BID: $ANS-067.01

March 3, 2009 marks the 40th anniversary of AMSAT's incorporation.
AMSAT was incorporated in the District of Columbia on March 3, 1969.

Perry, W3PK who was AMSAT President from 1969 to mid-1980 said, "We
filed the application for incorporation 40 years ago on Feb. 27, 1969.
A copy of the filing has been saved at:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/AboutAmsat/documents/incorporation.php

You can see a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation at:
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/AboutAmsat/documents/certificate.php

Perry is working with Dick Daniels, W4PUJ to preserve the original
AMSAT Newsletters, archived in paper format onto electronic media.
Additional AMSAT history can be found in the archives of the "Amateur
Satellite Report" Newsletters scanned and converted to PDF by Phil
Karn, KA9Q. Phil has these issues posted on his website (with AMSAT's
permission). See: http://www.ka9q.net/newsletters.html

As the electronic archive project makes progress Perry will issue
a call for one or more volunteers willing to receive scans of
additional issues JPEG format via e-mail, perform the OCR work and
help us change them to searchable PDF files.

Watch upcoming issues of The AMSAT Journal for articles of AMSAT's
roots. AMSAT will also feature 40 years of our accomplishments at
the 2009 Dayton Hamvention.

SumbandilaSat launch delayed again

SumbandilaSat launch delayed again

The launch of SumbandilaSat has been delayed again, this time due to a
technical hiccup at the Russian launch site, Baikonur.

The Director-General of the Department of Science and Technology, Dr
Phil Mjwara, told SA AMSAT that the launch agency in Russia had sent a
message that the launch would probably be at some time in May this year.

He said that as the launch agency had not been specific in their
communication he will not make a public announcement until DST had
received full details about the reasons for the delay and a new
confirmed date.

It is speculated that the delay is caused by problems of delivering one
of the other payloads on time.

Currently SumbandilaSat is still safely at the test range near Bredasdorp.

AO-27 Satellite Comes Back

In December, 2008 AO-27 went off the air. The control team members
pursued a strategy to drain the batteries in the hopes of resetting
the locked up modem. As of a week ago, the bird has rebooted into
the primary bootloader.

During February, 2009 the control team has managed to upload the high
level software (EOS) to AO-27 after several attempts. They took a week
to collect data to check on the battery status and conduct an on-orbit
checkout before returning to analogue mode.

As of March 1, 2009 the AO-27 control team reports that telemetry is
looking good. During several passes over the US they turned on the
Analogue Repeater. This week the control team will continue the data
download schedule to collect as much whole orbit data to check on the
health of the batteries. So far, it is looking like AO-27 will return
to normal operations on or around March 7th.

AO-27 Uplink:   145.850 MHz FM
AO-27 Downlink: 436.795 MHZ FM

AO-7 UHF Beacon Activates RTTY Telemetry

The AO-7 UHF Beacon at 435.100 MHz has been reported as becoming oper-
ational. Satellite telemetry in RTTY format is being copied. The AO-7
70-cm beacon was monitored with very strong signals during February 28
passes and also since then. Some reported the beacon initially sounded
as if it was in a two-state mode that sounded a bit like RTTY in idle.
Successful RTTY decodes have been accomplished using "reverse, 45, 85"
parameters.

AO-7 Command Operator, Mike, N1JEZ says, "This is a pretty significant
development. Every time I've tried to activate the RTTY system, all I
would get is a solid carrier then the bird has reset indicating a lack
of power."

[ANS thanks Mike, N1JEZ for the above information]

activities, for this event. They are also invited to submit papers
for the "Proceedings" document which will be published at the same
time but printed papers are not mandatory. We normally prefer

give them in the authors' absence. We also welcome
"unpresented" papers for the Proceedings document.

Offers of talks should be submitted as soon as possible; the final
date for full documents to be received is late-June 2009 in order
that the "Proceedings" document be available to participants.

Submissions should be sent *ONLY* to G4DPZ via the following routes:
