12 of April all people in Russia will 50th annivesary of 1st flight of man in Space. Here are some AMSAT news:
The transmissions will begin on Monday 11 April 2011 at 14:30 UTC and continue until 10:30 UTC on 13 April 2011. Due to the fact that the solar panels are covered, the satellite will be powered only by the onboard battery. The satellite will run in low power mode. This means that the transmissions will cycle ON/OFF. They will be On for 40-60 seconds and Off for 2 minutes. The FM transmissions on 145.95 MHz will contain an ID for the satellite, call sign RS01S, international greeting messages, spoken telemetry values and SSTV images. There will also be CW transmitted on 145.919 MHz and SSB BPSK-1000 telemetry data on 145.920 MHz. ARISSatTLM software can be used with a computer soundcard to tune, receive, demodulate, decode and display the telemetry values if tuned correctly.
AMSAT will issue commemorative certificates to those receiving the transmissions and sending an email to gagarin@arissat1.org or yuri@arissat1.org with your name or group, a description of what you heard and the UTC time you heard it. Recording the Battery voltage values and the UTC time you received them will be especially helpful.
