Surprising, especially with a cargo mission heading its way to the ISS this
week. BUT ...

Russian cosmonauts are expected to activate Slow Scan Television (SSTV)
image transmissions on 145.800 MHz FM from the International Space Station
on Wednesday to Friday, December 4, 5 and 6.

This is the schedule for the planned activation of the MAI-75 SSTV activity
from the ISS.

? Dec 4: On - 12:00 GMT, Off - 16:50 GMT
? Dec 5: On - 11:25 GMT, Off - 17:15 GMT
? Dec 6: On - 10:20 GMT, Off - 16:40 GMT

Transmissions will be sent on 145.800 MHz FM in the SSTV mode PD-120. Once
received, images can be posted and viewed by the public at
http://www.spaceflightsoftware.com/ARISS_SSTV/index.php

ISS SSTV uses a Kenwood TM D710E transceiver which is part of the amateur
radio station located in the Russian ISS Service Module.

Please note that SSTV events are dependent on other activities, schedules
and crew responsibilities on the ISS and subject to change at any time. You
can check for updates regarding planned operation at:

Contact Opportunity?

?

Call for Proposals?

?

Upcoming Proposal Window is February 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020?

?

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 for
proposals submitted in the proposal window now open would be held between
July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020.? ARISS is happy to announce a second
proposal window will open February 1, 2020 for contacts that would be held
between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021. 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 proposals for contacts between July 1, 2020 and
December 31, 2020 is November 30, 2019.? The proposal window for contacts
between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021 will open on February 1, 2020 and
close on March 31, 2020.? Proposal information and documents can be found at
www.ariss.org. Two ARISS Introductory Webinar sessions will be held on
November 7, 2019. The first is at 6:00 PM ET and the second is at 9:00 PM
ET. The same material will be covered during both sessions, so choose the
session that best fits your schedule. The Eventbrite link to sign up
is?https://ariss-introductory-webinar-fall-2019.eventbrite.com?.

?

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.??

Story:

A team of science and technology students and their teachers from Council
Rock South High School in Holland, PA will be making a long-distance call in
December 2019 that is literally "out of this world".  The team is comprised
of students from our school radio club, teacher mentors and our local
Warminster Amateur Radio Club (WARC).  Our team has installed a UHF/VHF
radio system and antennas and organized a club within our school.  Our club
meets on a regular basis throughout the year where students participate in
various activities and projects.  The club has been in place for the past 4
years, and originated from our Astronomy and Meteorology program in our
school.  Both our Astronomy/Meteorology classes and our Technology classes
have participated in many NASA programs.

Two of our teacher mentors are members of NASA's "Network of Educator
Astronaut Teachers."  In 2013, our team participated in NASA's Microgravity
Experience where we created a robot that could maneuver in microgravity.  We
took it to the Johnson Space Center where we successfully tested it onboard
"Weightless Wonder."

>From this contact, we hope to inspire the next generation of explorers to
pursue interests, and even careers in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics.  To talk with an astronaut that is living their dream, and
using a blend of old and new technologies to do it, will provide a lifelong
learning experience for all involved.







Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:



1. How has being in space affected your view of life on Earth?

2. What were some of your favorite STEM projects that you worked on?

3. What was it like being part of the mission that participated in the

   first female spacewalk?

4. What inspired you to put in the enormous commitment to become an

   astronaut?

5. For students that are looking to pursue a career in space, what

   advice would you give them?

6. How will the new chocolate chip cookie machine work in microgravity

   and are you looking forward to your first cookie in space?

7. Have any astronauts ever gotten sick in space and how would it be

   dealt with if it happens?

8. What experiments have you worked on that involved living more

   sustainably on Earth?

9. What advantages are there to running experiments in a microgravity

   environment?

10. Have you noticed any physical changes about your body since living

    on the ISS?

11. Why do you believe it is important for students and children to be

    excited about space and the sciences?

12. What has been your most memorable experience on the ISS?

13. What is the biggest mistake that you have made while in space and

    what did you learn from it?

14. Since being in space, have you noticed your taste in food or

    cravings change?

15. What do you miss most in space that you would normally have on

    Earth?

16. What vegetables will the ISS work towards growing in the future as

    the phased research project involving Veg-0404A, Veg-04B, and Veg-

    05 continues?

17. What do the Northern Lights look like from space?

18. What time zone do you use on the ISS and has it been hard to adjust

    to the day/night cycles while in orbit?

19. What are your favorite things to do in your free time while in '

    space?

20. Do you ever have any personal space or privacy while on the ISS?

I just successfully digipeated through the ISS, or so it seemed. My
packet came back and showed on my screen on UISS. But it didn't register
on the findu.com site for the space station. Why might that happen? I do
not believe that has ever happened to me before.

Contact Opportunity?

?

Call for Proposals?

?

Upcoming Proposal Window is February 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020?

?

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 for
proposals submitted in the proposal window now open would be held between
July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020.? ARISS is happy to announce a second
proposal window will open February 1, 2020 for contacts that would be held
between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021. 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 proposals for contacts between July 1, 2020 and
December 31, 2020 is November 30, 2019.? The proposal window for contacts
between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021 will open on February 1, 2020 and
close on March 31, 2020.? Proposal information and documents can be found at
www.ariss.org. Two ARISS Introductory Webinar sessions will be held on
November 7, 2019. The first is at 6:00 PM ET and the second is at 9:00 PM
ET. The same material will be covered during both sessions, so choose the
session that best fits your schedule. The Eventbrite link to sign up
is?https://ariss-introductory-webinar-fall-2019.eventbrite.com?.

?

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.??
