[aprssig] APRS Email from Space! (ET Phone Home)

[Robert Bruninga]

Yesterday I received the first amateur email from space.  PSAT2 is
programmed to send me an Email via APRS about once a day reporting its
health.  This email was captured by VK6HAM ground station in Australia and
forwarded to me:



Email from PSAT2:  PSAT2 reporting Home [004960,0I801]{019



It did not happen automatically because it looks like we didn’t put enough
spaces to pad out the callsign to the required 9 character callsign field.
ARGH!

Is there anyone else out there who has EMAIL forwarding code that would be
willing to look for these incorrect formatted Emails on the APRS-IS and
automatically email them to me?



This is an exciting capability to demonstrate for Ham radio and amateur
satellites.  I’d like to see it work.



Email me and I can give you the details.



Bob, WB4APR
