There is a great deal of information on the ARISS web site www.ariss.org http://www.ariss.org . News of note is usually posted on the main page. This includes the fact that our first (of two) next generation radio systems is getting ready for launch on SpaceX-20 (tentative launch date--March 2). Look under the news tab for upcoming school contacts (with a 145.80 downlink). Weekly reports provide a view of what is happening in the ARISS community. General Contacts Tab provides info on working the ISS (Primarily APRS and SSTV downlinks). Joanne's APRS resource guide is linked on this page. The link to the SSTV galley can also be linked from this site.

Enjoy!

1. Is this the best way or place to post such questions?

2. I have studied past posts and other sources but can't find answers to

questions below.

3. I am trying to listen to ISS. N2Y0 and HeavensAbove list the same pass

for my location today (FM14be, 16:39 local time, elevation 56 degrees) but

AMSAT predictor says 4 degrees for that pass. Why the difference?

4. N2Y0 says up/down is 437.550/437.550, ASFK, inactive. HeavensAbove says

145.825/447.550 FM

active. Who is right? How can I get correct frequencies to listen to?

thanks

Isaac
