The webpages listed below were all reviewed for accuracy. Out of date webpages were removed and new ones have been added. If there are additional ARISS websites I need to know about, please let me know. Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed time. All dates and times listed follow International Standard ISO 8061 date and time format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS The complete schedule page has been updated as of 2013-05-30 00:30 UTC. (***) Here you will find a listing of all scheduled school contacts, and questions, other ISS related websites, IRLP and Echolink websites, and instructions for any contact that may be streamed live. http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.rtf Total number of ARISS ISS to earth school events is 821. Each school counts as 1 event. Total number of ARISS ISS to earth school contacts is 804. Each contact may have multiple schools sharing the same time slot. Total number of ARISS supported terrestrial contacts is 44. A complete year by year breakdown of the contacts may be found in the file. http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.rtf Please feel free to contact me if more detailed statistics are needed. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++ US Hams, don’t forget that there is a new process for US school proposals. For US schools to have an ARISS contact, they must fill out a proposal, submit it to NASA, and see if they are approved or not. Once a school is approved and put on the list, an ARISS mentor will be assigned to assist the school. NASA will have two open windows a year for schools to submit a proposal. The window for contacts during the second half of 2012 has already closed. Look for the window for first half 2013 contacts later this year. You must go through NASA to get the proposal material. Contact Teaching From Space, a NASA Education office, at JSC-TFS-ARISS(a)mail.nasa.gov or by calling them at (281) 244-2320. The following US states and entities have never had an ARISS contact: Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, and the Virgin Islands. ++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ IN LIGHT OF SOME COMMENTS THAT HAVE APPEARED RECENTLY ON THE VARIOUS BULLETIN BOARDS; THE COMMENTS BELOW STILL HOLD TRUE: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++ QSL information may be found at: http://www.arrl.org/ARISS/arissfaq.html http://www.rac.ca/ariss/oindex.htm#QSL's ISS callsigns: DPØISS, NA1SS, OR4ISS, RSØISS **************************************************************************** ** The successful school list has been updated as of 2013-05-22 19:00 UTC. http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/Successful_ARISS_schools.rtf Frequency chart for packet, voice, and crossband repeater modes showing Doppler correction as of 2005-07-29 04:00 UTC http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/ISS_frequencies_and_Doppler_correction .rtf Listing of ARISS related magazine articles as of 2006-07-10 03:30 UTC. http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/ARISS_magazine_articles.rtf Check out the Zoho reports of the ARISS contacts ARISS School Contacts https://reports.zoho.com/ZDBDataSheetView.cc?DBID=412218000000020415 Successful ARISS contacts https://reports.zoho.com/ZDBDataSheetView.cc?OBJID=412218000000023448 Additional Zoho links may be found at http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/arissnews.rtf **************************************************************************** There have been rumors in the past indicating that the ISS was having direct contacts on the 40 meter band.

Upcoming ARISS contact with Anacapa School, Santa Barbara, CA
by n4csitwo＠bellsouth.net 20 May '13

20 May '13

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Anacapa School, Santa Barbara, CA on 22 May. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 17:43 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between NA1SS and N6KTH. The contact should be audible over portions of the west coast of the U.S. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English. Anacapa School is an independent, co-educational, college preparatory day school for junior high and high school students. This year we have a total of 65 students in grades 7-12. Through academic and experiential learning, we encourage students to integrate critical thinking, creativity, integrity, and compassion in order to develop the potential of each individual in our diverse community. The Anacapa Near Space Exploration Club - KK6BBL was founded in 2010 by Anacapa students. The first team designed and built Anacapa Amateur High-Altitude Balloon 1 (AAHAB-1), which launched on May 22, 2011, returning stunning still images from an altitude of 91,122 feet over the California Central Coast. In 2012, a second team consisting of new and returning crew members built off of the success with a second near space probe, AAHAB-2. Team AAHAB-2 set even more ambitious goals including a live Amateur Television video downlink, high-definition recording, radiation sensors and live APRS telemetry. On May 5, 2012, AAHAB-2 returned to Earth after a project record-breaking flight peaking at more than 111,814 feet above the surface! This year a new group of students are busy preparing for the ARISS contact, developing new designs and earning their Amateur Radio licenses. Following the success of the two balloon probes and our acceptance into the ARISS / TFS program last summer, we decided to make space exploration the focus of our annual Synthesis Unit for the 2012-2013 school year. This means that all of the students at Anacapa have spent many hours over the past few months taking an in-depth look at the space program's past, present and future by doing independent research and hearing from expert speakers like NASA Astronaut Rick Linnehan who visited us in January. Students are presently in the process of finalizing the Synthesis product which is a report of their findings. We have invited a couple of other areas schools to join us on the day of the contact so they might share this "million dollar moment," but due to the uncertainty of the schedule we do not have final confirmation on those schools yet. Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows: 1. What are some of your favorite research projects on the ISS? 2. What happens to all of your wastewater and trash on the ISS? 3. Are there ever any culture clashes or misunderstandings between the international crew members? 4. What do you miss most from Earth? 5. If you could change something about the design or layout of the ISS what would it be? 6. Does weightlessness affect your dreams? If so, how? 7. Do you keep a journal while you are in space? If so, does it help you in some way? 8. Do you get to talk to your families frequently? 9. As a kid, did you always want to be an astronaut when you grew up or were you planning to have a different career? 10. I imagine it takes quite a bit of work to be chosen to be an astronaut. Why do you think you were chosen for this mission? 11. What do you do in your free time? 12. How long did it take you to prepare to go into space? 13. Now that you have been in space, is there anywhere on Earth that you would like to visit in particular? 14. How do you deal with illness of a crew member? 15. How do you cope with the small living quarters? 16. How long did it take to fly to the International Space Station? 17. Did you have any feelings of doubt after leaving Earth and entering into such a vast, unknown place? 18. What happens to smells in space? 19. How do you go to the bathroom? 20. If you could decide how long you could stay aboard the ISS, how long would you live there? 21. How are your duties aboard the station different from those of other crew members from other nations? 22. What do you eat on the ISS and how does it compare to what you are used to? 23. What do you do to take care of your body and stay in shape while in zero gravity? 24. Were you ever afraid to go to space?
