This article will deal with Satellite hacking, CB info, and car phone systems.

Satellite Control
|
|
|
|
Companies try to build satellites to last for as long a time as possible.
|
|
Unfortunately, for the companies, things in space can happen unexpectantly and
|
|
suddently. Take that satellite released by the space shuttle. It's orbit
|
|
carried it way off the correct altitude. The company's only hope was to fire a
|
|
rocket on it in order to bring it to the correct place.
|
|
Now think...how does one on the ground fire a rocket in space? Radio!
|
|
Gee, if the company could change the orbit, maybe we can too. Sound
|
|
interesting?
|
|
Of course we were not the first to think of this. The satellite companies
|
|
have worried about this for a long time. There are stories about top secret
|
|
codes, frequencies, and protocols required to 'nudge' one of those babies.
|
|
The only problem is that-there is little information about this out there.
|
|
If you have any info, make a text file, and let others know of your knowledge.
|
|
But let me tell you all I know about a simple satellite whose telemetry is
|
|
known well.
|
|
OSCAR 6 was a satellite sent up in order to take in amateur signals
|
|
between 145.9 and 146.0 MHz, and re-transmit them between 29.45 and 29.55 MHz
|
|
using a transponder. Early in 1976, OSCAR 6 began to have battery problems.
|
|
The telemetry allowed the ground command stations to shut the satellite off at
|
|
regular intervals to prolong the useful life of the satellite.
|
|
Now we know the satellite sent out telemetry reports at a certain
|
|
frequency (OSCAR 7 was 29.502 and 145.972 MHz). And it sent them out in the
|
|
form of Morse code at about 20 wpm. Information rate of spin, power use, and
|
|
temperature were sent out at 20 wpm. This seems to suggest that the control
|
|
might have also used morse code. Strangely enough, there was never any
|
|
information in the American Radio Relay League magazine about just how they
|
|
control the OSCAR satellites. (Hams know what's safe and what's crazy also)
|
|
|
|
Suggestions: Don't overlook RTTY when trying to Satelhack (Satellite
|
|
hacking). Also, chances are the owners will figure out what you did, so
|
|
'downing', the ultimate for a satelhack, is pretty difficult.
