Antenna for 1.2 GHz or 2.4 GHz
by Ron Seiler 17 Oct '19

17 Oct '19

Hello All, Considering the satellite frequencies currently in use and the frequencies planned for the future, would you install a 1.2 GHz antenna or a 2.4 GHZ antenna if you only had space for one additional antenna? I am tending toward 1.2 GHz at this time. 73, Ron VA7VW

ARISS Contact Applications (United States) Message to US Educators Amateur Radio on the International Space Station Contact Opportunity Call for Proposals New Proposal Window is October 1, 2019 to November 30, 2019 The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program 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, 2020 and December 31, 2020. 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 30, 2019. Proposal information and documents can be found at https://www.ariss.org . 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 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 dates and times of the radio contact. Amateur Radio organizations around the world with the support of NASA and space agencies in Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe present educational organizations with this opportunity. The ham radio organizations' volunteer efforts provide the equipment and operational support to enable communication between crew on the ISS and students around the world using Amateur Radio.

Upcoming ARISS contact with Science & Technologie e.V. / event: Science Days, Teningen, Germany
by n4csitwo＠bellsouth.net 16 Oct '19

16 Oct '19

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Science & Technologie e.V. / event: Science Days, Teningen, Germany on 17 Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 12:03 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between OR4ISS and DN1EME. The contact should be audible over Germany and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English. Story: Science Days The Science Days is the first German science festival, which was founded in 2001. Around 15.000 students of different school levels attend this science festival every year. The Science Days are located in Germany's biggest family park "Europa-Park" in Rust and are organized by Science & Technologie e.V., a non-profit organization. GHSE School The questions for the contact come from students of GHSE. GHSE stands for "Gewerbliche und Hauswirtschaftlich-Sozialpflegerische Schulen Emmendingen" in Germany and offers education with a special vocational focus on industry, ecotrophology as well as applied social sciences. The industry-focused part of the school was already founded in 1836 and has since been evolving into a wide variety of educational directions for all sorts of students with all kinds of different talents and interests. Our campus includes a large workshop-area. GHSE offers educational qualification ranging from a "Hauptschulabschluss" (certificate of secondary education) up to the "Abitur" (general qualification for university entrance) and is also a vocational college within the German dual education system. There are currently around 2100 enrolled students at GHSE. 45% of them attend the "Berufsschule" (vocational college). Around 16% are found in the applied social sciences field. The rest is distributed among other areas such as care-giving, information technology, management, mechatronics and several other fields. Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows: 1. Can you describe what the feeling when the rocket was launched? 2. What were your first impressions when you arrived at the ISS? 3. How did your family react when they learned about your trip into space? 4. Which time zone are you using on ISS and do night and day light changes play a role at all for your working day? 5. How does it feel to float in space and how do you like zero gravity? 6. We've heard that there are no windows in direction of outer space. Why is that and how does it feel like to see the stars from the station or during an outdoor mission? 7. The laws of which country are applicable in the ISS and in general there in space and do you have to pay tax for the money you earn in space? Who pays your wages? 8. Are there any scientific discoveries or important experiments which have been recently made? 9. Can see you visible changes occurring through the climate change? 10. Who makes decisions regarding, for example, who is allowed to do a space-walk? The space agencies or the commander? 11. Have you or another astronaut ever lost something on the ISS? 12. Do you think the Bosch reactor will be successfully implemented soon and how will it affect the ISS? 13. What do you think about space tourism? 14. Are private conversations with your family also allowed or do all conversations have to be carried out through the space agencies? 15. Was it worth it to put so much work into aerospace, now where you see the results or are you disappointed? 16. What is the weirdest thing you have on the ISS? 17. What do you do in order to prevent injuries and what medical equipment do you use in the case of an emergency? 18. What did you regret or miss when you flew into space? 19. What was the biggest damage you had to repair in the ISS and what happens with an ISS module if it's irreparably damaged?

In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org.
