My goal is to make a contact with a sat this year either with this new sat or AO-51.

NASA TV to show arrival of ARISSat-1 at ISS
The arrival of the Russian Progress-41 flight carrying the ARISSat-1 Amateur Radio Experiment to the International Space Station will be televised live via NASA TV starting at 8PM CST (UTC-6) on Saturday, January 29.
The unpiloted flight of the Progress resupply craft is expected to automatically berth to the Pirs docking compartment at 8:40 p.m. CST.
Expedition 26 Commander Scott Kelly and Flight Engineers Cady Coleman, Paolo Nespoli, Alexander Kaleri, Oleg Skripochka and Dmitry Kondratyev will be standing by during the automated docking manuevers.
In addition to ARISSat-1, the cargo ship is carrying three tons of supplies for the crew members.
ARISSat engineers will be meeting with Russian EVA specialists in Houston on Tuesday, February 1 to prepare for the February 16 deployment of the satellite.

Hi Wallyhts,My goal is to make a contact with a sat this year either with this new sat or AO-51.
AMSAT - The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation
I have over 100 satellite contacts using a portable set up, an Arrow 2M, 90 CM antenna and a Yeasu HT.
I use AO-27, AO-51 and SO-50. I stop making contacts because of the cold weather in NJ.

Bummer...Deployment of ARISSat-1 delayed until July. It will be activated onboard ISS on April 12th however. Here are the details.
ARISSat-1 to be activated April 12
The Russian Federal Space Agency reports that the Amateur Radio satellite ARISSat-1
will be activated April 12 on 145.950MHz FM
to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first human space flight.
ARISSat-1 is also known as Kedr, the callsign of Cosmonaut Yury Gagarin on his historic flight.
The satellite is currently inside the International Space Station (ISS) and will be connected to an Amateur Radio antenna mounted on the ISS for the commemorative transmission. It is planned to deploy the satellite during a space walk in July.

ARISSat-1 Amateur Radio Satellite Deployment To Be Carried Live on NASA TV
NASA will have live coverage of the spacewalk that will see the deployment of the amateur radio satellite ARISSat-1/KEDR.
Two cosmonauts will conduct a six-hour spacewalk on Wednesday, August 3, to continue outfitting the Russian segment of the International Space Station. NASA Television will broadcast the spacewalk beginning at 9 a.m. CDT.
Expedition 28 Russian Flight Engineers Sergei Volkov and Alexander Samokutyaev will install laser communications equipment and replace experiments on the Zvezda service module. They also will retrieve a rendezvous antenna, relocate a boom structure to aid future spacewalks and deploy a small satellite equipped with an amateur radio transmitter and a student-built experiment.
The duo will wear Russian Orlan spacesuits and will emerge from the Pirs docking compartment airlock at about 9:30 a.m. The spacewalk will be the third for Volkov, who performed two spacewalks as Expedition 17 commander in 2008. This will be the first spacewalk for Samokutyaev.

Deployment Delayed
Deployment delayed once again due to an antenna problem.
Guess you'll have to wait a little longer to get that Arrow out Mike!

Update: The UHF antenna is missing. Photos here:
ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf-V Arrives at Baikonur
There are supposed to be two antennas on this satellite. The taller VHF one on top and the shorter UHF one on the bottom. It's hard to believe they didn't check everything over before attempting deployment. I wish I would have monitored for SSTV signals last weekend when they were testing it.

Signals have been very good. Listen on 145.950 voice, slow scan tv and info on satellite health (via voice). Tracking info from N2YO or Heavans Above sites.
Fun. Following behind the ISS in orbit. Expect some fading since it was hand launched and is tumbling.

Well the 2m antenna is ok but they think the 70cm may have been torn off by accident... However enough it apparently is there that the linear transponder is working to a fashion. In any case it's pretty cool
I was hoping to catch a pass that wasn't in the middle of the night or at the crack of dawn, but may not be so lucky for a while.-Mike
