Did anyone else get an email from #AmbaSat saying that a rocket launch to space is happen in 2Q 2025 and to test your board with the dashboard?

It shows a #Skyrora XL launch vehicle in the UK.

The Villanova CubeSat Club balloon payload was recovered by Pavel in North East Philadelphia about 1.5 hours after launch. He chased it down then called my number from the “Harmless Scientific Experiment” label stuck on the outside.

AMSAT CubeSat Simulator kits will be available at #Hamvention next week, and on the #AMSAT Store in June for a suggested donation of $400.

The kit has three custom PCBs fully assembled and tested and the Pi Zero and Pico. You just need to solder pin headers on the sensors and solder wires to the solar panels, and assemble the 3D printed frame.

The kits will ship to US addresses.

We flew this #APRS transmitter that has a GPS module and transmits at 144.39 MHz. It is also based on the #CubeSatSim.

We flew this last year on our high altitude balloon but forgot to replace the batteries, so it ran out of power early in the flight.

The GPS should work up to 100,000 ft. You can see the dipole antenna on the right side.

The APRS antenna is a 2m J-pole made out of twin lead.

Next is the SSTV transmitter.

This payload has a GPS module for tracking which will probably only work up to 20,000 feet altitude.

It will be powered with three AA Energizer Max batteries.

The antenna is a 70cm J-pole made with twin lead.

Next payload is an APRS transmitter that we flew last year.
