    NASA Selects Global Tracking Volunteers for Artemis II Lunar Mission

    NASA has selected 34 volunteer organizations and individuals from around the world to help track the Orion spacecraft during the upcoming crewed Artemis
    II mission, which will carry four astronauts on a journey around the Moon.
    The selected participants include commercial service providers, universities, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and individual amateur radio operators, reflecting a broad international collaboration supporting humanityrCOs return to deep space.


    While NASArCOs Near Space Network and Deep Space Network will provide primary communications and navigation support, the volunteers will passively track radio signals transmitted by Orion during its approximately 10-day mission. Participants were chosen from proposals submitted in August 2025. They will submit tracking data to NASA for analysis, helping the agency evaluate
    broader aerospace and amateur radio tracking capabilities. No funding is exchanged as part of this collaborative effort.


    rCLThis is a real step toward SCaNrCOs commercial-first vision,rCY said Kevin Coggins, NASArCOs deputy associate administrator for Space Communications and Navigation (SCaN). rCLBy inviting external organizations to demonstrate their capabilities during a human spaceflight mission, werCOre strengthening the marketplace werCOll rely on as we explore farther into the solar system. This isnrCOt about tracking one mission, but about building a resilient, public-private ecosystem that will support the Golden Age of innovation and exploration.rCY

    The initiative builds on a similar effort during Artemis I in 2022, when 10 volunteers successfully tracked Orion and provided valuable lessons on data formatting, quality, and standards compliance. For Artemis II, SCaN now requires all submitted tracking data to meet its system standards. Public interest has increased significantly, with about 47 ground assets across 14 countries expected to support the mission.


    Amateur radio organizations and enthusiasts are well represented in the selected group. Participants include AMSAT Argentina, AMSAT Deutschland, the Amateur Radio Exploration Ground Station Consortium, CAMRAS in the
    Netherlands, the Deep Space Exploration Society in Colorado, and several individual operators, including Scott Tilley of Canada. Their involvement highlights the growing technical capability of the global amateur radio community to contribute meaningfully to deep-space missions.


    Although NASA has formally selected a limited group to submit official
    tracking data, anyone with appropriate equipment can attempt to track Artemis II independently, either by monitoring OrionrCOs radio emissions or by observing the spacecraft optically with a telescope during its trans-lunar coast. NASA has emphasized that it is simply accepting data from a designated group and is not restricting independent observation. For amateur astronomers and radio operators alike, Artemis II offers a rare opportunity to witness
    rCo and participate in rCo humanityrCOs return to deep-space exploration.

    ThailandrCOs KNACKSAT-2 CubeSat Preparing for Deployment from the ISS

    ThailandrCOs KNACKSAT-2 satellite is preparing for deployment from the International Space Station, with release currently scheduled for February 3, 2026 at 08:55 UTC (03:55 AM EST). The mission continues ThailandrCOs university-led CubeSat development program following the earlier KNACKSAT-1 mission. The project is led by King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok in Thailand, working with domestic and international partners to advance satellite engineering, payload integration, and on-orbit operations. The deployment is expected to be viewable live online via the project livestream at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB4PIOS-hSs.


    KNACKSAT-2 was transported to the International Space Station in late 2025
    and is a 3U CubeSat designed to host multiple payloads. The satellite expands on KNACKSAT-1, which demonstrated ThailandrCOs ability to design and build a satellite domestically. Development and testing were conducted in cooperation with NBSPACE and other academic and research partners. The mission is
    intended to help Thailand develop multi-payload CubeSat platforms and prepare for future ride-share launch opportunities.


    The satellite carries both educational and research payloads. Non-amateur missions include an Earth imaging camera, a store-and-forward IoT data collection system for remote sensors, ultraviolet radiation measurement instrumentation, and in-orbit evaluation of space-qualified components. These payloads are part of broader national workforce development programs coordinated through the Thai Space Consortium and academic partner networks. The satellite will be operated in orbit using ground stations located in Thailand.

    platform for in-orbit technology demonstration. [Credit: PMUC<https://pmuc.or.th/>]


    KNACKSAT-2 also supports amateur radio operations through an APRS digipeater payload developed in cooperation with the Radio Amateur Society of Thailand. The amateur payload operates using coordinated frequencies through the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) satellite frequency coordination process. The APRS digipeater system uses 145.825 MHz for uplink and downlink using FSK modulation at 9600 bps with AX.25 framing. The amateur satellite callsign assigned to the mission is HS|yK.


    In addition to amateur payloads, the spacecraft transmits engineering
    telemetry on 400.630 MHz using FSK at 9600 bps with AX.25 framing and a one-minute beacon interval. Following deployment, project coordinators have requested assistance from the monitoring community to receive, decode, and submit telemetry reports from the 400.630 MHz downlink, which is outside the amateur radio allocation. Many satellite observers actively search for newly deployed spacecraft and contribute reception reports, helping mission teams verify spacecraft health and early on-orbit performance. The satellite is expected to rotate in orbit, and ground stations are recommended to use circular polarization, with RHCP preferred, to improve reception reliability.

    KNACKSAT-2 continues the growing trend of university-driven satellite
    programs contributing technical capability, education, and operational experience to the global amateur satellite community. University-built satellites are playing an increasing role in expanding access to space while supporting educational outreach and new opportunities for amateur radio experimentation.

    Open.Space Phased Array Project Targets Low-Cost EME for Hams

    An upcoming open-source hardware project called Open.Space aims to lower the barrier to Earth-Moon-Earth (EME) communications for amateur radio operators
    by using a modular, software-defined phased-array system instead of
    traditional large dish antennas. EME, or moonbounce, involves transmitting a signal toward the Moon, reflecting it off the lunar surface, and receiving it back on Earth. Historically, this has required large high-gain antennas, high-power transmitters, and precise mechanical tracking, putting it out of reach for many amateurs.


    Open.Space proposes using electronically steerable phased arrays built from small, low-cost software-defined radio (SDR) tiles. A phased array combines
    the signals from many small antennas using precise timing delays, allowing radio beams to be steered electronically without motors or moving parts. This enables rapid tracking, improved interference rejection, and compact, low-profile installations. A familiar consumer example of phased-array technology is the flat-panel antenna used by Starlink satellite internet terminals.


    At the core of the system is the Open.Space Quad tile, a 4-antenna SDR module covering 4.9 to 6.0 GHz in the C-band. Each tile supports 40 MHz of bandwidth using an 8-bit ADC and delivers about 1 watt of transmit power per antenna.
    The tiles can operate as standalone 4|u4 MIMO SDRs for RF experimentation, direction finding, or digital communications, or they can be combined into larger phased-array structures.

    [https://www.amsat.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Open_Space_Mini_Phased_Array_Infographic-1024x486.jpg]<https://www.amsat.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/Open_Space_Mini_Phased_Array_Infographic.jpg>
    The Open.Space<https://open.space/> Mini phased array uses 18 Quad tiles to form a compact, electronically steerable antenna system. [Credit: Open.Space<https://open.space/>]


    Multiple tiles can be assembled into phased arrays using a modular lattice frame. The rCLMinirCY starter array consists of 18 tiles, totaling 72
    antennas. It is expected to provide roughly 34 dBi of gain, about 52.6 dBW of EIRP, and up to 60 degrees of electronic beam steering. While the Mini configuration is not large enough for moonbounce, it is intended for
    learning, experimentation, satellite downlinks, and long-range directional links.


    For full EME capability, Open.Space proposes the rCLMoonrCY array, built from 60 tiles and 240 antennas in a one-meter-wide aperture. This configuration is expected to deliver around 39.3 dBi of gain and 63.1 dBW of EIRP, making moonbounce experiments feasible. Additional planned applications include
    radio astronomy, RF imaging, and advanced phased-array research.


    One of the most notable aspects of the project is its proposed cost in U.S. dollars. Individual tiles are expected to sell for approximately $49 to $99 USD. The Mini array is projected at $899 to $1,499 USD, and the Moon array at $2,499 to $4,999 USDrCosignificantly less than traditional EME hardware
    setups. The Open.Space hardware has not yet been released, but the project website lists March 2026 as the expected shipping date. The developers note that the system is not intended for radar applications due to export-control restrictions. Those interested can sign up on the Open.Space<https://open.space/> website to receive email updates when the hardware becomes available.

    Changes to AMSAT TLE Distribution for January 30, 2026

    Two Line Elements or TLEs, often referred to as Keplerian elements or keps in the amateur community, are the inputs to the SGP4 standard mathematical model of spacecraft orbits used by most amateur tracking programs. Weekly updates
    are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. TLE bulletin files are updated daily in the first hour of the UTC day. New bulletin files will be posted immediately after reliable elements become available for new amateur satellites. More information may be found at https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/<https://www.amsat.org/keplerian-elements-resources/>.

    An alternate source for TLE for IO-86 has been identified, and it has been re-added to the AMSAT TLE distribution.


    The following satellite has been removed from this week's AMSAT TLE distribution:

    Satellite Shorts from All Over

    + AMSAT-HB has announced the dates for the next edition of the HB9RG Trophy, which will take place from March 2 through March 15, 2026. The competition commemorates the first amateur radio satellite contact achieved on March 10, 1965, by Hans Rudolf Lauber, HB9RG, and Alfons H|nring, DL6EZA, a milestone
    in amateur satellite communications. Organizers report that the event will return following strong international participation and enthusiastic feedback from previous editions of the Trophy. Based on participant input, AMSAT-HB is currently revising the competition rules to improve fairness, accessibility, and the overall operating experience. These adjustments are intended to
    better reflect the needs and operating practices of the global satellite amateur radio community. Complete rules, participation procedures, and event updates are available on the AMSAT-HB website at https://www.amsat-hb.org/hb9rg_trophy.

    + Blue Origin successfully completed the 38th flight of its New Shepard suborbital vehicle on January 22, marking the programrCOs first mission of 2026. The mission, designated NS-38, launched from Blue OriginrCOs Launch
    Site One in West Texas during a morning launch window. The flight carried six people on a brief suborbital journey above the K|irm|in line, the internationally recognized boundary of space. The crew included Tim Drexler, Dr. Linda Edwards, Alain Fernandez, Alberto Guti|-rrez, Jim Hendren, and Dr. Laura Stiles. Stiles joined the mission shortly before launch after another crew member was unable to fly due to illness. With this flight, New Shepard
    has now flown 98 people to space. New Shepard is Blue OriginrCOs operational human spaceflight system and serves as a testbed for reusable launch technologies and crewed operations. The program continues to support Blue OriginrCOs long-term goals for expanding human access to space. (ANS thanks Blue Origin<https://www.blueorigin.com/> for the above information)


    + For 21 years, from 1999 to 2020, millions of volunteers worldwide used
    their home computers to support SETI@home<https://setiathome.berkeley.edu/>, one of the largest citizen-science efforts ever conducted. Operated by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, the project analyzed radio data from the Arecibo Observatory and identified roughly 12 billion signals of interest. After a decade of follow-up analysis, researchers
    narrowed those detections to about one million candidates and then to 100 signals worthy of further investigation. Since July 2025, those targets have been reobserved using ChinarCOs Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope, or FAST radio telescope, which has eight times the collecting area of Arecibo. While researchers do not expect these signals to be extraterrestrial in origin, the results helped establish new sensitivity
    limits for large-scale SETI searches. Scientists say the projectrCOs biggest legacy may be the lessons learned about filtering radio-frequency
    interference and designing future all-sky technosignature surveys. (ANS
