font-family:Tahoma'>Greetings to all,<br>
Normal operations are to be suspended.<br>
The ISS uplink frequency will be changed for the next two days.<br>
The downlink frequency is the same, 145.825 MHz FM<br>
A beacon is going to be broadcast every few seconds from the ISS during this
experiment.<br>
<br>
Only the assigned master ground stations are permitted to transmit to the ISS
during this period.<br>
<br>
Master stations in all countries should have all received instructions from
Valentin.<br>
You have your time tables for your transmission periods.<br>
<br>
I desparately need all Australian and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">New Zealand</st1:place></st1:country-region> stations RX logs for
the ISS for the next two days.<br>
<br>
SpEx Shadow experiment will be conducted during the following times,<br>
<br>
Experiment Times UTC<br>
<br>
12 of November UTC. <br>

13 of November UTC.<br>
9.30 - 8.41<br>
11.06 - 11.16<br>
<br>
For Australian Ground Monitor Stations in AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight
saving Time)<br>
AEDT applies to <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Victoria</st1:City>, <st1:State
w:st="on">Tasmania</st1:State></st1:place>, N.S.W.<br>

<br>
<st1:State w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">South Australia</st1:place></st1:State>

<br>
If you are unawares of this experiment, please see this old page for a fairly
quick understanding <br>
of what this is all about. The links are old and need updating, but the gist of
the story is still the same.<br>
http://www.qsl.net/vk3ukf/etshadowozindexqsl.html<br>
The page above mentions the old frequency 145.800, <br>
the current receive frequency for ISS is 145.825.<br>
<br>
The new links for the project are as follows.<br>

<br>
You don't have to be an amateur radio operator.<br>
Anyone that has the capability to receive and decode the Space Stations<br>
packet radio signals can do this.<br>
<br>
The links to download the receiving softwares,<br>
AGW packet engine.<br>
http://www.sv2agw.com/ham/agwpe.htm<br>
<br>
UISS space communications software.<br>
http://users.belgacom.net/hamradio/uisslinks.htm<br>
<br>
Spacecraft tracking software is not required, <br>
but is nice to have just to see where they are.<br>
There are many. I use David Taylors WxTrack.<br>
<br>
The project is to study the effects of the use of plasma engines in near Earth
proximity.<br>
These are the new generation of spacecraft propulsion.<br>
It is my hope that this technology keeps advancing<br>
to the point where we will need to hire some Scotty's and Captain Kirk's.<br>
<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
