ARLA/CLUSTER: 1 de Maio - MMSSTV EME ao vivo no Google+ hangout

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

Ham Radio Earth-Moon-Earth Art Event on Google+ Hangout

*OPTICKS* is a live radio transmission performance between the Earth and
the Moon during which images are sent to the Moon and back as radio signals
using the MMSSTV Slow San TV software developed by Makoto Mori JE3HHT

A live Google+ hangout is taking place on May 1 at 2000 UT. A Reddit AMA
will precede the Hangout at 1500 UT.

The project has been realized by visual artist Daniela de
Paulis<http://www.danieladepaulis.com/>
 (IT/NL) in collaboration with Jan van Muijlwijk PA3FXB and the CAMRAS
radio amateurs association based at Dwingeloo radio telescope (NL).
Each live performance is made possible thanks to the collaboration of radio
amateurs Howard Ling G4CCH (UK), Bruce Halász PY2BS (Brazil) and Daniel
Gautschi HB9CRQ (CH).

The live hangout will feature a “touch� and bounce of Humans in Space Youth
Art Competition artwork off the Moon using OPTICKS<http://www.opticks.info/>
 radio wave technology. Guests and remote participants will discuss the
significance of the artwork and the performance and explore the impact of
past, present, and future human presence on the Moon.

Guests
- Andrew Chaikin is the author of Man on the Moon and From Earth to the
Moon.
- Wendell Mendell is a retired NASA lunar and planetary exploration
scientist.

OPTICKS employes a technology used by radio amateurs called
Earth-Moon-Earth or Moonbounce in which the Moon is used as a natural
reflector for radio signals.

In October 2009 Daniela de Paulis and Jan van Muijlwijk PA3FXB started
pioneering a new application of Moonbounce technology, called Visual
Moonbounce, which allows sending images to the Moon and back, combining
Radio Astronomy with amateur radio technologies.

The title OPTICKS is inspired by Newton’s discoveries of the light
spectrum, reflection and refraction. Similarly, the colours composing an
image – converted into radio signals – are bounced off the Moon (reflected
and refracted) by its surface during each live performance.

The performance is introduced by live sounds of amateurs radio signals
captured by the Dwingeloo antenna tracking the moon.
