Hello Brian,
Files TELEMENG.ZIP and TELEMFRA.ZIP are the english version of ARSENE
satellite real time telemetry decoding programs. They concern packet
radio and work under DOS. Here are the first lines of documentation
file.
T E L E M
version 1.4e
ARSENE satellite telemetry decoding package
by Frederic Rible fc1oat @ f6abj.frpa.fra.eu
(documentation for version 1.4e by Bernard Pidoux, f6bvp)
This software is distributed free of charge by:
ATEPRA
Association Technique pour l'Experimentation du Packet RadioAmateur
23, rue de Provins
F-77520 Mons-en-Montois
France.
If you want to support ARSENE project you can send your donation to ATEPRA
or RACE association.
ARSENE is a mini satellite built by french RACE radio amateur organization.
Its mass is 158 Kg and its orbit 20 000 - 36 000 Km with zero degrees
inclination. The output power is 15 Watts on VHF.
It has three AX25 standard 1200 bauds AFSK FM packet transponders with three
uplink frequencies on 435.050-435.100-435.150 Mhz.
The frequency of the downlink and of the AX25 beacon is 145.975 Mhz.
This beacon will send telemetry giving the status of radio modules
and electrical equipments aboard the satellite.
Hardware requirements for copying the telemetry in real time:
A VHF FM receiver, a standard packet Terminal Node Controler with no special
modem (i.e. bell 202 standard) a PC with serial port connected to the TNC
using 8 wires ( wires 2 to 8 plus wire 20). Signal strengh should make
ARSENE easy to copy with a 145 MHz yagi antenna with 13 dB gain. Although
signal is transmitted with vertical linear polarisation, a circular
polarisation receiving antenna could be better.
This real time telemetry decoding program will run with any color graphic
adaptator. The monitor can be black and white but, of course, full colors
effects will not be performed unless a CGA, EGA or VGA monitor is used.
