NASA astronaut Kate Rubins, KG5FYJ, astronaut Takuya Onishi,\nKF5LKS, of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and\ncosmonaut Anatoly Ivanishin of Roscosmos will launch early on July 7\n(0136 UTC) from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. The trio will\nspend approximately 4 months on station and will return to Earth in\nOctober.\n\nAn upgraded Soyuz MS-01 spacecraft will carry Rubins, Onishi, and\nIvanishin into space. They will test modified systems for 2 days -\n34 Earth orbits - before docking with the ISS on July 9. According\nto NASA, the modified Soyuz is equipped with upgraded thrusters that\nare fully redundant, additional micrometeoroid debris shielding,\nredundant electrical motors for the Soyuz docking probe, and\nincreased power with more photovoltaic cells on the spacecraft's\nsolar arrays. This week's launch will mark the first of at least two\nmissions in which enhanced Soyuz hardware will be tested and\nverified.\n\nOnce the hatches between the Soyuz and the ISS have been opened,\nExpedition 48 Commander Jeff Williams, KD5TVQ, of NASA, and Flight\nEngineers Oleg Skripochka, RN3FU, and Alexey Ovchinin of Roscosmos\nwill greet their new crewmates.\n\nThe Expedition 48 crew members will continue experiments in biology,\nbiotechnology, physical science, and Earth science.\n\nRubins, Onishi, and cosmonaut Ivanishin will replace Expedition 47\nCommander Tim Kopra, KE5UDN; Flight Engineer Tim Peake,\nKG5BVI/GB1SS, and Yuri Malenchenko, RK3DUP, who returned to Earth in\nmid-June after a little more than 6 months in space.\n\nNASA TV will cover the launch and the arrival online at,\nhttp://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html#public .\n\nAbout ARISS\n\nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative\nventure of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies\nthat support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,\nsponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American\nRadio Relay League (ARRL), and the National Aeronautics and Space\nAdministration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration\nof science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by\norganizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard\nthe ISS and students in classrooms or informal education venues. With the\nhelp of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with\nlarge audiences in a variety of public forums.  Before and during these \nradio\ncontacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about space,\nspace technologies, and amateur radio.

A second CubeSat will carry new instruments to measure atmospheric\nwater and carbon dioxide.\n\nThe third will carry four separate experiments including a specially \ndesigned\nreceiver and electronics with the ability to self-repair if hit by radiation\nand something breaks.\n\nThe Australian CubeSats will be launched as part of the European Union’s \nQB50\nprogram of 50 satellites from 27 countries including Brazil, China, Europe,\nRussia and the USA.\n\n\n  [ANS thanks WIA News and Jim Linton VK3PC for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nAMSAT Events\n\n\nInformation about AMSAT activities at other important events around\nthe country.

All 20 questions were\nanswered, with time to spare for a round of thanks from the audience and\na farewell from Jeff.\n\n* A direct contact via DN1JKG with students at Justus-Knecht-Gymnasium,\nBruchsal, Germany was successful Fri 2016-07-01.\n\nThe Justus-Knecht-Gymnasium is one of the biggest schools of general\neducation in the administrative district of Karlsruhe in Baden-Wurttemberg.\nMore than 1,300 students are taught by over one hundred teachers.\n\nOur focus is on a scientific profile with the succession of languages being\nEnglish-French or English-Latin. Furthermore, science and technology is a\nmajor subject starting in year 8. About 85% of our students opt for this\nprofile.\nFor four years now the Justus-Knecht-Gymnasium has been one of 44 model\nschools in Baden-Wurttemberg which allow students to take their A-levels\nat different speeds - either after eight or nine years of secondary \neducation.\n\nThe Justus-Knecht-Gymnasium is also participating in three different\neducational pilot projects. In the last two years leading up to their\nA-levels, students may take up Mathematics \"plus\" (an enhanced version of\nthe subject Mathematics, six lessons a week) or computer science as a major\nsubject as well as science and technology as a minor subject.\n\nAdditionally, there are optional subjects for senior students, such as for\nexample psychology, philosophy, drama, and especially natural sciences like\ngeology, computer algebra, computer science, and astronomy. The\nJustus-Knecht-Gymnasium cooperates with partners in various fields, \nespecially\nthe Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). In 2015 the town of Bruchsal\norganized the \"Heimattage Baden-Württemberg\" (Homeland Days of\nBaden-Württemberg).\n\nThe Justus Knecht-Gymnasium took part in different projects, e.g. \"Heimat\nErde\" (Homeland Earth). Students of different years worked on the topic.\nMoreover there's a study team working together with the amateur radio\noperators of Bruchsal. They established radio communication, built a\nstratosphere balloon and prepared the radio link to the ISS.\n\nsee:\nhttp://www.jkg.ka.schule-bw.de/\n(Note: above link is in German)\nBadenTV video link (Also in German)\nhttp://www.baden-tv.com/mediathek/video/iss-funkkontakt-date-mit-einem-\nraumfahrer/\n\n* A direct contact vie RZ9WWB with The All-Russian Public Organization\nRadio And Radiolûbitel 'Stva\" The Russian Amateur Radio Union\", in Ufa,\nRussia, was successful Thu 2016-06-30.\n\nUpcoming Contacts\n\n* ISS R&D Conference, San Diego, CA, telebridge via W6SRJ\nThe ISS callsign is presently scheduled to be NA1SS\nThe scheduled astronaut is Jeff Williams KD5TVQ\nContact is go for: Thu 2016-07-14 16:03:33 UTC 37 deg\n\nDescriptions of the schools participating in the contact are shown below.\n\nLake Elementary School, Oceanside, CA\nLake Elementary School opened in 1989 in southeastern Oceanside.
