Dom - Here is today's weekly status report to NASA of ARISS activities in the past week.
73, Perry, W3PK ====================================================
ARISS Status September 25, 2006
1. Swiss School Contact Successful
Thomas Reiter, DF4TR, spoke with students from the Gymnase Intercantonal de la Broye at the Musee de l'aviation militaire in Payerne, Switzerland on Friday, September 22. Eight students' questions were answered as 50 people gathered around the radio. Another 300 witnessed the contact in the hall where the event was transmitted on screen by amateur television (ATV). Media coverage included newspapers and television.
2. George Washington University Contact Successful
Space visitor Anousheh Ansari participated in a contact with her alma mater, George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, D.C. on Friday, September 22. As Ansari was Japanese participant, Dice-K Enomoto's back up on the Soyuz flight, she did not have time to get her U.S. license. Jeff Williams, KD5TVQ, acted as the control operator during the contact. Students from several area schools participated in the event: Eastern Middle School, Silver Spring, Md. (a NASA Explorer School); School Without Walls Senior High School, Washington, D.C.; Stevens Elementary School, Washington, D.C.; and Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, Alexandria, Va. Six students were able to have their questions answered. The event was held in the GWU Marvin Center amphitheater where approximately 125 people gathered. Television stations Fox TV 5, ABC WJLA 7 and news channel 8 provided coverage of the GWU ARISS contact as did the Washington Post and some other local papers. See: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/22/AR2006092201 496.html

The contact video may be seen here: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1789656846413123353
The university posted a press release of the event. http://my.gwu.edu/mod/calendar/default.cfm?event_id=9660&option=view&... 22/06
3. ARISS - Illinois Contact, a Success
Astronaut Jeff Williams, KD5TVQ, had his own contact scheduled for September 22 with his crew-pick school, Crete-Monee Intermediate Center in Crete, Illinois. Nineteen students asked one question each as the entire student body of 800 children looked on. The Kankakee Amateur Radio Society provided streaming audio via W9AZ 146.94 repeater on http://www.w9az.com. Two television channels, 7 and 2 covered the event. Crete's local newspaper, The Star, posted an online article: http://www.starnewspapers.com/star/spnews/cup/24-cup3.htm
4. Upcoming School Contacts
The ARISS team continues to work on scheduling the Expedition 14 school contacts.
5. ISS Makes General Contacts
Besides making the scheduled ARISS school contact with George Washington University, Anousheh Ansari has been making general contacts with stations in the USA and Canada using the callsign RS0ISS. News of her contacts has already hit the media. See: http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/news/story.html?id=852560db-b97c-4565-afa f-01a1ca1e4fce&k=82481
6. ARRL Article Covers Hams Onboard ISS
ARRL ran a story on the shuttle astronauts visiting the ISS. The amateur radio payload PCSAT2 was picked up during an EVA and returned to Earth. "Five Radio Amateurs Now Aboard ISS; Power Upgrade, PCSat2 Retrieval Set" may be viewed on: http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2006/09/11/101/?nc=1
7. ARRL Covers Expedition 14 Launch
ARRL ran an article on the launch of the Expedition 14 crew. The story, entitled, "Shift Change: New Two-Ham Crew, First Female Civilian Visitor on Way to ISS" may be found at: http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2006/09/18/102/?nc=1
8. ARRL Press Release on Three ARISS Contacts
On Friday, September 22, three ARISS contacts were performed by three different people onboard the ISS. "ARISS Plans Triple Header of Ham Radio School Contacts" may be viewed on: http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2006/09/21/100/?nc=1
I wonder if there is any reason why Anousheh is only making random contacts with US and Canadian hams......?

Orbits dictate when they will be over certain parts of the globe. Perhaps the time schedule has not worked out for other parts yet?

Matter of taste could be? You could check why on www.qrz.com for a partial explanation:) Just type VE2DWE in the call sign search box...

Hi Luc,
Nice picture, nothing else there!
Anyway, what I was trying to ascertain was that just before she went up there was an article somewhere that said that she was only going to be making contacts with US stations! I just wondered why the selectivity! At 7.00am this morning she was calling for an Iranian station so she was certainly over Europe and was on the radio!
Just curious!

She doesn't have a license of her own, so when using the RS0ISS call she has to observe Russian third party traffic rules. Or at least that's what I read somewhere ;-)
