No. That is not the link to use, JoAnne. Thank you for checking.
The correct link was in the file that was attached to the email I sent early
yesterday. I do not know what happened, but here (at the very bottom of
this email string) is the email I sent early yesterday that had the file
attached. Maybe amsat-bb doesn't accept files from me?
It is important to run as much information as possible from the attached
file, rather than just the links, but if that can't happen, here are
sentences that had the links--these are in the attached file:
The proposal deadline for 2018 contacts is November 15, 2017. Proposal

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ Students
ARISS-US program education proposal deadline is November 15, 2017
September 18, 2017: The Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station (ARISS) program is seeking proposals from U.S. schools,
museums, science centers and community youth organizations to host
radio contacts with an orbiting crew member aboard the International
Space Station (ISS) between July 1 and December 31, 2018.
Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with oppor-
tunities to learn about space technologies and space communications
through the exploration of Amateur Radio. The program provides
learning opportunities by connecting students to astronauts aboard
the International Space Station (ISS) through a partnership between
NASA, the American Radio Relay League, the Radio Amateur Satellite
Corporation and other Amateur Radio organizations and worldwide
space agencies. The program's goal is to inspire students worldwide,
to pursue interests and careers in science, technology, engineering
and mathematics (STEM) through Amateur Radio.
Educators overwhelmingly report that student participation in the
ARISS program inspires an interest in STEM subjects and in STEM
careers. Ninety-two percent of educators who have participated in
the program have indicated that ARISS provided ideas for encourag-
ing student exploration, discussion, and participation, and 78
percent said that ARISS was effective in stimulating student
interest in STEM.
ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers
of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed
education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications,
wireless technology, science research conducted on the space
tation, what it is like to work in space, radio science, and any
related STEM subject. Students learn to use Amateur Radio to talk
directly to an astronaut and ask their STEM-related questions.
ARISS will help educational organizations locate Amateur Radio
groups who can assist with equipment for this once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity for students.
The proposal deadline for 2018 contacts is November 15, 2017.
Proposal webinars for guidance and answers to proposal questions
will be offered Sep. 21, 2017, at 7 p.m. EDT and Sep. 25, 2017,
at 4 p.m. EDT. Advance registration is necessary which can be done
at the eventbrite.com website:
https://tinyurl.com/ANS-267-ARISS-Webinar (eventbrite.com)
The ARISS website has additional details on expectations, proposal
guidelines, and the proposal form. See:
http://www.ariss.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-us.html

Those members, who remember the design, will note that Oscar 40used a CAN
bus (common network found in automobiles).
The ISL71026M radiation-tolerant 3.3V CAN transceiver provides serial data
transmission at speeds up to 1Mbps. Up to 120 transceivers can be connected
to a single CAN bus to reduce cabling/harness size, weight and power (SWAP)
costs for satellite command and telemetry systems.

The ISL71xxxM family of radiation-tolerant plastic-package ICs is designed
to support the emerging field of small satellites that will provide
solutions such as high-speed Internet connections to hundreds of millions of
users in communities, governments, and businesses worldwide. Fleets of
hundreds of small satellites will create mega-constellation networks to
deliver broadband Internet links from low Earth orbit (LEO) to every corner
of the globe, including rural areas without wireless connectivity access.

Council Boy Scouts of America, Kansas City, MO
Message-ID: <A970A64B342F432D886E82E4CC6688A3@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Heart of America Council Boy Scouts of America, Kansas City,
MO on 23 Sept. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 12:03 UTC.
It is recommended that you start listening approximately 10 minutes before
this time.The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30
seconds. The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and W6SRJ. The
contact should be audible over the west coast of the U.S. Interested parties
are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected
to be conducted in English.
The Scouting 500 is a Council wide event of the Heart of America Council,
Boy Scouts of America. The Council serves 29,830 youth and 14,255 adult
leaders in the 17 bordering Missouri and Kansas counties which constitute
the Greater Kansas City Metropolitan area. We expect 12,000 to 14,000 boys
and their adult leaders and parents.
The Scouting 500 is taking place on the grounds of the NASCAR Kansas
Speedway. In the infield of the track we will have 114 different activities
for the attendees. That of course includes a demonstration NASCAR Stock Car
race with 5 regular NASCAR cars and their drivers. More on the Scouting
line we have a large artificial trout pool where the boys can tie their own
flies and practice casting. Another tank will conduct scuba lessons. There
will be custom cars, bb guns, a hot air balloon, go carts, archery, scout
skills and of course a substantial STEM area.
The highlight of our STEM program is the ARISS contact. The contact will
be a part of the STEM-Amateur Radio Exhibit. The exhibit includes
educational displays about amateur, a morse code station where the Scouts
can practice sending and receiving their name and unit number to one another
and other information about the International Space Station. Key to the
exhibit are radio stations manned with licensed operators each operating in
one of several different modes. We will have VHF\UHF featuring repeater
usage, APRS and ECHOLINK. We will have HF stations running CW, SSB, JT65
and remote and other digital modes. Our call sign is K2BSA/0.
We look forward to working the ISS.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What was purpose of the last spacewalk and did you get to go on it?
2. For boosting the space station's orbit, what is typically used if not
Zarya?
3. If someone gets hurt or sick who gives them first aid?
4. What have you done for entertainment that is unique to do in space?
5. How do you exercise on the space station and how do your muscles feel in
gravity?
6. What is your current experiment and why is it best done in space?
7. Can you make out cities from space at night?
8. What is your favorite meal and how is it prepared?
9. What is the next big thing in space exploration in your opinion?
10. What got you interested in being an astronaut?
11. How difficult is it to get used to gravity once you come back to earth?
12. How long does it take to get to the station from earth?
13. What is the best type of college degree to get to become an astronaut?
14. Is being weightless like swimming under water? It seems you move slowly.
15. Do you find it hard to sleep with so much going on around you all the
time?
16. What is your opinion about privately trained astronauts working in space
and possibly aboard the ISS?
17. What did the recent solar eclipse look like from space?
18. When you return to earth how long will it take to get used to gravity?
19. How long can you be outside the ISS in a spacesuit before you have to
return?
20. Do you have a telescope on board since you can see clearer without the
earth's atmosphere?

I was thinking of this a while back, has a command station attempted to
contact it recently?
Unlike AO-7 my understanding is that it will not just 'wake up' and start
beaconing as the transmitter (either V or U) that was that failsafe
transmitter is non-functional.
So without intervention to turn on a S band TX if a cell was to open up,
it'd just sit their quietly. Is that a correct understanding?
