Satellites information update by JE9PEL

Ground Stations say as follows.

At first we think to take down the photograph which FITSAT took at the
time of release by the first priority. And we test it at the time to
pass south around 45 degrees of the ground station. The range that we
can receive is limited at present. We think to have the amateure ham
of the other countries participate in this experiment of 5.84GHz after
we took down the photograph which FITSAT took when KIBO released it.

We sent a command last night and took down some image data. Because we
received it while correcting Doppler by hand, there were quite many
errors. We were able to restore an image a little when we revised the
error data by hand. And a solar panel of ISS came out. If we can be
restored to the original state neatly, we will open it to the public.

BS放送受信用アンテナ「BS-TA352」を基準にした My_HP No.289 が参考になるか
もしれません。記事は 35cmのディッシュですが、JA0CAW局は もう一回り大きい
38cmの同等の製品を元にアンテナを作製されていることが、写真を見るとわかり
ます。自局も11年前に購入したのですが、何処を探してもみつかりませんでした。

AMSAT-DL会長, DB2OS/Peter Guelzow氏から私信が来ました。
ドイツ･ボーフムの 20m_ディッシュ を使って、5.84GHz 受信に協力するという
ありがたい申し出です。詳しい周波数/モード/フォーマットを所望しています。

Hi Mineo,

can we help with our 20m dish in Bochum?

What is the exact frequency and modulation/data format?
Do we need special hardware?

best wishes

Peter DB2OS
AMSAT-DL President
