But, we are still alive and we are very active with news\non our website and Twitter.\n\nAMSAT-SM is the Swedish section of AMSAT with aprox 150 members\n(2015). One of our objectives is to inform Swedish hams about the fun\nwith amateur satellites! Not many SM hams are active via satellite at\nthe moment. With the help from our swedish webpage and HF-net we hope\nthat more swedish hams should be using amateur satellites.\nThe AMSAT-SM annual meeting is held every spring. We run a HF-net on\n80 meters every Sunday with lots of news about satellites and space.\n\nAMSAT-SM website\nhttp://www.amsat.se/\n\nEnglish language website\nhttp://www.amsat.se/english-info/\n\nAMSAT-SM is using the Internet homepage for members information and\nnews. You can find articles, news, links and lots of more information\nabout satellites. The large main page is only in Swedish because\nthere are allready a lot of good sites about amateur satellites in\nenglish. We provide the following information:\n\nFAQ and technical page\nNew amateur satellites update\nLatest telemetry from several microsats\nA news service on the homepage called e-Journal\nActive on Twitter, Facebook and Youtube.

This video\nfollows the payload we put on NROL-36, aka OUTSat, which launched\nfrom VAFB and carried 11 cubes. The process is very similar to what\nyour satellites are going through now.\"\n\nhttps://youtu.be/6OMT493w29M\n\nPhotos of the P-POD integration in the Cal Poly clean room, which is\nwhere this video begins the story, can be viewed at\nhttp://www.amsat.org/. The last two CubeSats were integrated in their\nP-POD March 26. All of the P-PODs then head up to the Naval\nPostgraduate School next week for integration in the NPSCuL and\nacceptance testing, and then be sent on to Vandenberg (cue video) -\n\n[ANS Thanks to Justin D.

Clarke Institute for Space Education, in partnership with\nNanoRacks LLC, announce an authentic science, technology, engineering\nand mathematics, or STEM, opportunity for school districts across the\nU.S. and space station partner nations. The newest flight\nopportunity, Mission 9 to the International Space Station, or ISS,\ngives students across a community the ability to design and propose\nreal experiments to fly in low-Earth orbit on the ISS. This\nopportunity is part of the Student Spaceflight Experiments Program,\nor SSEP.\n\nEach participating community will receive a real microgravity\nresearch minilaboratory capable of supporting a single microgravity\nexperiment and all launch services to fly the minilab to the space\nstation in spring 2016 and return it to Earth. An experiment design\ncompetition in each community -- engaging typically 300+ students --\nallows student teams to design and propose real experiments vying for\ntheir community's reserved minilab. Content resources for teachers\nand students support foundational instruction on science in\nmicrogravity and experimental design. Additional SSEP programming\nleverages the experiment design competition to engage the community,\nembracing a learning community model for STEM education.\n\nThis competition is open to students in grades 5-12 and college.\nInformal education groups and organizations are also encouraged to\nparticipate. Interested communities must inquire about the program no\nlater than April 30, 2015. The National Center for Earth and Space\nScience Education is available to help interested communities in the\nU.S. secure the needed funding.\n\nTo learn more about this opportunity, visit the SSEP Mission 9 to\nInternational Space Station National Announcement of Opportunity at\nhttp://tinyurl.com/ANS095-New-Flight-Opp.\n\nSSEP is enabled through a strategic partnership with NanoRacks LLC\nworking with NASA under a Space Act Agreement as part of the\nutilization of the International Space Station as a national\nlaboratory. The Center for the Advancement of Science in Space\n(http://www.iss-casis.org/) is a national partner on SSEP. To view a\nlist of all SSEP national partners, visit\nhttp://ssep.ncesse.org/national-partners/.\n\nIf you have any questions about this opportunity, please email SSEP\nNational Program Director Jeff Goldstein at [email protected].\n\n[ANS thanks NASA Education Express Message -- April 2, 2015 for the\nabove information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\n21st Century Teacher Academy\n\nThe 21st Century Teacher Academy, or 21CTA, is a unique educator\nprofessional development workshop opportunity for K-12 educators. The\nworkshop is designed to immerse teachers in the best practices and\nmethodologies to develope and implement real-world, project based learning,\nor PBL, curriculum using NASA's missions. 21CTA is sponsored by the Office\nof Education and Public Outreach at NASA's Ames Research Center, and funded\nby NASA's Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate.\n\n21CTA is a two-week workshop held July 8-22, 2015. The workshop will be led\nby content experts, PBL experts, technical subject matter experts and a\nmaster teacher. The workshop will take place at NASA's Ames Research Center\nin Moffett Field, California. Attendees will receive a $4,500 stipend.\nTeacher teams are highly encouraged!\n\nApplications are due April 30, 2015.

Details on submitting proposals can be\nfound below in the attached ARRL News Release.\n\nMessage to US Educators\n\nAmateur Radio on the International Space Station\n\nContact Opportunity\n\nCall for Proposals\nProposal Window February 15 - April 15, 2015\n\nThe Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program\nis seeking formal and informal education institutions and\norganizations, individually or working together, to host an Amateur\nRadio contact with a crew member on board the ISS.  ARISS anticipates\nthat the contact would be held between *January 1, 2016 and June 30,\n2016*. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will determine the exact\ncontact dates. To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS\nis looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of\nparticipants and integrate the contact into a well-developed\neducation plan.\n\nThe deadline to submit a proposal is April 15, 2015.\nProposal information and documents can be found at\nwww.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.\n\nThe Opportunity\n\nCrew members aboard the International Space Station will participate\nin scheduled Amateur Radio contacts. These radio contacts are\napproximately 10 minutes in length and allow students and educators\nto interact with the astronauts through a question-and-answer session.\n\nAn ARISS contact is a voice-only communication opportunity via\nAmateur Radio between astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the space\nstation and classrooms and communities. ARISS contacts afford\neducation audiences the opportunity to learn firsthand from\nastronauts what it is like to live and work in space and to learn\nabout space research conducted on the ISS. Students also will have an\nopportunity to learn about satellite communication, wireless\ntechnology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human\nspaceflight and the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the\nISS, organizations must demonstrate flexibility to accommodate\nchanges in contact dates and times.\n\nAmateur Radio organizations around the world, NASA, and space\nagencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe sponsor this educational\nopportunity by providing the equipment and operational support to\nenable direct communication between crew on the ISS and students\naround the world via Amateur Radio. In the US, the program is managed\nby AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation) and ARRL (American\nRadio Relay League) in partnership with NASA.\n\nMore Information\n\nInterested parties can find more information about the program at\nwww.ariss.org and www.arrl.org/ARISS.\n\nFor proposal information and more details such as expectations,\nproposal guidelines and proposal form, and dates and times of\nInformation Sessions go to www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.\n\nPlease direct any questions to ariss at arrl.org.\n\n[ANS thanks ARISS for the above information]\n\n\n---------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nARISS News\n\n+ A Successful contact was made between CEPES, Jodoigne, Belgium and\nAstronaut Samantha Cristoforetti IZØUDF using NA1SS The contact began\n04-01 09:20 UTC  and lasted about nine and a half minutes.
