JY1SAT CubeSat

Sunday, December 2, 2018 should see two more satellites carrying FUNcube
payloads launched into orbit.

With that launch, JY1Sat and ESEO will join FUNcube-1 (AO-73) and Nayif-1
(EO-88).

The FUNcube team have been busy, not only designing and implementing the
payloads, but also working on the Telemetry Dashboards and the Data
Warehouse.

Each satellite has a dedicated dashboard and we have created a one page
summary (FUNcube Dashboard Summary v1) of those dashboards, their current
version number and a dedicated download link.

Telemetry Dashboard

We have included the recommended warehouse settings for each satellite as
well as the FCD Centre Frequency. Note that the frequency we quote is 20
kHz offset from the published telemetry downlink to allow for the zero
Hertz spike and close in phase noise that is inherent on SDRs.

Currently, to view the telemetry for a particular satellite, it is
necessary to run the dashboard for that satellite. Any telemetry for one of
the other FUNcube satellites can be captured and forwarded to the central
data warehouse. For this reason, some users tend to run all dashboards
simultaneously using the same FUNcube Dongle. Users should remember the
that dashboard that was started last, is the one that will control the
frequency settings applied to the FUNcube Dongle.

These dashboards are under continual development and the next planned
development is to create a single dashboard that will service all FUNcube
Telemetry payloads simultaneously. Keep a look out for further news on this
unified dashboard in 2019.

Telemetry Data Warehouse

All telemetry received via the dashboards is forwarded to the central data
warehouse, providing you have registered for an account. This has been a
very successful part of the FUNcube project as it has allowed for worldwide
data collection by amateurs and for all the data to be available to
download and used for educational purposes.

With the pending launch of two additional satellites, some changes where
required to allow this data capture to continue in an efficient manner. The
data warehouse has a new user interface and all satellite data can be
assessed with one URL http://data.amsat-uk.org/

Once at the new user interface, simply select the satellite you are
interested in, and all the usual telemetry will be available along with the
list of current data providers to the database for that satellite.

Both the dashboards and the data warehouse are under continual development,
so be sure to check back for updates.

The FUNcube team is very grateful to all radio amateurs worldwide for their
continued support and we encourage you all to join in with the reception of
JY1Sat and ESEO telemetry upon a successful launch this Sunday.
