I have to apologize for the late postings of the upcoming Russian contacts and lack of updates to the previously posted. Often times I receive updates just hours ahead of the scheduled time and many times after the fact. Also I tend to get the information untranslated, so please excuse the rough translations.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++ 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 2014 has already closed. Look for the window for first half 2015 contacts later this year. You must go through NASA to get the proposal material. Contact Teaching From Space, a NASA Education office, at [email protected] or by calling them at (281) 244-2320.
The following US states and entities have never had an ARISS contact: Arkansas, Delaware, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, and the Virgin Islands.
