Space Shuttle Monitoring

[rad1oreference]

What frequencies over Mass are you monitoring for the Endeavor Launch?

You might hear a little UHF Air - check the Space Monitoring forum here.

Not so much for the launch, but for the fly-over(s) try these for FM voice:

• Downlink 145.800
• Uplink 144.490

Hope this helps...

Those aren't used on shuttle missions anymore, they only do ham ops from the space station.

don't forget that you can listen on RR live feeds to continuous communications of Kennedy Space Center
this is a stereo feed, with the left channel being VHF/UHF comms, and the right channel KSC trunked system.

Listen to: Florida_Brevard_KSC for live feed of Kennedy Space Center communications 24/7

if you have UHF capability, listen to AG-1 on 259.700 am mode.
you should be able to hear the Shuttle commander say "go at throttle up" , then "press to MECO(main engine cut off)"

I usually monitor the shuttle on ham radio on 449.300 KA6UAI from palomar observatory in San Diego County for retransmissions and sometimes I wll hear NASA related stuff on 447.800 and 449.975.

That's not "the shuttle" you are monitoring, just a rebroadcast of NASA TV.
