Artist\u2019s impression of HuskySat-1 in Space<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After a week of testing, the transponder on HuskySat-1 is enabled and open for use and testing. It\u2019s fairly sensitive, and 5-10 watts is plenty most of the time. There are some fades due to satellite orientation, and some passes are definitely better than others. The operations and engineering teams are also watching a few anomalies. Please keep an eye on the beacon during transponder ops, for those with spectrum scopes. Strong signals may impact the beacon strength.<\/p>\n

HuskySat-1 CubeSat<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

HuskySat-1 is the Husky Satellite Lab at University of Washington\u2019s first cubesat, and the first mission with AMSAT\u2019s linear transponder module (LTM-1), a V\/u transponder and integrated telemetry beacon and command receiver. UW recently completed their Part 5 operations and have graciously let AMSAT\u2019s Part 97 transponder operations commence. This transponder module is available for use in educational cubesat missions willing to enable the transponder for worldwide use. Contact Drew KO4MA<\/strong><\/a> or VP Engineering Jerry Buxton N0JY<\/a><\/strong> for additional details.<\/p>\n

Reports and observations are welcome to the Amsat-BB mailing list<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to Husky Satellite Lab, and to the entire AMSAT Engineering team for keeping amateur radio in space. Thanks to Dr. Mark Hammond, N8MH<\/a><\/strong> for commissioning and operations support.<\/p>\n

73, Drew KO4MA
