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.rac.ca/ariss (graciously hosted by the Radio Amateurs of Canada).
Thank you & 73, Kenneth - N5VHO
The ISS contact with the Flanders Science Festival has been cancelled due to the need to reschedule Progress 23 activities during this timeframe. Progress 23 docked to ISS yesterday (Oct 26) but was not able to complete the hatch opening preparation and initial unloading due to a delay in the complete docking activities associated with the retraction of one of the Progress antennas.
