17 deg. maximum elevation AOS from the west tracking slightly to the SE. The signal was
fading severely and I was unable to make any reasonable copy. Characters I did hear appeared to be:

1… (numbers) DDEFE0 EG CO/710

Very difficult with D700 (FM/Fades and 5 KHz steps in Doppler!!!): BUT something was there where Celestrak said OBJ. A would be !!
No packets heard: Only CW. Time 2051Z; azimuth 224 deg at 17 degs elevation;

H-IIA successfully launched

DK3WNLeave a comment


21:58 UTC The launch vehicle, a H-IIA rocket, took off from the Tanegashima space centre in southern Japan on schedule at 21:58 UTC, three days after its original launch was postponed by bad weather.

After the first-time combustion of the second stage engine was cut off, three small Cubesats (secondary payload) on the J-POD (WASEDA-SAT2, KSAT, and Negai*”) were separated at 22:13 UTC. After the second cutoff of the second stage engine, the AKATSUKI was injected into the Venus transfer orbit.

The H-IIA continued its coast flight and separated IKAROS and UNITEC-1 from the Payload Attach Fitting (PAF900M, the PAF primarily for the main payload, AKATSUKI.)

Four CubeSats in Japan are planned to launch at 20 May 2010 together with PLANET-C which belongs to JAXA by H-IIA rocket. One of them is NEGAI. Her mission is earth imaging and image compression.
We got two test files from the NEGAI Cubesat-Team. Thanks to Ueda san and Tetsu san.
