The\u00a0latest episode of the HAMRADIONOW.tv<\/a> program discussed the\u00a0Fox Project<\/a> at AMSAT-NA, which aims to build a “family of CubeSats with amateur radio transponders that can support advanced science experiments” for students : HamRadioNow – Episode 85: AMSAT Fox-1<\/a><\/p>\n

Getting a launch date for a new satellite<\/strong> \u2013 even a date more than a year out \u2013 is exciting at AMSAT<\/strong>. In this episode, we talk to a pair of AMSAT VP’s. Tony Montiero AA2TX<\/strong> handles Engineering, and Mark Hammond N8MH<\/strong> does Education. We talk about what Fox-1 will do (an FM crossband repeater that will also relay data from onboard science experiments). And we learn how AMSAT must transition from a bunch of hams who put up satellites that we can talk through, to a provider of the physical platform and communications for educational experiments for school grades K thru Post-Grad…. that also has transponders and repeaters that hams can use.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A WebSDR is a Software-Defined Radio receiver connected to the internet, allowing many listeners to listen and tune it simultaneously.<\/b> SDR technology makes it possible that all listeners tune independently, and thus listen to different<\/i> signals; this is in contrast to the many classical receivers that are already available via the internet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For example, the following site tracks several satellites and the ISS and has a “sat” setting for tuning them in: VHF\/UHF WebSDR on University of Technology Eindhoven – Maxwell Foundation <\/a>(Note the site requests permission to run a Java program in your browser.)<\/p>\n
