 --------------------------------------------------------------

1月27日(木) 03:03UTC に、JAWSatを初めとする次のいくつかの新しい衛星
が打ち上げられました。以下、時系列を追いながら、関連したメールを紹介
します。衛星OPALを製作した、米国スタンフォード大学から私宛ての直接の
メールも含まれています。

1月27日(03:03UTC)に打ち上げられたばかりの新衛星OPALからのビーコンを、
本日(1/29)の 17:36-17:50JST(08:36-08:50UTC)のパスにおいて、WiSP3213
を用いて受信し、そのKISSログを取りました。  > Tnx. JJ1WTK

受信周波数は公表の 437.100MHzです。(437.108-437.092MHz, 9600bps FSK)
この OPALからのビーコンは、10秒ごとに 38バイトずつのパケットで送信さ
れていることがわかりました。

The new satellites OPAL etc. were launced at 03:03UTC, Jan 27, 2000.
I received today, Jan 29, 08:36-08:50UTC(17:36-17:50JST), the strong
signals from OPAL with WiSP3213.

OPAL

Downlink frequency is 437.100MHz (437.108-437.092MHz, 9600bps FSK).
I noticed that the beacon was transmitted 38bytes every 10 seconds.

I put this raw KISS logfile and WiSP image in my Home Page below.

Dear Mineo,

Looks like you got an excellent download of beacon data from
Opal.  That's far better than we've been able to due with our
system here at Stanford.  What transceiver are you using?  Did
you just use standard Doppler shift calculations?  We are working
diligently on ground station trying to obtain better reception
of Opal.  We have only been able to connect briefly twice.

Thanks again for the data.

Hello Jamie,

Yes, I had just exactly used standard Doppler shift calculations
for OPAL.  Such as,

       AOS  437.108MHz
       TCA  437.100
       LOS  437.092     etc.

What is the "Broadcast callsign" and "BBS call sign" for OPAL
I need this for Satellite set up in Wisp32

Hello Selvadurai,

You will get ONLY kiss file in your PC with WiSP32 without the 
setting up of "Broadcast callsign" and "BBS call sign" for OPAL.
But you must check in GSC such as

    GSC - Setup - Satellite Setup - OPAL - Edit - 
      - MSPE Settings - Log Kiss frames
                        Log telemetry frames - OK
   (again)- MSPE Settings - Log Kiss frames
                            Log telemetry frames - OK

を訪ねて、OPALとは「Orbiting Picosatellite Automated Launcher」の略
で、米国スタンフォード大学製作の衛星であることを知りました。 今から
5年前の 1995年4月初旬にこのプロジェクトが開始されたそうです。

周波数に関しては、JJ1WTK坂本氏の情報をまとめると次のようです。
今日現在、衛星OPALからのビーコンのみ確認しています。(昨日投稿)

Last night and this morning (May 18, 2000) we sent reset signals to 
WO-39 JAWSAT.

If anyone hears it's beacons  on 437.070 and/or 437.175 MHZ please let
us know. We did not get any reply signals back from the satellite.

The beacons should be on for 30sec with 9600 bps GMSK modulation. A
telemetry packet is sent at the start and at the end of the 30 seconds.
The time between beacons is 90 seconds for 437.175 and 255 seconds for
437.070.

We are assuming that the WO-39 is object number 26061 but in case it
is not we also sent our reset signal to objects 26064 (FALCONSAT) and
26065 (ASUSAT). 
We also did not get a reply from those objects.
