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

Don't know, decoded a bunch, some fuzzy, some not.
However, I have an automated system that steers the antenna, and records the

Please remember that ARISS is not the prime activity on ISS. There are over
300 international experiments currently operational on ISS on this
expedition. I just heard in a teleconference last week that that number
will go to about 500 experiments in the next 1-2 years.
Because of the vast number of experiments going on at the same time, we can
only occasionally get suggestions to the crew to make changes to our
payload. Any work arounds on any experiment/payload will compete with the
crew's already fully booked schedule. Several ARISS team members,
particularly our teammate in Russia, were out of pocket this past weekend.
Our Russian colleague was informed of the issue early-on and acknowledged
the issue. But he also needs to get tied into Mission Control. That is
difficult from afar. And even if we ask for a change, it is challenging to
get the crew time to make this happen. Especially if it is outside the
flight planning stage.
Once we have the Interoperable Radio System on ISS, we plan to augment our
radio system with a ground commandable capability. We have already
developed a concept for this capability. Once in place, we will be able to
do many things with our radio without crew intervention, including mode
changes to support SSTV, APRS, Voice Repeater, etc.. This capability will
also be important if we fly ham radio on the Lunar Gateway, which will not
have crew on it 24/7.
Please note that to keep ARISS alive and implementing new capabilities
requires a great deal of funding. As an example, ARISS currently has two
individuals on travel to NASA Johnson running tests for the interoperable
radio system. This is one of three travel trips required to get the radio
system ready for flight. Each one of these trips will cost ARISS about
$3000 in travel---nearly $10,000 for these three testing events. Also, this
past week, we spent $1,100 to transport the HamTV that was returned from ISS
back to Italy to undergo troubleshooting to potentially repair the anomaly
we experienced on ISS. We have a Fundrazr activity right now to prepare the
Interoperable Radio System for Launch. We need $150,000 by the end of this
year and are well short of our goal right now. If you really want to see
improvements in the ISS radio system from where it is today, please strongly
consider donating to ARISS. Push the donate button at www.ariss.org. You
can donate at several levels and even a little at a time on a monthly basis.
At some donation levels, your callsign and name will be included on the
interoperable radio system that will fly to ISS!
Thanks for all your interest and support to ARISS. I hope this helps
explain a little about what is happening on ISS.

Thanks for letting all know what takes place on the ISS, and priorities. I'm
VERY impressed that they are able to accomplish all that they do.

> through the exploration of Amateur Radio and space. The ARISS program
> connects students to astronauts on the ISS through a partnership between

> 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.
