Hi all:
It has been very quiet for the past few weeks.  I guess everyone is on
vacation.

ISS and Mir QSL links

I have updated the MAREX web page to include new links for both the Mir
and ISS QSL card pages.

ISS Off the air, while crew unpacks

The ISS packet station has been off the air for the past few weeks. 
The Expedition Three crew of the space station consists of astronaut
commander Frank Culbertson, Cosmonaut Vladimir Dezhurov, Cosmonaut
Mikhail Tyurin (his first space mission).  When I asked Moscow about
this crews experience with Amateur radio activities, I was told that
Mikhail is a very experienced amateur radio operator and we should
expect to hear from him during this mission.

AO-40 SSTV images
The MAREX team has been testing the new SpaceCam1 SSTV software via the
AO-40 satellite.  Check out the MAREX web page for some of the SSTV
images which have traveled over 60 - 80,000 miles
