Hello

Please join us in listening to the following ISS contacts:

KIPP: 3d Academy, Houston, Texas on Thursday 20th August at 18:16 UTC. This will be a telebridge and the Ground Station will be W6SRJ.

Girl & Boy Scouts of Maur: Pfadimuur, Forch, Switzerland on Saturday 22nd August at 08:20 UTC (EchoLink only).

Nova East Star Party, Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, Halifax, Canada on Saturday 22nd August at 12:54 UTC. This contact can also be watched live by streaming video at http://www.bellaliant.net/SpaceStation (Audio via EchoLink only).

Tenison Woods college, Mount Gambier, South Australia on Monday 24th August at 07:19 UTC. This will be a telebridge and the Ground Station will be K6DUE.

Volkssterrenwacht Urania, Hove, Antwerp, Belgium on Monday 24th August at EITHER 10:22 UTC if STS-128 launches, or 11:30 UTC if STS-128 postponed. Both options are via telebridge. The Ground Station will either be VK4KHZ or W6SRJ.

Audio from these contacts will be fed into the IRLP 'Discovery' Reflector (9010) and the EchoLink *AMSAT* (101377) and *JK1ZRW* (277208) servers. IRLP and Echolink audio is generally transmitted around 15 minutes prior to the contact taking place so that you can hear some of the preparation that occurs.

Please note that on Echolink there are automatic breaks of 1.5 seconds in the audio transmission. These occur every 2.5 minutes during the event.

For your information, when any ARISS event is supported through the IRLP "Discovery" Reflector 9010, audio is also automatically streamed to the Internet.

It is then available via the 'Discovery' Reflector's companion web site www.discoveryreflector.ca . Once on its main page, select "Audio Library" (left sidebar). The prompt to join the audio stream is posted at the top of this page. You can access the URL directly at www.discoveryreflector.ca:8000/listen.pls

The audio on the Internet is typically delayed by about two minutes.

73,

Graham
