NASA asked amateur radio operators’ aid

Jan. 19 at 11:30 a.m. EST:

Amateur ham operators are asked to listen for the signal to verify NanoSail-D is operating. This information should be sent to the NanoSail-D dashboard at: http://nanosaild.engr.scu.edu/dashboard.htm .
The NanoSail-D beacon signal can be found at 437.270 MHz.

NASA thanks:

Thanks to all the ham radio operators for their help in following NanoSail-D. A beacon signal has been received and NanoSail-D appears to be operating nominally and is scheduled to unfurl at 10 p.m. EST. The NASA team will confirm the sail has deployed with a ground based image as soon as it is available.

Tweets on NanoSailD’s Twitter channel:

PA3GUO published a very interesting video showing how to receive telemetry data from the satellite using SDR

…a suggestion for FunCube Dongle owners! ;)

PERSEUS REMOTE - Part 2

SDR over IP: beyond the borderline of technology

Using Perseus SDR though internet [not in remote desktop mode]

ENG - Technological “bi-localizations”. In the 1st video Giuseppe Campana, IK3VIG shows the remote operation of Nico Palermo IN3NWV’s Perseus via internet (TCP/IP). In the Part 2 is shown a testing session of CAT functions with BobCAT and Tmate connected to Marco Bruno IK1ODO’s server.

ITA - Bilocazioni tecnologiche. Nel primo video Giuseppe Campana, IK3VIG opera in remoto attraverso il Perseus di Nico Palermo, IN3NWV via rete internet (TCP/IP). Nel secondo è mostrata una sessione di prova delle funzioni CAT con BobCAT e Tmate connesso al server di Marco Bruno, IK1ODO.
