FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ARISS NEWS RELEASE
No. 17-10
13 US Schools/Groups Move Into Phase 2 of ARISS Selections
December 18, 2017 - The ARISS-US Team (Amateur Radio on the International
Space Station) is pleased to announce that 13 of the 25 schools or
organizations submitting proposals have been selected to advance to the next
stage of planning to host amateur radio contacts in July to December 2018.
The contacts will be with International Space Station (ISS) crew members
using the ARISS equipment on the ISS. A review team of educators from the
new ARISS-US Education Committee selected proposals after the recent
proposal window closed. The groups will go forward into Phase 2, the
submitting of an amateur radio equipment plan to host a scheduled ARISS
contact.
ARISS's primary goal is to engage young people in science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM) activities, and involve them in activities
related to space exploration, amateur radio, communications, and areas of
associated study and career possibilities.
ARISS anticipates that NASA will be able to provide scheduling opportunities
for these US host organizations during the second half of 2018. These
candidates must now complete an equipment plan that demonstrates their
ability to execute the ham radio contact. Once their equipment plan is
approved by the ARISS technical team, the final selected schools /
organizations will be scheduled as their availability and flexibility match
up with the scheduling opportunities.
The schools and organizations are:
Allen Park Elementary School, Lee County School District
Ft. Myers FL
Ashford School
Ashford CT
Bishop O'Connell High School
Arlington VA
Delcastle Technical High School
Wilmington DE
Hudson Memorial School
Hudson NH
Kopernik Observatory & Science Center
Vestal NY
Mendez Fundamental Intermediate School
Santa Ana CA
Pathfinder Regional Vocational Technical High School
Palmer MA
Pearl Technology STEM Academy
Peoria Heights IL
Pell Elementary School
Newport RI
St. Catherine of Bologna School
Ringwood NJ
Tallmadge Community Learning Center
Lancaster OH
Valley High School
Albuquerque NM
ABOUT ARISS

sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced
amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a
variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students,
teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies,
and amateur radio. For more informa
tion, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.

Group, I spent most of my weekend working on my little SSB satellite
station. I am now up and running using a FT-817 for uplink, SRDPlay with
SDR Console software for downlink, Arrow antenna, and PCSat32. It was a
little bit of a struggle getting all communicating but I now have it
working, and even made some contacts on AO-7, and one of the XW-2 sats.
(thanks WU2M for working me on three different sats this weekend) I am
having an issue with calibration on using PCSat32. One of the passes this
weekend I noticed I was coming down about 800 - 1200 hz above the station I
was receiving, another time I was about that same amount below. I read
through the help file for PCSat and the next pass I raised my uplink freq.
so it would lower my freq. in the downlink bandpass. I also then had to put
in a correction for my downlink frequency. After doing this, I was really
close to the zero beating the station I worked. The next satellite I
tried, I was off again by 1000-1500 k!
Hz.
Is this something I will have to do every pass, for every satellite, or will
this offset be saved in PCSat32 in the future passes. Right now I am
running PCSat in Demo mode, and have paid for registration and waiting for
my key to be emailed. Will things work better once I get it running as
registered copy?
Thank for your time and advice.

Jason,
I used the same setup until last month. I also noticed that sometimes I
needed to calibrate the frequency at the beginning of the pass.
Make sure your clock is synchronized and your keps are up to date.
Hope to hear you soon!

You need to do it for each satellite. And AO-73 drifts, so you'll do best
on that one by manual tuning each pass.

learning and equip them with skills for the future.
Teachers First: Use a high-quality education system to give teachers space
to put all their talents and passion into play. Reform the education system
to upgrade teachers of teaching.
Parents First: Amid reforming policies, work with parents to improve
education for the children. Turn parents into partners of the teachers on
the journey of education.
Environments First: Construct action learning, international vision, and
independent studying to create a learning environment where students can
learn anywhere anytime.
Total Number of Pupils: 1445 (Grade 1~Grade 6)
Total Number of Classes: 59
Total Number of Teachers & Staffs: 115
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Are there aliens in outer space?
2. How much time on earth is one hour in space?
3. If I want to be an astronaut, what do I need to do?
4. We know that the water in ISS is recycled from your urine, do you drink
it? How does it taste like?
5. How do you train your body to stay healthy?
6. Which material is a space station made out of?
7. Do you get bored on the ISS?
8. How do you live and sleep in space?
9. What is the most difficult aspect of an astronaut?
10. What is the hardest thing you`ve experienced for the first time in ISS?
11. Does food taste the same in space?
12. Is it comfortable in a spacesuit?
13. What do you fear most in space? Why?
14. What is your daily work when you are in ISS?
15. What do you like to do in space in your leisure time?

I read a few months ago that the P3E project has come back to life and it
was closer to launching. I cannot find any data on AMSAT-NA web (in this
reincarnation).
What is the status of P3E (the semi-geosynchronous bird) to in affect
replace AO-40?
What is the status of FOX1C & D too?

As reported at Dayton in May 2016, the US government opportunity to launch
P3E did not materialize. I am not sure if AMSAT-DL has been pursuing any
other leads to launch P3E as they have been involved with the P4A project
aboard the Es'HailSat-2 geostationary satellite scheduled to launch in
2018. If anyone has a spare $15 million to take P3E to GTO, please contact
AMSAT-DL!
As far as the Fox series:
Fox-1D is scheduled to launch in January from India on PSLV-C40.
Fox-1Cliff is scheduled to launch on Spaceflight's SSO-A mission aboard a
Falcon 9 later in 2018.
RadFxSat-2 (Fox-1E) is scheduled to launch as part of the NASA ELaNa XX
mission aboard Virgin Orbit's LauncherOne in 2018.
Other AMSAT projects:
Virginia Tech continues to pursue opportunities for the P4B project to
geosynchronous orbit.
The GOLF project for CubeSat missions to a wide variety of orbits,
including potentially to HEO, is in its initial stages.

I've been scanning and categorizing my stacks of paper files, and I've
been working on old AMSAT documents from the early 1980s. I have a good
pile of stuff on Phase 3-B/Oscar-10 that might be of interest to the
old-timers among you (and maybe of archeological interest to others).
I'll be placing these documents in raw form on my personal website.
There's no index or HTML framing at the moment, but hopefully the file

Congratulations to John Papay, K8YSE, who has been awarded satellite
DXCC with 101 entities verified. The satellite DXCC standings are
available at http://www.arrl.org/dxcc-standings
While there is no way to be certain, John's satellite DXCC is likely
the first to be obtained without the use of either HEO satellites or
sub-horizon Mode K propagation since prior to the launch of AO-10 in
1983. Starting on satellites in 2006, John did not even enjoy the
advantage of FO-20's higher LEO apogee or RS-15's high LEO orbit in
his quest to work and confirm 100 DXCCs via satellite.This is
certainly a noteworthy achievement!

the first to be obtained without the use of either HEO satellites or
sub-horizon Mode K propagation since prior to the launch of AO-10 in
1983. Starting on satellites in 2006, John did not even enjoy the
advantage of FO-20's higher LEO apogee or RS-15's high LEO orbit in
his quest to work and confirm 100 DXCCs via satellite.This is
certainly a noteworthy achievement!

Paul, N8HM (77 satellite DXCCs worked and counting!)
