This said, the telemetry will not be available when the ARU is busy, and
likewise, the telemetry transmission will be abruptly aborted when a voice
repeating operation starts while in the midst of telemetry downlink. The
data can be received in Morse code format of 120 WPM, at a frequency of
145.9 MHz. The pertinent data format is shown below, and further explained
in the table that follows.

International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ ARISS Students
??? ARISS-US program?s education proposal window open Oct. 1 - Nov. 30, 2018
?
September 25, 2018:? ARISS is seeking proposals beginning October 1, 2018
from US schools, museums, science centers and community youth organizations
(working individually or together) to host amateur radio contacts with an
orbiting crew member aboard the International Space Station (ISS) between
July 1 and December 30, 2019.
?
Each year, ARISS provides tens of thousands of students with learning
opportunities about space technologies, communications, and much more
through the exploration of Amateur Radio and space. ARISS has been pleased
of late, to be one of many possibilities of interest to educators during
NASA?s A Year of Education on Station, which celebrates an almost 12-month
presence of a teacher aboard the ISS.? The ARISS program connects students
to astronauts on the ISS through a partnership between NASA, the Radio
Amateur Satellite Corporation, the American Radio Relay League, other
Amateur Radio global organizations and the worldwide space agencies. The
program?s goal is to inspire students to pursue interests and careers in
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in Amateur Radio.
?
Educators report regularly that student participation in the ARISS program
stimulates interest in STEM subjects and STEM careers. One educator wrote,
?Many of the middle school students who took part in and attended the ARISS
contact have selected science courses in high school as a result of that
contact.?? Educators are setting up ham radio clubs in schools and learning
centers because of students? interest.
?
ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of
participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed, exciting
education plan. Students can learn about satellite communications, wireless
technology, science research conducted on the ISS, radio science, and other
STEM subjects. 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
a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for students.
?
The proposal window opens October 1, 2018 and the proposal deadline is
November 30, 2018.
For proposal guidelines and forms and more details, visit:
http://www.ariss.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-us.html
?
Proposal webinars for guidance and getting questions answered will be
offered October 11 and October 23, 2018, both at 8 pm Eastern Time. Advance
registration is necessary. To sign up, go to:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Bishop O'Connell High School, Arlington, VA
on 08 Nov. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:56 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.
Bishop O'Connell High School is a diocesan Catholic college-preparatory high
school founded in 1957 and located in Arlington, Virginia. Drawn from the
diverse population of Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland, The
student body of 1,200 represents a range of socioeconomic, racial, ethnic
and religious heritage. The school offers a technology-infused,
student-centered, learning environment, with an average class size of 17.
Unique learning experiences include robust curriculum choices in the fields
of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)--including a
Project Lead the Way (PLTW) engineering curriculum--dual credit offerings
with Marymount University, and an optional Global Studies program.
Our academic rigor is enriched through the opportunity for independent
research projects and supplemental club activities and programs that infuse
a strong STEM focus throughout our school.
Faculty at O'Connell collaborate through STEM-driven projects that include
using innovative technology solutions and the use of big data to study our
world. These activities include building and tracking satellites, small chip
payload development, high-altitude balloon experiments, using big data to
solve real-world problems, underwater robotics, coding, and Amateur Radio.
And lastly, we love exploring space and space-related activities at Bishop
O'Connell!
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. In regards to the future of space travel, what will help us accomplish our
space goals the most, government or commercial space industry?
2. What is it like to float in space? Is it peaceful, is it nerve wracking?
3. When you arrived on the International Space Station, how long did it take
for you to adjust your sleeping habits and how long do you guys normally
sleep?
4. Does homesickness affect you (the astronaut) and if it does, how do you
cope with it.
5. Did you bring anything to remind you of your family?
6. What does a rocket launch feel like?
7. Will you use ham radio after leaving the ISS? We hope we can talk to you
through our radio once you are back on earth.
8. How do you navigate your way through the space station if almost every
room looks the same?
9. What are your thoughts on humans visiting Mars? When do you think it will
happen, if at all?
10. What do you do in your free time?
11. How much replanning is happening in your workdays because the other two
astronauts are not there?
12. Can you see the leaves changing in the Northeast US? Elsewhere in the
world?
13. New satellites such as GOES16 produce incredibly detailed images which we
look at here on the Internet. Do you use those images to help guide your
observations from ISS?
14. Of all those different nationalities, has anyone held worship services?
Aboard, or from the ground?
15. Is there static electricity in space? How do you deal with it?
16. How are you celebrating NASA's 60th anniversary?
17. Have you ever been on an EVA walk? If so, what was the task?
18. How much humidity is there on the ISS? Is the air ever too dry or to
moist?
19. It snowed recently in the Allegheny Mountains not far from us, can you
see snow from space?

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 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.
Thank you & 73,

Hi,
In preparation for supporting JY1Sat and ESEO I heed to take a live feed to
test the performance.
For one day I will change data.amsat-uk.org which supports Nayif1 to point
to the new server. (I will
retrospectively back fill the data when we change back).
Data will be collected but not displayed initially as I am only trying to
determine load on the data server.
Many thanks for your support.
Any problems please email.

The SSTV award I received came from sstv.award@?????.??? Skawek SQ3OOK ...
the award wasn't sponsored by AMSAT-NA. Perhaps you can get more information
using that e-mail.

Hi folks -
I've had great luck on AO-91, AO-92, SO-50 using an FM HT and the Arrow
antenna. However, I've never been able to hear any of the XW satellites,
and I'm seeing them as active on the AMSAT status page. XW2-C just went
by 500 miles away at decent elevation and not a peep.
I'm concerned that I'm reading the frequency chart wrong, or ? - Could
someone please send me a sample setup for one of them so I can be sure I'm
interpreting everything correctly?
Any assistance much appreciated!
