[amsat-bb] LAPAN A-2

[Hector W5CBF/CO6CBF]

Hi Alan and Red

It is  very exciting to have a bird 10 times in the day, even more when it
has a 5W downlink. 

Hopefully, this bird and FOX 's will bring back AO-51 's epoch.

73!
Hector, CO6CBF/W5CBF

Red,

At 36N in EM65, the best pass I could find was a -1.4 degree elevation.  All
the rest were worse.
Looks like our friends to the south are going to have their very own
satellite.

Just for fun I ran Tampa and it gives well over 2 hours a day of coverage.
I bet Hector will be pleased.  Hi Hi!

73s,

Alan

<I loaded the pre-launch keps for LAPAN-A2 that were provided here:
<http://www.amsat.org/?p=4571

<Using the SatPC32 Tracking, Preview menus, I was in the footprint on a
<couple of passes. The max elevation was less than one degree on one pass
<and less then two degrees on the other. I am located at 33.323 N <latitude.
When they revise those keps, if the inclination turns out to <be higher than
was indicated in the preliminary keps, there is a chance <that I may be able
to use that satellite, especially since it is running
<5 watts.
