Amateurs and others around the world may listen in on contacts between
amateurs operating in schools and allowing students to interact with
astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station. The
downlink frequency on which to listen is 145.800 MHz worldwide.
*FAILED*
Royal Moroccan Air Academy, Marrakech, Morocco, direct via CN8ERA
The ISS callsign was scheduled to be OR4ISSThe scheduled crewmember was
Sunita Williams, KD5PLB
The ARISS mentor is IN3GHZ
Contact was not successful for: Fri 2025-02-21 11:12:20 UTC 72 degrees
maximum elevation
ARISS is working to determine what exactly happened.
*UPCOMING*
No additional contacts are scheduled in the immediate future.
The crossband repeater continues to be active (145.990 MHz up {PL 67} &
437.800 MHz down). If any crewmember is so inclined, all they have to do is
pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on the crossband
repeater. So give a listen, you just never know.
The packet system is also active (145.825 MHz up & down).
As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios
are turned off as part of the safety protocol.
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.
