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. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ARISS Contact Applications (Europe, Africa and the Middle East) Schools and Youth organizations in Europe, Africa and the Middle East interested in setting up an ARISS radio contact with an astronaut on board the International Space Station are invited to submit an application from September to October and from February to April.

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. ***************************************************************************** Other web sites that may be of interest include: ARRL related websites: http://www.arrl.org/amateur-radio-on-the-international-space-station http://www.arrl.org/ariss =============================================================================== AMSAT related websites: https://www.amsat.org Latest ARISS announcements and news https://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/ariss/ Successful school list https://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/Successful_ARISS_schools.rtf =============================================================================== NASA related websites: Main page: https://www.nasa.gov/ For Educators: https://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/index.html For Students: https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/index.html https://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/teachingfromspace/students/ariss.html (instructions for US schools wanting to apply for a contact may be found here) For Media: https://www.nasa.gov/audience/formedia/index.html =============================================================================== The ISS Fan Club website is: http://www.issfanclub.eu =============================================================================== Additional information may be found on the amsat.org calendar of events for where to find the audio on EchoLink, IRLP and Shoutcast. =============================================================================== Check out the Zoho reports of the ARISS contact https://reports.zoho.com/ZDBDataSheetView.cc?DBID=412218000000020415 =============================================================================== Exp. 67 on orbit Oleg Artemyev Denis Matveev Sergey Korsakov SpaceX Crew-4 on orbit Kjell Lindgren KO5MOS Bob Hines KI5RQT Samantha Cristoforetti IZØUDF Jessica Watkins =============================================================================== 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.
