Here are a few websites that are space related that you might want to check out. (***)
The Adler Planetarium in Chicago, IL, has on-line free presentations. Check out:
Adler Astronomy Live takes place every other Thursday at 12:00 pm CT (17:00 UTC) and lasts around 45 minutes. The September 10 topic is The Aquarius Project.
https://www.adlerplanetarium.org/event/adler-astronomy-live/.%C2%A0 I was the control operator and mentor for an ARISS contact that was held from Adler back on 2002-12-29. If you ever get to Chicago, check out the museum.
If you are looking for space memorabilia to buy, then check out The American Space Museum and Space Walk of Fame in Titusville, FL. They are holding an on-line auction of space stuff. If you ever come to watch a launch at KSC, be sure to check this museum out. It looks small from the outside but it is anything but on the inside. They tell you they have Friends in Low Places as much of their displays come from the KSC workers. http://spacewalkoffame.org/

There is a new radio on board the ISS. The Kenwood D710GA is now in use. The crossband repeater is now available when the radio is not being used for ARISS school contacts.
The frequencies are 145.99 MHz up (67 tone) and 437.800 MHz down. Watch the Doppler on the downlink.

A multi-point telebridge contact means that each student will be on the telebridge from their own home.

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). 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 (STEAM) 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.
