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:
ariss-proposal-webinar-fall-2018.eventbrite.com/

Good evening all,
What is the correct url to use to stream data to for the Funcube,
Nayif-2 and JY1SAT dashboards?
Should all three dashboards be pointing to the same url for streaming
data or should the funcube or nayif-1 or jy1sat dashboard be pointing to
different url's for streaming data to the warehouse(s)?
I thought I saw am posting about updating a URL but I can no longer find
it and am uncertain at this time if it was the url for streaming data to
the warehouse(s) or just for the new interface for all missions? i.e.
http://data.amsat-uk.org/missions

Hi Graham,
A very good question!
Actually the FUNcube team is just finishing off a info sheet which gives
all the latest up-to-date info about this.
We have been developing a new single warehouse for all the missions and
new dashboards for JY1SAT and ESEO so things have been pretty hectic.
The document should be available later today (UTC)

"The basic CubeSat unit is a box roughly 4 inches (10 centimeters)
square. Larger CubeSats are multiples of that unit. MarCO's design is a
six-unit CubeSat - about the size of a briefcase -- with a stowed size
of about 14.4 inches (36.6 centimeters) by 9.5 inches (24.3 centimeters)
by 4.6 inches (11.8 centimeters)."
Being a bit pedantic, wouldn't that be a CubiodSat? :-)

This whole program has been SO COOL!? Hopefully, NASA wasable to learn some
helpful things from the Amateur CubeSat activities.It was amazing to read
that signals from the MarCO SATs take8 MINUTES to get back to Earth!!
Imagine having a QSO usingsomething like that? LOL

Hi Pedro and all,
Thanks for a very nice webpage for visualizing the Es'hail-2 orbit!
Es'hail-2 is still in a temporary GEO slot, according to the Keps at ~24?E.
This is not the final location which planned to be at 26?E.?
During the next 1-2 month they will perform some fine tuning and
extensive In-Orbit-Testing in this position not to interfere with other
GEO satellites nearby.?
Once that is finished,? the satellite will slowly be drifting to and
stationed at the final position.
However, several "hunters" have already spotted the Engineering beacon
from Es'hail-2, so obviously everything looks good and is according to
the plan..? :-)
The checkout and inauguration of the both AMSAT transponders will be
performed after the IOT phase is finished.?

Stay tuned for latest news on https://amsat-dl.org?? and? the official
Es'hail-2 / P4-A discussion forum on
