* SAFEX REPEATER OPEN *
=======================
The 70-cm FM voice repeater operating on the Russian space station Mir is
now open for general use. The repeater operates with an input frequency
of 435.750 MHz and requires a CTCSS tone of 141.3 Hz for access. The
repeater output is on a frequency of 437.950 MHz, and the callsign is
RR0DL.
The SAFEX voice recorder beacon is expected to be in operation next week
using a downlink frequency of 437.925 MHz.
Dave Larsen, N6JLH reports working the repeater with 25-watts of transmitter
power and a 35-element yagi antenna. He has not been able to operate the
repeater with a mobile transceiver and a 5/8-wave whip antenna, even on a
75 degree elevation pass.
Dave reminds us that Mir is a rapidly moving spacecraft, so all SAFEX
contacts should be as short as possible. Also be sure to consider the
+/- 10 kHz of Doppler shift that is typical of LEO satellite operation
on the 70-cm band.
------------
437.925 MHz from the MIR space station on the weekend July 13./14., 1996:
"Thanks for the Radio SAFEX, we just turned it on and the best wishes
from the crew of MIR 21. Hope this is of use to you. Many thanks
for the experiment."
Herewith we have reached the first result of our work on the SAFEX project.
Since the construction and the installation on the space station MIR is
finished successfully, we now verify the different modes of the equipment.
The first contact in the QSO-mode was between W5RRR and the MIR station
and the first contact between ground stations via the SAFEX repeater
were IV3WLQ, LY3BH and DF0VR.
Two very important things:
For working via the repeater you must use CTCSS tones. We will publish
the CTCSS tones after checkout. The Doppler-shift is plus/minus 10 KHz, that
means in the begin and the
end of all passes you have a difference of 20 KHz referred to the normal
frequency. The international amateur radio community always tries to use also
the
manned space flight missions. Thus far, this has occurred on several
American and Russian space missions. Years ago the Russians installed
an amateur radio station at the MIR space station. T

were very generous. That can be seen from a payload of 30 kilogram,
three external antennas and an electrical power of 50 Watts/24 hours with
peaks up to 300 Watts for a maximum of 2 hours/day. The technical
demands for all parts of the equipment are very high. What does not
correspond is not going to be launched. In addition there was a tight time
table for the realization of the project.
Concept
=======
The equipment for the RRODL consists of two main parts with several
additional devices.
Radio equipment in the 430 MHz band: Duplex with a 2.2 MHz
frequency shift, modified as communication system for the MIR crew.
Radio equipment in the L/S-band: Uplink 23 cm, downlink 12
cm, designed as an experimental system, transponder operation,
amateur television (ATV), and future experiments.
There exists already a 2 meter amateur radio station on the MIR space
station. It is, however, installed into another module of the station. It is
planned to install a 144 MHz-radio, which will be switched by a duplexes,
in order to make operation possible from RR0DL on 2 m or crossband.

**************************** POCA MEMORIA... *******************************
Chiunque sarebbe portato a pensare che una navetta spaziale debba essere
zeppa di Pentium e lastricata di RAM! Invece le caratteristiche degli
ordinatori di bordo dello Shuttle (ce ne sono cinque), sono del tipo IBM AP
101S con soli 256k di memoria volatile di cui solo 128 vengono
effettivamente utilizzati. Da loro dipendono l'accensione dei motori, la
separazione dei razzi e il controllo della nave al suo rientro. Cio' e'
possibile perche' ogni operazione dipende da specifici pacchetti di
software che vengono caricati, di volta in volta, ad ogni specifica esigenza.
Naturalmente l'hardware risponde a caratteristiche di robustezza e
schermatura particolarmente sofisticate.

Salve , so che non e' una novita' ma vorrei ricordare che in questi giorni
il satellite russo Mir effettua passaggi sull' Europa che iniziano prima
dell'alba. In condizioni di cielo sereno e quando il passaggio avviene
nella fascia tra le 4 e le 5 , e' sicuramente visibile a occhio nudo.
Appare molto luminoso sin dalle basse inclinazioni ed e' visibile per
quasi tutto l'arco che percorre sopra l'orizzonte.
La velocita' apparente rispetto all'osservatore e' di gran lunga maggiore
di quella apparente di un comune aereo di linea pertanto non dovreste
avere dubbi (mancano anche le luci strobo colorate , hi).
Con un comune programma di tracking come Instantrack e' possibile calcolare
i passaggi piu' favorevoli.
Ecco un breve riassunto realizzato con itpass che ricava la seguente tabella
dal file it.orb di Instantrack.
I dati sono realtivi al mio loc JN64GB ma per il resto dell'Italia
possono essere poco differenti (dal momento che si tratta di osservazioni
a occhio).
Ho evidenziato in maiuscolo i passaggi ottimali per la circostanza di
visibilita' piu' probabile.

The SAFEX II Station Call RR0DL
===============================
is now working on bord of the Russian Space Station MIR
=======================================================
With the following words Shannon Lucid gave a message on the frequency
437.925 MHz from the MIR space station on the weekend July 13./14., 1996:
"Thanks for the Radio SAFEX, we just turned it on and the best wishes

+ The Amateur Radio Space Experiment SAFEX II +
+ New Amateur Radio Station RR0DL in Space Station MIR +
+ +
+ by Thomas Kieselbach, DL2MDE +
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++er to accommodate curreIn the past there has been participation of radio amateurs during several
German space missions:
1985: DP0SL at the first German Spacelab-Mission;
1992: DP1MIR at the Russian-German Mission MIR-92;
1993: DP0SL at the second German Spacelab-Mission;
1994: DP3MIR at the Russian-ESA Misson EUROMIR 94;
1995: DP0MIR at the Russian-ESA Mission EUROMIR 95.
In 1993 first discussions and negotiations with the Russian partners
(NPO Energia) and the Russian radio amateurs took place, which led to
an agreement in March 1994 concerning a new HAM-radio-station on
MIR. In May 1994 DARA promised to participate on financing the
project. In August 1994 an agreement between the partners was signed
for the start of RR0DL in late summer 1995 (postponed to spring 1996).
Project Requirements
====================
The experience of earlier missions showed that astronauts and
cosmonauts are very busy and overloaded with work. Therefore the new
equipment must offer technical arrangements which permit amateur radio
activities without active crew operation. In amateur radio one is
concerned with many technical areas. The new equipment will satisfy the
desire for both communication and experiments.
The conception on the Russian side had to be fulfilledin detail, but they
were very generous. That can be seen from a payload of 30 kilogram,
three external antennas and an electrical power of 50 Watts/24 hours with
peaks up to 300 Watts for a maximum of 2 hours/day. The technical
demands for all parts of the equipment are very high. What does not
correspond is not going to be launched. In addition there was a tight time
table for the realization of the project.
