An International Space Station Expedition 18 ARISS school contact has been planned with participants at Technopolis, Mechelen, Antwerpen, Belgium on 03 Janurary. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 1035 UTC. The contact will be a telebridge between stations NA1SS and VK4KHZ. The contact should be audible over eastern Australia. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. Audio from the contact should also be available via the AMSAT conference on EchoLink and via the 9010 Discovery reflector on IRLP. The participants are expected to conduct the conversation in English. Technopolis® is a permanent platform for science and technology in Mechelen, Flanders, Belgium. The mission of Technopolis® is to bring science and technology to the people. For this purpose Technopolis® offers permanent and temporary exhibitions, organises workshops, school activities and other outreach activities for 4 to 99 years old : a Science Week and Science Festival, an annual exhibition at the Royal Palace in Brussels and many activities for a variety of organisations (governmental, private and educational). Technopolis® is also involved in a broad range of European projects to promote science and technology to a broad audience. The radio contact with ISS will be incorporated in the planning during the Christmas holidays. It will be an extra activity to promote scientific and technical studies to the target group of schoolchildren and students. Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows: 1. How long could I live in ISS as a boy of 12 years old, without becoming ill? 2. How is it to make a walk in space? 3. Can you still hear the Big Bang? 4. What do you have to do if you have to do pipi in space? 5. Since when are you an astronaut? 6. Do you recycle your garbage or do you throw it outside? 7. How many days do you stay in the ISS? 8. Are you not afraid to fall to earth when you go outside the ISS? 9. How long do you have to study to become an astronaut? 10. How do you spend your free time in a space station? 11. What do you eat? 12. How do you take a bath? 13. When was your first spaceflight and how did you like it? 14. How does the launch of the Space Shuttle feel like? 15. Can you just go outside to fix something? 16. What are your feelings during launch, when you leave the earth? Information about the upcoming ARISS contacts can be found at http://www.ariss.org/upcoming.htm#NextContact <http://www.ariss.org/upcoming.htm#NextContact> . Next planned event(s): Aaxam Jatiya Vidyalaya, Guwahati, India telebridge via W6SRJ, Wed 2009-01-07 07:54 UTC ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the participating space agencies, NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA, with the AMSAT and IARU organizations from participating countries. ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board the International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters' interest in science, technology, and learning. Further information on the ARISS program is available on the website http://www.ariss.org/ <http://www.ariss.org/> (graciously hosted by the Radio Amateurs of Canada).

need info on orbitron auto doppler shift
by Tom 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

I hve been working the ISS for some time now. Manually tuning the up link and down link frequencies. I use orbitron and it works well for position. Has anyone interfaced orbitron to a TS-2000 so it automatically adjusts the doppler shift during the pass? If you have any information or a link you can send me i appreciate it. Does orbitron do this automatically or do i need to add some other software? Thanks, Tom W5KUB -- Check out my website at http://tmedlin.com and my live video site for hamfests at http://wa5kub.com

26 Jan '09

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Status Report January 26, 2009 1. Upcoming School Contacts An Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact has been scheduled for Castor Valley Elementary School in Greely, Ontario, Canada on Tuesday, January 27 at 19:33 UTC. A space club at the school has been formed for grades 1-8. Students from this group will ask questions of the astronaut. Students have learned about the ISS via the internet and videos and through guest speakers. They have been taught the correct radio protocol and have tracked and plotted the course of the ISS. All classes have taken part in space projects and activities. Media, members of the community, the school board and other dignitaries have been invited to attend. An Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact has been scheduled for CERAM EAI in Sophia Antipolis, Alpes Maritimes, France. The contact will take place on Thursday, January 29 at 14:54 UTC via telebridge station VK4KHZ in Australia. CERAM University conducts research projects in aviation, engineering and IT. Amateur radio communications has been introduced to students to prepare for the contact. Newspaper and television coverage is anticipated and webcast retransmission is possible. Ecole & Collège Jean XXIII, a private primary & secondary school in Pamiers, France, will experience an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Friday, January 30 at approximately 13:08 UTC. Five hundred students, ages 3 to 15 years old, attend the school. Students in the third cycle classes (3rd - 5th grades) and those in their second year of secondary school have studied radio communications. Radio operators from "l'Institut de Développement des Radiocommunications par l'Enseignement" (IDRE) have introduced radio technology to the children. Topics included remote command use, introduction to Morse code, ham radio phone contact, distress beacon search, electronic kits, and different ham radio station possibilities. This ARISS activity has been incorporated into the educational subjects of Astronomy, History of Space Exploration, Geography and Writing. Humber College Institute of Technology and Higher Learning in Toronto, Ontario, Canada has been scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Monday, February 2 at 17:29 UTC. The school has concluded an extensive research period in how waves travel through space and the Earth's atmosphere and plans to put theory into practice. It has assembled the primary ground station right on the main campus, and it is hoped that it will inspire future students in conducting similar studies. With help from the media department and a school contest, the school has been working to involve every student in this project. With over seventy thousand students, which include both full-time and part-time students, the college is excited to promote this project within the community. Pilton Bluecoat Junior School in Barnstaple, Devon, England has been scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Friday, February 6 at 14:48 UTC. The school has planned an event with the theme "Our Home in Space - The Final Frontier," in which students learn about Earth as part of the wider universe. All classes took part in the initial selection of questions; the final questions were chosen by the school council. Students have studied the development of the ISS and the history of man in space. Older children have written press releases. Städtisches Gymnasium Herzogenrath in Herzogenrath, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany has been scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Saturday, February 7 at 10:32 UTC. The school has an amateur radio club whose members initiated the ARISS contact. The students prepared a radio exhibition that was shared with the school. The English and History departments have also participated in this activity. Students competed in an essay contest and created projects related to the "Space Race." Newspapers and television stations have been invited to cover the event. College of Agriculture, Central Agricultural University in Imphhal, Assam, India has been scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Sunday, February 8 at 10:06 UTC via telebridge station VK4KHZ in Australia. 2. Children's Hospital Contact Successful On Tuesday, January 20, patients at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, Canada spoke with Sandra Magnus, KE5FYE, during an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact. The children asked 16 questions of the astronaut via telebridge station ON4ISS in Belgium. Due to the hospital's infection protocol, media was kept from the event and unable to access or interview the students directly. A representative from another children's hospital in Calgary was present and was very impressed with the event; he plans to submit an ARISS application for his hospital. The audio was fed into the EchoLink AMSAT and JK1ZRW servers and into the IRLP Discovery reflector 9010. EchoLink received 20 connections from 14 countries, including one link node and two repeaters. 3. Astronaut Training Status On Friday, January 23, Jeff Williams, KD5TVQ, received a refresher course covering the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) radio equipment and operations. Williams is scheduled to launch to the ISS in September and will take over as commander in November 2009. 4. General Voice Contacts Mike Fincke, KE5AIT and Yuri Lonchakov, RA3DT made several general voice contacts over the last week. Among those contacted were stations in France, Spain, Chile, Italy and the Netherlands. 5. ARRL QST Covers ARISS News The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) printed 4 Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) news items in its February 2009 issue of QST. On page 12, the "In Brief" column (a "what's been happening at ARRL recently) mentions ARISS' 25th commemorative activities "Inside Hq -- 2008 Year-End Review" (page 13) mentions that ARISS "celebrated its 350th QSO (contact)." A story on pages 54-55, "Amateur Radio and Public Education Make for a Bright Future" is about a Kentucky high school teacher who included amateur radio in his science curriculum. There is one small part about him being excited about his students being able to garner an ARISS contact. The "75, 50, and 25 Years Ago" column on page 102 shows the cover of February 1984 QST with Owen Garriott on the front, and the column lists two bullet items for the February 1984-25 years-ago section: the first being about Owen on the cover, and the second being that QST printed an interview of Owen, and it says: "We all hope that Amateur Radio will continue to be a part of the space shuttle missions."

ISS frequencies
by Tom 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Does anyone know if the ISS will continue to use the v/u freqs 145.99 67hz up and 437.8 down or will they revert back to the other v/u frequencies? Seems that the new freqs are much easier to use since dopler shift is less a problem on the uplink. It also appears that the u/v repeater is off. Does anyone know the schedule?

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Status Report January 19, 2009 1. Upcoming School Contacts Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, Canada has been scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Tuesday, January 20 at 18:06 UTC via telebridge station ON4ISS in Belgium. A space club has been formed at the hospital and those children participating in the club have learned about the ISS via videos, the internet and guest speakers. They have learned to use correct radio protocol and have tracked and plotted the course of the ISS. They have also created artwork to be displayed during the contact. Media coverage of the event is expected. An Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact has been scheduled for Castor Valley Elementary School in Greely, Ontario, Canada on Tuesday, January 27 at 19:30 UTC. A space club has been formed at the school for grades 1-8. Students from this group will ask questions of the astronaut. Students have learned about the ISS via video, internet and through guest speakers. They have been taught the correct radio protocol and have tracked and plotted the course of the ISS. All classes have taken part in space projects and activities. Media, members of the community, the school board and other dignitaries have been invited to attend. An Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact has been scheduled with CERAM EAI in Sophia Antipolis, Alpes Maritimes, France. The contact will take place on Thursday, January 29 at 14:54 UTC via telebridge station VK4KHZ in Australia. CERAM University conducts research projects in aviation, engineering and IT. Amateur radio communication has been introduced to students to prepare for the contact. Newspaper and television coverage is anticipated and webcast retransmission is possible. Ecole & Collège Jean XXIII, a private primary & secondary school in Pamiers, France, will experience an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Friday, January 30 at approximately 13:08 UTC. Five hundred students, ages 3 to 15 years old, attend the school. Students in the third cycle classes (3rd - 5th grades) and those in their second year of secondary school have studied radio communications. Radio operators from "l'Institut de Développement des Radiocommunications par l'Enseignement" (IDRE) have introduced radio technology to the children. Topics covered included remote command use, introduction to Morse code, ham radio phone contact, distress beacon search, electronic kits, and different ham radio station possibilities. This ARISS activity has been incorporated into the educational subjects of Astronomy, History of Space Exploration, Geography and Writing. 2. Richard Garriott Debrief An Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program debriefing session was held with spaceflight participant Richard Garriott, W5KWQ, on Tuesday, January 13. Richard gave a status on the ISS Ham equipment onboard the ISS and provided valuable feedback on ARISS operations. 3. Cosmonaut Training Status Cosmonaut Dmitri Kondratiev received training on the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) equipment. He is scheduled to fly on Expedition 20.
