The crossband repeater continues to be active.  If any crewmember is so inclined, all they have to do is pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on the crossband repeater.  So give a listen, you just never know.

Comments on making general contacts 

I have been seeing a lot of traffic on Facebook and I suspect on other social media sites with people asking why they are not hearing the crew make general contacts.  First off the crew is very busy on the ISS and they simply may not have the time to just pick up the microphone and talk.  Also, one needs to be aware of their normal daily schedule.  I have listed below the constraints that we at ARISS have to follow in order to schedule the school contacts.  Hopefully this will help you better schedule your opportunities.

Typical daily schedule
Wakeup to Workday start= 1.5 hours
Workday start to Workday end=12 hours
Workday end to Sleep= 2 hours
Sleep to wakeup= 8.5 hours

The crew's usual waking period is 07:30 – 19:30 UTC. The most common times to find a crew member making casual periods are about one hour after waking up and about an hour before sleeping, when they have personal time. They're usually free most of the weekend, as well.

SSTV events are not that often.  So please check out https://www.ariss.org/ for the latest information or watch for the ARISS announcements.  

And don’t forget that the packet system is sometimes active.  Check the status at https://www.ariss.org/ or http://www.issfanclub.eu to see if the packet system is active or not. 

As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios are turned off as part of the safety protocol.

The latest information on the operation mode can be found at https://www.ariss.org/current-status-of-iss-stations.html

A multi-point telebridge contact means that each student will be on the telebridge from their own home.
****************************************************************************************************************************************

ARISS is very aware of the impact that COVID-19 is having on schools and the public in general.  As such, we may have last minute cancellations or postponements of school contacts.  As always, I will try to provide everyone with near-real-time updates. Watch for future COVID-19 related announcements at https://www.ariss.org/

The following schools have now been postponed or cancelled due to COVID-19:  

Postponed:
No new schools

About ARISS:

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS).  In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org.

*****************************************************************************

The ARISS (a joint effort of AMSAT, the ARRL, NASA, the ARISS international 
partners including Canada, Russia, the European Partners, and Japan) operations 
team wishes to announce the following very tentative schedule for ARISS school 
contacts.  This schedule is very fluid and may change at the last minute.  
Remember that amateur radio use on the ISS is considered secondary.  Please 
check the various AMSAT and ARISS webpages for the latest announcements.  
Changes from the last announcement are noted with (***).  

Listen for the ISS on the downlink of 145.8Ø MHz unless otherwise noted.

To let you in on how tough it is to schedule contacts, here are some of the constraints the ARISS mentors must work under: 
Each Increment is about 26 weeks in length. 

For any given expedition, we typically may not schedule:
1. Anything the first 3 weeks.
2. During EVA weeks 
3. At least 2 weeks prior to the Increment change. 
4. No contacts during meal and exercise periods.
5. No contacts during post-sleep and pre sleep (before Ø8:ØØ UTC and after 19:3Ø UTC)
6. Contacts on the day of Progress docking or undocking are circumspect.

Mike Fincke KE5AIT and Gennady Padalka RN3DT produced a video during their stay on Expedition 9. You can get the QuickTime version (209MB) or the Windows Media version (152MB). These files are huge, so only a broadband connection is recommended.    Thanks Mike and Gennady!
