To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-242.02
The ARISS program is pleased to announce that the amateur radio
equipment aboard the International Space Station is now operating in
cross-band repeat mode. We realize that many of you will miss the
packet-operating mode. However, cross-band repeat allows further
experimentation of the ISS amateur radio system
The downlink for this operating mode remains the same, so listen for the
station on 145.80 MHz. The new uplink frequency is 437.80 MHz. All
frequencies are subject to Doppler shifting. For further information on
working satellites and adjusting for Doppler shift, please review Emily
Clark's (W0EEC) excellent presentation on AMSAT's website,
http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/information/faqs/Intro_sats.pdf
ARISS is an international educational outreach program with US
participation from NASA, AMSAT (The Amateur Satellite Radio Corp.), and
the American Radio Relay League. 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 experience, first hand, how Amateur
Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters' interest in
science, technology, and learning. Further information on the ARISS
programme is available on the
website http://www.rac.ca/ariss
