International Space Station Astronauts are Calling CQ Students
ARISS-US program?s education proposal window is open April 1 - May 15, 2019
?
March 24, 2019:? The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station
(ARISS) program is seeking proposals beginning April 1, 2019, from US
schools, museums, science centers and community youth organizations (working
individually or together) to host radio contacts with an orbiting crew
member aboard the International Space Station (ISS) between January 1, 2020
and June 30, 2020.
?
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. 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 April 1, 2019 and the proposal deadline is May 15,
2019. For proposal guidelines and forms and more details, go to:
http://ariss-proposal-webinar-spring-2019.eventbrite.com
Proposal webinars for guidance and getting questions answered will be
offered April 11, 2019 at 7 pm Eastern Time and April 16, 2019 at 9 pm
Eastern Time. Advance registration is necessary. To sign up, go to
https://ariss-proposal-webinar-spring-2019.eventbrite.com

Bidding is Now Underway - Out of This World ARISS
Auction!
April 8, 2019 The bidding has begun! The Out of This World ARISS Auction
is speeding along! It will run until April 14th at 22:00 UTC.
Bidders are moving fast hoping to garner a special astronaut signed brand
new JVC Kenwood TS-890S-Bidding is done by going to www.ariss.org and
pressing the Auction Website button or by visiting
http://www.ebay.com/itm/323770952171. Similar for bidding on a special
astronaut signed 6-volume boxed set 2019 ARRL Handbook, but a different URL
is used-see http://www.ebay.com/itm/323770952890.
Thanks to JVC Kenwood and ARRL, proceeds from the on-line auction will
benefit ARISS in its quest to launch a new custom-built higher-power radio
system in late 2019 with its voice repeater and improved packet APRS and
SSTV capability that thousands of hams can enjoy. The new system will
replace the aging, problematic units currently on the ISS. ARISS also needs
funding to keep introducing ham radio to thousands of students, teachers,
parents, and whole communities-and inspiring students about STEM and radio.
Kenwood has been a super supporter of ARISS for years, and it was the
company's idea for this special radio to be an exclusive for one ham to own.
The limited edition boxed set 2019 ARRL Handbook sold out fast last fall but
ARRL saved back one set for ARISS's fund-raiser. AMSAT-NA, another ARISS
sponsor, provided parts of the auction infrastructure. ARISS is thankful
for all of its great sponsors and supporters!
If auctions aren't your thing, please contribute a donation to ARISS-look
for the Donate button near the top right corner of www.ariss.org page or
email k1sto@????.???. Thank you!

-----------------------------------
This is my analysis:
(1) Digipeating does not work normally.? A digipeater should only change the
via path.? The information part should not be changed.? Why is it converted
into ?message? format?
(2) Only the needed digipeater fields should be present.? If they are not
needed leave them out.? Don?t fill them with blanks.
(3) A station address should never contain the * character.? That is only in
the human readable standard monitoring format.? The * after a station
indicates that the H bit is set.
(4) When a digipeater uses up an address in the via path, it must set the
?H? bit to 1.? If it responded to an alias, it should substitute its own
callsign.
Here is an example of expected behavior:
K4KDR-6>CQ,ARISS:=3747.66N/07736.67W`de K4KDR scott23192@?????.??? Virginia?
FM17es
K4KDR-6>CQ,RS0ISS*:=3747.66N/07736.67W`de K4KDR scott23192@?????.???
Virginia? FM17es
- ARISS is recognized as an alias by RS0ISS.
- RS0ISS substitutes its own call and marks that digipeater field as being
used.
- The * is not a character in the address.? It is the human readable way to
indicate that the ?H? bit is set.
- Only the via path is changed.
- The Information part is not changed at all.

School, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Message-ID: <D402B06D78114C67B5B6E1BA48E11FC3@???>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Shaftesbury High School, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
on 10 April. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:57 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 VK6MJ. The contact should
be audible over Australia and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited
to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be
conducted in English.
Shaftesbury High School is a public school in the Pembina Trails School
Division serving approximately 700 students from grades 9 through 12 in
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Grade 9 students from schools across the
division have been invited to Shaftesbury to share in celebrating Canada's
role in space through a contact with Canadian Astronaut David Saint-Jacques.
Currently in its 50th year, Shaftesbury has been a leader in innovative
STEAM projects through the Shaftesbury High Altitude Robotics Project
(SHARP) and the Shaftesbury ARISS Telebridge Service (SATS). Recent Mars
simulation research conducted by Shaftesbury students has been published for
presentation at the 2019 Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Texas.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What is your favorite feature of Earth from space?
2. How has space science changed our lives for the better?
3. Is solar energy the only power source for the ISS?
4. What type of training have you had to support your mental health while in
space?
5. How is water used on the space station, and is it fully recycled?
6. What is the most challenging problem you have solved while in 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,
David - AA4KN

Thanks, I see that it is now included in "nasa.all", and is picked up by
SatPC32.
However, when I add an entry for "AISAT 1" in Doppler.sqf, the frequency
pair does'nt show up.
So I ended up working at a fixed frequency without doppler.
AISAT 1,145825,145825,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,Pkt Digi
ISS,145825,145825,FM,FM,NOR,0,0,Pkt Digi
etc...
Later, on a hunch I tried other birds with a SPACE in their name and they
seem to have the same issue. the frequency pair does not get picked up from
Doppler.sqf?? How do I get around it, any help is most appreciated.
