On the 03:25 UTC pass on January
26, 2018, AMSAT Vice President - Engineering Jerry Buxton, N0JY, announced
that AO-92 had been commissioned and formally turned the satellite over to
AMSAT Operations. AMSAT Vice President - Operations Drew Glasbrenner,
KO4MA, then declared that AO-92 was now open for amateur
use.
Initially, the U/v FM transponder will be open continuously for
a period of one week. After the first week, operations will be
scheduled between the U/v FM transponder, L-Band Downshifter, Virginia
Tech Camera, and the University of Iowa's High Energy Radiation
CubeSat Instrument (HERCI).
Schedule updates will appear in the AMSAT
News Service Weekly Bulletins and will also be posted to the AMSAT-BB,
AMSAT's Twitter account (@AMSAT), the AMSAT North America Facebook group, and
the AMSAT website at
https://www.amsat.org/satellite-schedules/AO-92
was launched on the PSLV-C40 mission from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in
Sriharikota, India on January 12, 2018. For the past two weeks, the AMSAT
Engineering and Operations teams have been testing the various modes and
experiments on board. Testing has shown that both the U/v FM transponder and
L-Band Downshifter work very well. The Virginia Tech camera has returned
stunning photos and data from HERCI has been successfully
downlinked.
AMSAT thanks the 178 stations worldwide that have used
FoxTelem to collect telemetry and experiment data from AO-92 during
the commissioning process. The collection of this data is crucial to
the missions of AMSAT's Fox-1 satellites. Please continue to collect
data from AO-85, AO-91, and AO-92.
