ISS Packet is back on the air on 145.825 with PCSAT and ANDE, giving over a dozen satellite access windows per day for packets transmitted on 145.825.
You can send your Satellite Simulated Emergency Test message via any of these satellites as deomonstrated below by Paulo getting his message out via the ISS:
Hello Bob, once again from CT2IWW.
I was sucessfull in getting an SSET email digipeated via the ISS, this morning. Here's a copy of the message as received by email:
/sset message test via iss 12:14z
Message received by MacAPRS IGate station WU2Z Located in NO BRUNSWICK, NJ APRS path = CT2IWW>CQ,RS0ISS-4*,WIDE2-2,qAO,EA4EKH-6
/ Any idea what is that qAO in the path?
The callsign after the qao construct is the callsign of the SATgate that heard the packet and injected it into the global APRS Internet channel. When any APRS Igate injects any packet into the APRS-IS, the path is modified with the QAO construct and the callsign of the Igate station.
Bob, WB4APR
Not so fast... The ISS ham radio has just been powered off in preparation for tomorrow's EVA.
