Upcoming ARISS Contact Schedule as of 2013-10-24 05:00 UTC Quick list of scheduled contacts and events: IPSSEOA, Castellana Grotte and Liceo Classico e Linguistico C. Sylos, Bitonto, Italy, direct via IZ7RTN Contact was successful: Wed 2013-10-23 12:43:08 UTC 58 deg (***) **************************************************************************** For all of you Ice Pilots TV show fans, the first episode of season 5 is scheduled to have some of an ARISS contact that occurred a few months back. Depending on where you are located, the times and cable TV providers may change. History Channel is airing the show for the first time Wednesday October 23 at 22:00 EDT or Thursday October 24 at 02:00 UTC. Below are several on-line links to where you can watch it: http://www.icepilots.com/episodes.php http://www.icepilots.com/episode5_1.php If you are in Australia, apparently the History Channel is available via Pay-TV. Below is word from Canadian ARISS mentor Steve McFarlane VE3TBD about this: Wednesday Oct 23, 2013 – Season Premiere of Reality TV Show Ice Pilots will feature the ARISS program – Amateur Radio on The International Space Station. I/we do not know the full details of what will be included in this episode but we understand a Radio contact with Chris Hadfield will be shown that involves the Canadian mentors that undertake and support these events all across Canada. This team, are made up of Teacher Lori McFarlane, technical coordination Claude Lacasse and program mentor Steve McFarlane VE3TBD all located in Ottawa but were on site during this contact from Hay river. Remotely located but very much a part of this event include Teacher Mentor Brian Jackson VE6JBJ in Calgary and fellow Canadian mentor Wayne Harasimovitch VE1WPH located in Halifax. As mentioned, exact content of the show is not known but we do know a production team from Omni productions recorded the entire presentation and event at the Hay River Public School near Yellowknife. As well, Omni productions did receive the entire video from the ISS showing Chris Hadfield answering questions during the same event. Other video including setup, meeting the show “stars” etc., was recorded but again, we are not certain of the inclusions on the show. All audio during the event was made available and Omni productions have a copy of that – this includes the Telebridge track. All we can hope is that ARISS is well represented and the program receives some well-deserved recognition. I was alerted that this is a reality TV show and almost anything can be broadcast. We are at the mercy of the producers and editors of the show – as they indicated to us – this is about Buffalo Airlines. My final comment to the producer, this show and the space program are linked in ways that are sometimes difficult to understand but it is clear that early aviation pioneers from all over the world, which Buffalo epitomizes, led to what we know today as the Space Program – ARISS is about making our youth believe anything is possible so when they say this is about Buffalo Airlines what they are really saying, this is about how we started our journey to the stars. History Channel is showing for the first time Wednesday October 23 at 22:00hrs. This is the 5th season of ice pilots and I understand some of you may only be on season 4 at this point. Within a few days, it might be available elsewhere.

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.
