- 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.

- 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.
