OT / Proposed Earth-Venus-Earth attempt at ISEC
Re-sending with clarifying edits at the suggestion of multiple VCF members. Please excuse the repeat bandwidth. ------------------------------------------ A team compromised of CDL Members is providing technology support for a proposed Earth-Venus-Earth communications attempt at ISEC, The InfoAge Space Exploration Center. Link: http://www.isec.space For those not familiar with ISEC, this is the site with the 60 foot dish antenna at 2300 Marconi Road in Wall Township, NJ. ISEC is adjacent to the VCF museum at InfoAge. * * *WHAT IS THE EVE25 PROJECT PROPOSAL?* * Earth – Venus – Earth (EVE) a radio communication attempt via a signal reflected from the planet Venus. * WHEN WILL THE ATTEMPT BE MADE? * * The Weekend of March 23, 2025. This is when Venus will be at closest distance to the Earth * GOALS OF THE EVE25 PROJECT * * Create excitement and awareness around ISEC and promote the ISEC Mission. * Build interest in new members joining InfoAge / ISEC and existing members to participate in science experiments. * Help solicit new donations to ISEC. * OBJECTIVES OF THE EVE25 PROJECT * * Test the ability to send and receive using digital algorithms (i.e Q65 mode) signals via reflection off other of another planet (Venus). * Establish and complete digital QSO with another station. * Use the EVE25 project to teach STEM classes with first hand example and build interest in Astronomy and Science. * Establish connections to other astronomy groups with similar capabilities. * LOCATIONS PARTICIPATING * * The InfoAge Space Exploration Center, ISEC https://isec.space/ * Deep Space Exploration Society, DSES, https://dses.science/ * The Bochum Observatory https://www.sternwarte-bochum.de/ This is an initial query to gauge the interest level of the various member groups (or their individual members ) at InfoAge before posting information about the attempt in the public arena. Please reply off-list if interested to reduce list clutter! Martin Flynn Trustee, W2CDL
Martin, Only speaking for myself, of course, I don't think you need to apologize for using this mailing list for this completely cool topic. EVE25 sounds totally awesome!!!! Thanks for bringing it to our attention. Chris On Fri, May 17, 2024 at 8:51 PM Martin A. Flynn via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
