AMSAT News Service Bulletin 061.09 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. March 2, 2003
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-061.09
[Editors Note... Due to the length of this weeks ANS bulletin, the
provisional questions from the educational institutions have been moved to a
seperate document, which will be posted with this bulletin. This has been
done to help those who read the main body of the news over the air.]
The ARISS (a joint effort of AMSAT, the ARRL, NASA, the ARISS international
partners including Canada, Russia, the European Partners, and Japan)
operations
team wishes to announce the following very tentative schedule for ARISS
school
contacts. This schedule is very fluid and may change at the last minute.
Remember that amateur radio use on the ISS is considered secondary. Please
check the various AMSAT and ARISS webpages for the latest announcements.
Changes from the last announcement are noted with (***). Also, please
check MSNBC.com for possible live retransmissions
(http://www.msnbc.com/m/lv/default.asp). Listen for the ISS on the
downlink of 145.80 MHz.
For information about educational materials available from ISS partner
space Agencies, please refer to links on the ARISS Frequently Asked
Questions page.
If you are interested in supporting an ARISS contact, then you must fill
in an application. The ARISS operations mentor team will not accept a
direct request to support an ARISS contact.
You should also note that many schools think that they can request a
specific date and time. It does not work that way. Once an application
has been accepted, the ARISS mentors will work with the school to
determine a mutually agreeable date.

Currently the ARISS operations team has a list of over 60
schools that we hope will be able to have a contact during 2003.
As the schedule becomes more solidified, we will be letting
everyone know. Current plans call for an average of one scheduled
School contact per week.
[ANS thanks Charlie, AJ9N, for the above information.]
