AMSAT News Service Bulletin 082.09 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. March 23, 2003
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-082.09
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 adirect
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.
