Operation Plan & Log 01/20/2019

Morning passes

9:09-9:21 (JST)
We tried to hear CW from all Object A-F, but we heard nothing.
Since there is no reception report after 4:42 (UTC) yesterday, we believe that our satellite has a problem transmitting signals.

10:44-10:53 (JST)
We tracked NEXUS with Object “F” TLE, for verification of our ground station.
We heard CW very clearly. So CW reception system for our ground station is functioning well.

We learned that foreign amateur radio operators received OrigamiSat-1’s CW signals!!! OrigamiSat-1 has an automatic reset function with checking the satellite status once a day. We believe that this is why the satellite has revived.


Evening passes

19:46-19:55 (JST)
We heard OrigamiSat-1’s CW signals very clearly for the first time! We used TLE for “2019-003B”.

We heard it so clear that we uplinked a command to require HK data in FM once. It seems that there was a response but we could not receive it. We will try again at 21:18 JST.
復旧にご協力をいただき本当にありがとうございました!!
今回,リセットがかかる原因となった不具合の究明に努めます.


21:18-21:30 (JST)

Heard clear CW. We have sent the commands 4 times.
1) To synchronize the satellite clock with ground station: once
– This should have had a echo back in FM.
2) To require house keeping data in FM: 3 times
– This should have had HK data downlink in FM.
but we could not receive any data using our ground station system.
Please let us know if you receive any data (through our reception report form in the following link).
We are guessing that we have something wrong in our ground station software. We are working to find the cause.
We plan to do similar operation tomorrow.
As soon as we successfully receive FM data downlink, we will test downlink in 5.8GHz, hopefully in a week.
もしFMデータ取得された皆様いらっしゃいましたらぜひ(下記リンクのフォームから)お送りいただけると幸いです.東工大地上局でもまずはFMデータを受信できるようトライします.
それができ次第,次に5.8GHzダウンリンクに挑戦です.
⇒FMダウンリンクデータ,さっそくお送りいただいています!! すごいです….
