Amateur Radio on the International Space Station?
Contact Opportunity?
?
Call for Proposals?
New Proposal Window is October 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019?
?
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a
crew member on board the ISS.? ARISS anticipates that the contact would be
held between July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020. Crew scheduling and ISS
orbits will determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio
contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw
large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a
well-developed education plan.?
?
The deadline to submit a proposal is November 30, 2019.? Proposal
information and documents can be found at http://www.ariss.org .?
?
The Opportunity?
?
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.?
?
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio
between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and classrooms
and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity
to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space
and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will
have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight
and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations
must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of
the radio contact.?
?
Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and
space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational
organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations' volunteer
efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world using
Amateur Radio.??

Rent-a-GEO funding proposal was published 28 September 2019.
Current document can be found at
https://openresearch.institute/2019/09/28/open-research-institute-phase-4-spac
e-rent-a-geo/
Unlike the Phase 4 Space funding proposal, which is four dedicated GEO
amateur payloads, the Rent-a-GEO was not invited for submission to ARDC.
ARDC is not currently accepting grant proposals, according to their website.
If you want to see it considered by ARDC, then it would be helpful to tell
them. That may make a difference.
Other funding sources under consideration are ARRL Foundation and FEMA.
I have several meetings scheduled to talk about Rent-a-GEO at AMSAT-NA
Symposium and will be available the entire event for discussions about
this, the global GEO payload proposal, the major advancements in LDPC
decode and channelizers, and more.
I anticipate being able to incorporate quality feedback, comment, and
critique at Symposium into the draft and publish a revision in late
October. That's the current status.

The Opportunity?
?
Crew members aboard the International Space Station will participate in
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are approximately 10
minutes in length and allow students to interact with the astronauts through
a question-and-answer session.?
?
An ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via Amateur Radio
between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space station and classrooms
and communities. ARISS contacts afford education audiences the opportunity
to learn firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and work in space
and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will
have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless
technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human spaceflight
and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the ISS, organizations
must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes in dates and times of
the radio contact.?
?
Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and
space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational
organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations' volunteer
efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable
communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world using
Amateur Radio.??
