VIDEO recorded inside ISS, Brasil astronaut making QSO's with hams!
by Cor 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

Hello All, This is the first time that I saw a VIDEO from an astronaut making random QSO's with hams (the video was recorded inside ISS!). Fabiano (PY5RX) made a QSO with first Brasil astronaut - Marcos Pontes (PYØAEB) at 03-April-2006 (14:34utc). At 21 April 2006 Marcos Pontes was already back on earth and had a speech (about his ISS mission) in Bauru city (Brasil). Fabiano was invited to come on stage to meet Marcos Pontes personaly in front of a big audiance. Fabiano gave Pontes a DVD with video & audio recordings which was made by Fabiano and Brasil TV station PARANA. At 13 November 2007 Fabiano have received a video from - Marcos Pontes which was recorded by US astronaut Bill McArthur in ISS. The video is published on my website: http://iss.ontwikkel.nl 73's Cor PD0RKC Ham Radio In Space http://pd0rkc.ontwikkel.nl

SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR N1ORC - AMSAT A/C #31468 *Expedition Crews Work Together* Astronauts Clay Anderson and Peggy WhitsonImage above: Flight Engineer Clay Anderson and Commander Peggy Whitson take a break from handover activities to talk to the press Monday. Credit: NASA TV TO VIEW IMAGE GO TO:http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/main/index.html The newly arrived Expedition 16 crew members are familiarizing themselves with life aboard the International Space Station as Expedition 15 nears the end of its mission. The Expedition 16 crew, Commander Peggy Whitson and Flight Engineers Yuri Malenchenko and Clay Anderson, joined with Expedition 15 Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and Flight Engineer Oleg Kotov for several hours of dedicated handover activity on Monday. Whitson and Anderson reviewed the Crew Medical Restraint System and the exercise equipment aboard the station. Malenchenko began his first shuttle photography training session. The station crew will use digital cameras to take high-resolution images of space shuttle Discovery's thermal protection system when it approaches the station for docking later this month. Whitson, Malenchenko and spaceflight participant Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor docked with the station aboard their Soyuz TMA-11 spacecraft at 10:50 a.m. Friday. Expedition 15 welcomed the new crew aboard the station when the hatches were opened at 12:22 p.m. Friday. Afterwards, Anderson, who joined Expedition 15 in June, became an Expedition 16 crew member when his seatliner was moved from the Soyuz TMA-10 spacecraft to Soyuz TMA-11. + Read more about the docking <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition16/exp16_ad…> + View launch day images <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/multimedia/exp16_TMA11_launch.html> Both crews will work together until Oct. 21, when Yurchikhin, Kotov and Shukor depart aboard Soyuz TMA-10. Anderson will remain with Expedition 16 and return to Earth with the Discovery crew on the STS-120 mission. + View crew daily timelines <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/timelines/index.html> + Read more about Expedition 15 <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition15/index.ht…> + Read more about Expedition 16 <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition16/index.ht…>

Discovery Crew Prepares for Landing Wednesday

SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR N1ORC - AMSAT A/C #31468 *Discovery Crew Prepares for Landing Wednesday* Image Above: The STS-120 crew members are interviewed by reporters live from Discovery. Image credit: NASA TV TO VIEW IMAGE GO TO:http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html The crew will spend today preparing for landing. Discovery’s first landing opportunity is at 1:02 p.m. EST Wednesday at Kennedy Space Center, Fla. Weather forecasters predict favorable landing conditions once a cold front passes through late Tuesday night. The backup landing sites at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., and White Sands Space Harbor, N.M., will not be considered Wednesday. + View landing ground tracks <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/shuttlemissions/sts120/news/landi…> Space shuttle Discovery’s crew left the International Space Station Monday morning after almost 11 days of joint operations with the Expedition 16 crew. The shuttle undocked from the station at 5:32 a.m. as they flew over the South Pacific. STS-120 Pilot George Zamka backed the orbiter about 400 feet from the station and performed a fly-around to allow crew members to collect video and imagery of the station in its new configuration. He completed the final separation engine burn at 7:15 a.m. The shuttle crew members used the shuttle robot arm and the 50-foot long Orbiter Boom Sensor System to conduct a late inspection of the thermal protection system. During its stay at the station, which began Oct. 25, the STS-120 crew continued the on-orbit construction of the station with the installation of the Harmony Node 2 module and the relocation of the P6 truss. The crew installed Harmony Oct. 26 and did four spacewalks at the station. During the third spacewalk, the crew installed the P6 truss and solar array pair in its permanent location outboard of the port truss. The fourth spacewalk was changed during the mission so that the crew could repair a torn solar array on the P6 truss. Following the successful repair work, the crew was able to fully deploy the solar array. Discovery also delivered a new station crew member, Flight Engineer Daniel Tani. He replaced astronaut Clayton Anderson. Anderson arrived at the station in June with STS-117.
