Jim,
Just for reference, I am using the 64 bit version of VSPE with Win 7
and haven't had any crashing problems.
I have also used it with FLDIGI and N3FJP...and SATPC32 simultaneously!

Ron,
RS0ISS is a callsing of the station with SSID -4 -3 etc.
ARISS is an alias for stations RS0ISS*and as Paul wrote also for station on
NO-84.
In the past it ARISS was also alias for station W3ADO-1 on NO-44, but not
today.
So, if stations are working with the same alias, then you can connect with the
same APRS PATH configuration to few stations (with different call sign).

ARISS is an abbreviation for "Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station"
and is a program that lets students experience the excitement of amateur radio
by talking directly with crew members of the International Space Station.
Astronauts aboard the ISS use these amateur radio callsigns -
Russian: RS0ISS
USA: NA1SS
European: DP0ISS, OR4ISS, IR0ISS
Packet Station Mailbox: RS0ISS-11 and RS0ISS-1

Thanks Armond, I'll change it to ARISS and that will cover the other
callsigns plus NO-84.

I was under the impression that we were voluntarily not digipeating through
NO-44 due to the problem it causes over Great Britain, switching over to the
North American terrestrial APRS frequency under certain conditions. GB and
Europe don't use the same terrestrial APRS frequency so the satellite causes
interference with other two meter operations.
Has that changed?

Hey all, thanks to a nice email from Patrick Stoddard and the others,
and actually reading the manual way past my bed time, I managed to
digipeat through the ISS this morning. I actually planned on just
RXing to be safe but while my screen showed the info of a station
repeatedly beaconing I clicked a random button on my radio to clear
the display and it happened to be my beacon button! it was quickly
digipeated back by RS0ISS. I can see it on ariss.net now.
20150908100716 : KG4AKV-5]3U4U5Y,RS0ISS*,qAR,W0JW-6:'jGX K\]My 1st
time digipeating thru the ISS! FM05=
Very cool! Now to get a QSO. I might have to get a friend to track and
hold the antenna while I type very slowly T9word style like on the old
cell phones.

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 and December 31, 2016.
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 1, 2015. Proposal
information and documents can be found at www.arrl.org/hosting-an-
ariss-contact.
Informational Sessions
To help organizations in preparing their proposals, the ARISS
Program Coordinator will offer hour-long online information sessions.
These are designed to provide more information regarding US ARISS
contacts and the proposal process and offer an opportunity to ask
questions. While attending an online information session is not
required, it is strongly encouraged.
These will be offered Thursday, September 17, at 2000 UTC; Tuesday,
September 22, at 2000 UTC, and Wednesday, September 30, at 2300 UTC.
Advance registration is necessary. E-mail ARISS (ariss@xxxx.xxxx to
sign up for an information session.
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 and educators
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 contact dates and times.
Amateur Radio organizations around the world, NASA, and space
agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe sponsor this educational
opportunity by providing the equipment and operational support to
enable direct communication between crew on the ISS and students
around the world via Amateur Radio. In the US, the program is managed
by AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation) and ARRL (American
Radio Relay League) in partnership with NASA.
More Information
Interested parties can find more information about the program at
www.ariss.org and www.arrl.org/ARISS.

Subject: Sunlight periods for cubesats deployed from the Space Station
Hi All,
Has anyone got any details of how the sunlit/eclipse periods vary for
cubesats that are deployed from the ISS up to the time that they deorbit?
All information would be gratefully received!
