The Story of Suitsat-1 and Arissat-1
The Story of SuitSat-1 and ARISSat-1 My mother is 94 years old. That perhaps seems an unimportant piece of information; however, think about what she has seen in her lifetime. As a young girl growing up in Chicago milk was delivered by horse drawn wagons. Children played a multitude of outdoor games. My mom being somewhat of a “tomboy” climbed trees, played baseball with her brother and his friends, and leaped over fences. On occasion when they wanted to go downtown they would simply hop onto the back of a passing horse drawn wagon. They raised rabbits in their back yard and were occasionally thrilled when a strange aircraft came soaring just above them, the pilot leaning out, yelling and waving at them and tossing out candy! And what a thrill it was to ride in her uncle’s new car. Unfortunately her mother made them all get out and walk when her thrill seeking brother sped up to a frightening 30 miles per hour! My how the world has changed in those short 94 years. Do you see many children today playing out in the street or yard? No, they’re probably inside watching television, talking on the phone, or sitting in front of a computer catching up on the latest chat room gossip. Walking? That is no longer popular. Everyone has to ride in a car even if it’s to visit a neighbor 3 blocks down the street. And planes? The evolution of the plane has been mind spinning. From a small one seater to a monster carrying 300 passengers. -

SSC09-XII-03 The Promise of Innovation from University Space Systems: Are We Meeting It? Michael Swartwout St. Louis University 3450 Lindell Boulevard St. Louis, Missouri 63103; (314) 977-8240 [email protected] ABSTRACT A popular notion among universities is that we are innovation-drivers in the staid, risk-adverse spacecraft industry – we are to professional small satellites what small satellites are to the “battlestars”. By contrast, professional industry takes a much different perspective on university-class spacecraft; these programs are good for attracting students to space and providing valuable pre-career training, but the actual flight missions are ancillary, even unimportant. Which opinion is correct? Both are correct. The vast majority of the 111 student-built spacecraft that have flown have made no innovative contributions. That is not to say that they have been without contribution. In addition to the inarguable benefits to education, many have served as radio Amateur communications, science experiments and even technological demonstrations. But “innovative”? Not so much. However, there have been two innovative contributors, whose contributions are large enough to settle the question: the University of Surrey begat SSTL, which helped create the COTS-based small satellite industry. Stanford and Cal Poly begat CubeSats, whose contributions are still being created today. This paper provides an update to our earlier submissions on the history of student-built spacecraft. Major trends identified in previous years will be re-examined with new data -- especially the bifurcation between larger-scale, larger-scope "flagship" programs and small-scale, reduced-mission "independents". In particular, we will demonstrate that the general history of student-built spacecraft has not been one of innovation, nor of development of new space systems -- with those few, extremely noteworthy, exceptions. -
Repeaters, Satellites, EME and Direction Finding 23
Repeaters, Satellites, EME and Direction Finding 23 Repeaters his section was written by Paul M. Danzer, N1II. In the late 1960s two events occurred that changed the way radio amateurs communicated. The T first was the explosive advance in solid state components — transistors and integrated circuits. A number of new “designed for communications” integrated circuits became available, as well as improved high-power transistors for RF power amplifiers. Vacuum tube-based equipment, expensive to maintain and subject to vibration damage, was becoming obsolete. At about the same time, in one of its periodic reviews of spectrum usage, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mandated that commercial users of the VHF spectrum reduce the deviation of truck, taxi, police, fire and all other commercial services from 15 kHz to 5 kHz. This meant that thousands of new narrowband FM radios were put into service and an equal number of wideband radios were no longer needed. As the new radios arrived at the front door of the commercial users, the old radios that weren’t modified went out the back door, and hams lined up to take advantage of the newly available “commer- cial surplus.” Not since the end of World War II had so many radios been made available to the ham community at very low or at least acceptable prices. With a little tweaking, the transmitters and receivers were modified for ham use, and the great repeater boom was on. WHAT IS A REPEATER? Trucking companies and police departments learned long ago that they could get much better use from their mobile radios by using an automated relay station called a repeater. -
