ENTIRE STS-74 CREW ARE HAMS
Two more astronauts have earned Amateur Radio licenses. They are NASA
astronaut James Halsell, KC5RNI and Canadian Space Agency astronaut Chris
Hadfield, KC5RNJ. Both will participate in Shuttle Amateur Radio EXperiment
(SAREX) activities from aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis during the STS-74
mission. Launch is scheduled for November 11 at 1256 UTC. Halsell will serve
as the shuttle's Pilot, and Hadfield is a Mission Specialist.
The mission will be Commanded by Ken Cameron, KB5AWP, who previously used
ham radio from Atlantis during STS-37 in April 1991 and from the Shuttle
Discovery during STS-56 in April 1993. This will be the third mission Ken
has flown where the entire crew are licensed radio amateurs. The crew
includes Mission Specialist Jerry Ross, N5SCW, who was also member of STS-37
SAREX crew, and operated ham radio aboard the STS-55 Columbia mission in
April/May 1993; and Mission Specialist Bill McArthur, KC5ACR who used ham
radio aboard the Shuttle Columbia during STS-58 in October/November 1993.
