ARISS Contact Applications (United States) (***)
?
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, 2021 and December 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 a proposal is November 24th, 2020. Proposal
information and more details such as expectations, proposal guidelines and
the proposal form can be found at www.ariss.org. An ARISS Introductory
Webinar session will be held on October 8, 2020 at 8PM ET. The Eventbrite
link to sign up is: https://ariss-proposal-webinar-fall-2020.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.
?
Please direct any questions to?ariss.us.education@?????.???.
?
For future proposal information and more details such as expectations,
proposal guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of Information
Webinars, go to www.ariss.org.

During one of the SSTV transmissions today, I heard an unusual signal
overlaid on top of the regular SSTV signal. It started just after the
original SSTV signal, and was initially quite strong, but eventually
lost out to the regular SSTV signal. It sounds similar to SSTV, but
not quite the same. This started at 2020-10-06 02:54:32Z. You can hear it
here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/abcizkoly8rn1ij/funny-sstv-signal.mp3?dl=0
You can see the waterfall during the initial decode here:

It does look like a separate signal on top of the original SSTV signal
and it looks more centered on 145.800 MHz than the Doppler shifted ISS
transmission which makes me thing it might be terrestrial, but I have
no idea where it would be coming from. It definitely looks like it was
targeting 145.8 and it sounds SSTV-like. The signal poped in several
more times as can be seen in this waterfall:

Any ideas what this came from?
Here's the image I received during that pass:

I do have the raw baseband signal if anyone's interested.

I figured out the issue that I was having between the Yaesu G5500DC
controller unit and the Fox Delta ST2 and wanted to pass along this
information for the next person that might need it. The wiring pin out
for the 8-pin male DIN diagram in the manual is wrong. The table below
is what finally worked for me:
`pin` | function
--- | ---
`1` | Rotate up
`2` | Rotate right/CW
`3` | Provides 2 to 4.5V DC corresponds to 0? to 450?
`4` | Rotate down
`5` | Rotate left/CCW
`6` | Provides 8 to 14V DC up to 100mA
`7` | Provides 2 to 4.5V DC corresponds to 0? to 180?
`8` | Common ground
Also the voltage I observed across the common ground and pin 6 on my
unit was just shy of 16V, well above the stated value in the Yaesu
manual.
After getting all the wiring corrected, I was able to perform an EEPROM
calibration correctly and everything lines up and works now. Hope this
saves the next ham some time trying to figure this out.

Loren,
Here are 4 SatNogs observations from the same pass. I don't see the same
signal in any of these, so it's likely that you have a local issue.

?Did anyone else have trouble hearing AO-27 this morning? Usually the
downlink is strong. The only complete call that I heard was KB2M. A couple
of other folks were trying to call, but I couldn't hear the complete calls.

FORIMMEDIATE RELEASE
?
?
ARISSContact is Scheduled with
McConnell Middle School, Loganville, GA
?
October06, 2020?Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) has
receivedschedule confirmation for an ARISS radio contact with astronauts.
ARISS is thegroup that puts together special amateur radio contacts between
students aroundthe globe and crew members with ham radio licenses on the
International Space Station (ISS).
?
This will be a Multipoint Telebridge Contact via Amateur Radio between the
ISS and students fromMcConnell Middle School in Loganville, Georgia.
Students will take turns askingtheir questions of ISS Commander Chris
Cassidy, amateur radio call sign KF5KDR,during the ARISS radio contact. The
downlink frequency for this contact is 437.525 MHz. ?
?
ARISS team member Jan Poppeliers, using call signON4ISS (from an AMSAT
amateur radio clubstation in Aartselaar, Belgium), will serve as therelay
amateur radio station. Each student asking a question of Cassidy on the
ARISS radiowill be teleconferenced in from home or social-distancedat
school. Youth and faculty and the publiccan watch the livestreamed action
from home. ?
?
TheARISS radio contact is scheduled for October 7, 2020 at 10:18 am EDT
(Georgia) (14:18UTC, 9:18 am CDT, 8:18 am MDT, 07:18 am PDT).
?
McConnellMiddle School (about 2,300students ages 11 to 15) is a Gwinnett
County public school near Atlanta.The district?s career-planningcurriculum
group integrated lessons into established science, math and languagearts
classes before the contact in order to increase student interest
andawareness related to space science, expand student experience with
researchmethodologies, and inspire them to pursue studies and careers
inscience-related fields. The school?s McConnell Radio Club, in its 6th
year,is mentored by members of the Gwinnett Amateur Radio Society who
provide radioclasses and equipment for student use, and guided the ARISS
project, a part of thefaculty?s efforts toward becoming a STEM-certified
school.
