The astronauts, John Shoffner, KO4MJC and Woody\nHoburg, KB3HTZ, provided an opportunity for amateur radio operators to\nestablish contact with the orbiting space station.\n\nThe Amateur Radio on the ISS (ARISS) program facilitated these voice\ncontacts, allowing radio operators to communicate with the astronauts\nonboard the ISS. As the news spread on social media, amateur radio\noperators shared their excitement about making successful contacts with the\nastronauts.\n\nHams from different parts of the world, including Europe, the United\nStates, and the United Kingdom, shared their experiences of communicating\nwith the ISS crew on Twitter. The astronauts were actively seeking\ninformation about the location of each station, showing a keen interest in\nthe diverse range of contacts they were making.\n\nThe ARISS program encourages participants to submit QSL cards to\ncommemorate their successful contacts. These cards serve as proof of\ncommunication with the International Space Station. The ARISS website\nprovides information on how to send in QSL cards and further details about\nthe program. The QSL contacts are regional so find the proper one at:\nhttps://ariss.org/qsl-cards.html\n\nFor many radio operators, making contact with the International Space\nStation is a memorable experience. The ability to communicate with\nastronauts orbiting the Earth, even if only for a brief moment, is a\ntestament to the power of amateur radio and its ability to connect people\nacross vast distances.\n\nAs the ARISS program continues to facilitate these voice contacts, space\nand amateur radio enthusiasts eagerly await further opportunities to\nestablish communication with the astronauts onboard the ISS. The chance to\nexchange greetings and information with those who reside in space remains a\nunique experience that showcases the wonders of technology and human\ningenuity.\n\nOperators interested in attempting a contact with the ISS crew, should set\nthe downlink frequency to 437.800 MHz FM and listen for activity. The\nuplink frequency is 145.990 MHz FM with a PL tone of 67 Hz. The ARISS\nwebsite and the AMSAT status page provide information on the ISS crew's\nradio activities.

On May 30, 2023, a total of seventeen people\nfrom five different countries were in Earth orbit.\n\nThe population in orbit skyrocketed with the launch of China's Shenzhou 16\nmission, which took place on May 29 at 9:31 p.m. EDT. This three-person\nmission propelled the overall count to a new record. Previously, the record\nstood at fourteen people, achieved during the privately funded Inspiration4\nmission in September 2021.\n\nThe current count consists of four crews representing various space\nagencies and private ventures. The first crew, Shenzhou 16, consists of\nChinese taikonauts Jing Haipeng, Zhu Yangzhu, and Gui Haichao, who have\njoined the astronauts already aboard China's Tiangong space station. This\nmission contributes three members to the total count.\n\nThe second crew, Shenzhou 15, consists of Fei Junlong, Deng Qingming, and\nZhang Lu. They have been residing aboard the Tiangong space station since\nNovember 2022 and are expected to return to Earth in early June. Their\npresence adds another three individuals to the record-breaking count.\n\nThe third crew, Expedition 69, comprises seven members from different\ncountries. It includes cosmonauts Sergey Prokopyev, Dmitry Petelin, and\nAndrey Fedyaev from Russia's Roscosmos, as well as astronauts Frank Rubio,\nStephen Bowen, KI5BKB, and Warren \"Woody\" Hoburg, KB3HTZ, from NASA.\nEmirati astronaut Sultan AlNeyadi, KI5VTV, of the United Arab Emirates\n(UAE) also joins them. These individuals are currently on the International\nSpace Station (ISS), contributing significantly to the total population in\norbit.\n\nThe fourth crew, Axiom-2, is composed of Axiom Space astronaut Peggy\nWhitson, private astronaut John Shoffner, KO4MJC, and Saudi Arabian\nastronauts Ali AlQarni, 7Z1AJ, and Rayyanah Barnawi, 7Z1RB. They departed\nthe ISS aboard SpaceX's Crew Dragon \"Freedom\" on May 30. The Axiom-2 crew\nsplashed down off the Florida panhandle near Panama City around 11 p.m. on\nMay 30, reducing the count to thirteen people.\n\nInterestingly, the current record-breaking count coincides with another\nmilestone. Barnawi, a member of the Ax-2 mission, became the 600th person\nto enter Earth orbit. She also holds the distinction of being the first\nSaudi woman in space, as she launched alongside her crew on May 21.\n\nAlthough the record stands at seventeen people in Earth orbit, it's worth\nnoting that a recent record for the most people in space (not just in Earth\norbit) was set briefly. For approximately five minutes, a total of twenty\nindividuals were off the planet. This record occurred when the six members\nof Virgin Galactic's Unity 25 SpaceShipTwo crew embarked on a suborbital\nspaceflight, coinciding with three Chinese taikonauts residing aboard\nTiangong and eleven astronauts, cosmonauts, and spaceflight participants\naboard the International Space Station.\n\nThe previous record for the most people in space simultaneously was set\nduring Blue Origin's New Shepard NS-19 suborbital flight on December 11,\n2021, when there were briefly nineteen individuals off Earth.\n\nSince the year 2000, there has been an unbroken presence of humans in\nspace, starting with the first crew to inhabit the International Space\nStation. China's completion of its three-module Tiangong space station last\nyear marks another significant milestone. The Shenzhou 16 crew represents\nthe station's fifth contingent since 2021.\n\n[ANS thanks Robert Z.

Weekly\nupdates are completely adequate for most amateur satellites. TLE bulletin\nfiles are updated Thursday evenings around 2300 UTC, or more frequently if\nnew high interest satellites are launched.

Russia’s Soyuz spacecraft,\nwhich was the sole vehicle to carry crews to the space station for nine\nyears, is currently NASA’s backup if SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket or Crew\nDragon spacecraft suffer significant delays or failures.\n\nNASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, KD5PLB, were in the final\nstages of training for launch on the first Starliner crew mission, called\nthe Crew Flight Test, as soon as July 21. They were slated to lift off from\nCape Canaveral on a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket and fly to the\nspace station on the Starliner spacecraft for a test flight lasting about\none week, then return to Earth for a parachute-assisted landing in New\nMexico.\n\nThat would have paved the way for Boeing to start launching regular NASA\ncrew rotation flights to the space station on a schedule of about once per\nyear beginning in 2024.\n\nBoeing and NASA officials did not provide an estimate for when engineers\nmight resolve the newest technical problems on the Starliner spacecraft.\n\n[ANS thanks SpaceflightNow for the above information]\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nARISS NEWS\n\nAmateurs and others around the world may listen in on contacts between\namateurs operating in schools and allowing students to interact with\nastronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station.
