4. ARISS Team Plans for Engineering Checkout Passes
The ARISS team has been planning two engineering checkout passes which need
to be run prior to the use of the Phase 2 Kenwood radio system during school
contacts. The plan is to run two tests. One test will be run during a pass
over Russia, using Sergej Samburov's radio station, R3K. The other test will
be run during a pass over the U.S. in which three U.S. stations, W5RRR at
JSC, W5DID in Orlando, and NN1SS at GSFC, will be bridged together by phone,
and uplinks will be coordinated through the phone bridge. These tests are
tentatively scheduled to take place in February.
