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.
?
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 ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote
exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEAM)
topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew
members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before
and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and
communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For
more information, see www.ariss.org.

I'm doing an ISS ham demo for a friend's son who is on the autism
spectrum on the 2020-10-07 - 2348 UTC pass. He is obsessed with ISS
and space. Apparently he knows the gravitational force of most of our
planets. ISS will be visible at -4.4 magnitude. 81 degrees max
elevation.
My primary goal is to demo SSTV reception. In between SSTV image
transmissions I will try to make a QSO on the digipeater, get a beacon
through, or at least receive packets.
I will be using my Kenwood TH-D72 and feeding audio to a laptop. On
the laptop I have RX-SSTV and UISS. I will not be using UISS to
transmit packets, just to show received packets to my friend and his
family.
Therefore, I will use the built in TNC on the TH-D72 to send packets.
I'll be in grid FM06 if anyone needs it, instead of my home grid of FM05.

It seems like the crossband repeater has been active since the new radio was
installed.? I have not heard or seen a schedule between APRS and the
repeater.? If anyone is trying to use the repeater during the SSTV event may
have issues.? The repeater input is most likely getting desense from the
SSTV transmissions from the Russian segment.

Gerald,
Some tech friends of mine were sitting at lunch back in 2008, talking about
time-syncs in our lives. We all generally agreed that social media was one
of the worst. As a result, we all made a pact to eliminate
fb/twitter/etc... and none of us have looked back. There are positives to
it, but from a bottom line standpoint, it really doesn't give you any more
than text messaging the right people in technical circles, following the
right email threads and being on the right IRC channels can give you. And,
you get to avoid clickbait, popup-adds and suggestions and other content
that are really all just adds in disguise. You basically allow other
people to filter through all the garbage and post things to an email thread
when it's actually good... allowing you to save precious and valuable
time. Oh, and did I mention... Politics? If you intend on avoiding
amateur radio politics by resorting to twitter, etc...be advised. You will
find a lot of amateurs raging, quite outlandishly about other amateur radio
operators, policies, members, even their families and the like...
basically, like you've seen on the -bb for the last several months but
magnitudes worst...
And don't get me wrong... i'm not some sort of pre-historic anti-technology
hater. I actually developed the core social media components for EAs
Madden 2013 title using a PS4 Tool (that's a playstation 4 development
kit). You can see me in the credits. This includes the Facebook, Twitter
and SMS hooks for the title. I understand the APIs, aggregators, etc... To
me, it's all about the SNR. I don't regret dropping off and I miss nothing
about it. I feel that it has intellectually saved me from a substantial
number of people that want to make themselves seem and feel important by
mostly making noise. The way I explain it to my kids is... imagine you're
trying to read a book, and someone is shouting over your shoulder every 10
seconds. Yes, you can do it... but gosh, it's annoying. There are ways to
stay informed without it and they are worth pursuing to me :-)
Anyhow, see how it all goes for you, post back in 6 months and let us know
how you feel then ;-)
#rant,
Joseph Armbruster

If you just follow AMSAT, most important stuff gets sent there in the first
place, or retweeted there. I know what you mean, though. 144 characters
(or whatever the current limit is) is not enough to say anything very
useful most of the time.

I have a twitter account. I have posted exactly two times, and that was
just to see that it worked. I follow (let's see if you see a pattern):
The official feed of the Los Angeles County Fire Dept.
The official feed of the Los Angeles City Fire Dept.
The official feed of the Glendale Fire Dept. (where I work)
The official feed of the Glendale Police Dept.
The official feed of Glendale Water and Power
The official feed of the Glendora Police Dept. (where I live)
The official feed of the Cal Fire
The official feed of the Cal OES
The official feed of MetroLink (how I get to work)
SpaceFlightNow
SpaceX
RocketLab
My wife (not that she ever posts anything.
Twitter never alerts to my phone - I have to go looking for it.

I have fundamentally opposed to TWITTER doe to the NONSENSE on it! However,
I see many references posted here.
I am having second thoughts about signing up. PLEASE, will someone direct
me to WHO I should follow regarding AMSAT and possibly others.
Many thanks,
