<div dir="ltr"><h1 style="box-sizing:border-box;font-size:16pt;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">New amateur radio satellite guidance for Brazil</h1><p style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:16px">Brazil's National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) has published a new webpage providing regulatory information for small amateur radio satellites<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">IARU Region 2 say:<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">According to Anatel, the reductions in the cost of manufacturing and launching small and non-geostationary satellites increased the national demand for this technology, requiring the creation of a guide to orient those interested in Brazil.<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">The Brazilian National Amateur Radio Association (LABRE) was consulted during the first phase of the guide development and received the support of its Space Communications (LABRE/AMSAT-BR) and Spectrum Defense and Management (LABRE/GDE) working groups.<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">LABRE stressed the need to respect the precepts and scopes of each telecommunication service as specified in ITU, reinforcing the principles of the Amateur Radio Service, as well as the need to observe regulations, practices and authorizations issued in Brazil, leveraging the educational satellite activities in a more integrated relationship with amateur radio.<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">According to Anatel: “The exploration of satellites should be carried only in frequencies assigned to satellite services, as well as to services compatible to the applications which the builder wants to develop. In the case of small satellites (for example, cubesats), if placed in the amateur radio service bands, they must be used for own training, intercommunication and technical investigations carried out by amateur radio operators, not seeing any monetary or commercial objective. To meet this demand, Anatel created a manual that contains information and instructions to comply with regulatory procedures”.<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">LABRE/AMSAT-BR has already collaborated with several Brazilian educational satellite projects like NanosatC-BR1 (INPE), AESP-14 (ITA), SERPENS-1 (UnB), Tancredo-1 (Tancredo Neves Municipal School, Ubatuba/SP), ITASAT- 1 (ITA), Floripasat-1 (UFSC) and NanosatC-BR2 (INPE). LABRE is also active in the working group of the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) focused on the Coordination of Satellite Frequencies.<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">Anatel's new website with forms and manuals is available at:<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><a href="https://www.anatel.gov.br/setorregulado/pequenos-satelites" target="_blank" style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0,51,102);text-decoration-line:none">https://www.anatel.gov.br/setorregulado/pequenos-satelites</a><br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">In English at<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><a href="https://tinyurl.com/BrazilSatelliteRegs" target="_blank" style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0,51,102);text-decoration-line:none">https://tinyurl.com/BrazilSatelliteRegs</a></p></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">João Costa > CT1FBF <<a href="mailto:ct1fbf@gmail.com">ct1fbf@gmail.com</a>> escreveu no dia quinta, 16/07/2020 à(s) 16:59:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><h1 style="list-style:none;vertical-align:baseline;margin:0px 0px 18px;padding:0px 0px 33px;font-family:Raleway-black,sans-serif;line-height:1.18;color:rgb(26,42,57);font-size:48px;border-bottom:1px solid rgb(229,229,229);text-align:center"><a href="https://www.anatel.gov.br/setorregulado/pequenos-satelites" style="list-style:none;vertical-align:baseline;margin:0px;padding:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);text-decoration-line:none;outline:0px" target="_blank">Pequenos Satélites Radioamadores</a></h1><p style="list-style:none;vertical-align:baseline;margin:0px 0px 1em;padding:0px;line-height:1.875rem;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Raleway,sans-serif;font-size:18px">Os pequenos satélites são, de acordo com o entendimento da União Internacional de Telecomunicações (UIT), aqueles com dimensões e peso reduzidos e que se destinam, em geral, a missões de curta duração.
