ARISS Video
by Michael Chen 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Hi, I am looking for a video clip about ARISS contact (or it's not actually amateur radio but a show of ISS-ground communication), which is taken in live HD video in the ISS of three astronauts as well as on the ground. The astronauts answer the questions asked by the ground like we do in ARISS. I saw this video in the lobby of NASA HQ in Washington, DC. It's something like IMAX Space Station but it's not. Can anybody tell me the name of this video?

SO-50 during 0215 UTC pass
by Bryan Herbert 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

I was doing a demo for the Santa Clarita Amateur Radio Club during the 0215 UTC pass. I know I made contact with K6YK in CM97 but then another station called, I want to say it was K0OU in EM28, however it was the end of the pass and there's just too much static on the recorder for play back. Does anyone else have a copy of the audio that they can send me? -- Bryan Herbert - KE6ZGP Newhall, CA. DM04RJ USA http://bryanherbert.com http://twitter.com/ke6zgp
