AMSAT News Service Bulletin 053.03 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. February 22, 2004
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-053.03
The ARISS Team would like to congratulate astronaut Lt. Col. Mike Fincke on earning his Technician license, KE5AIT. Once he was
selected to replace William McArthur Jr, KC5ACR, on the International Space Station's Expedition 9, Fincke recognized the need for
an American ham to continue ARISS contacts with schools. In addition to his many pre-flight preparations and activities, he also
devoted as much time as possible to studying for his ham license. Within 10 days he studied for and passed the Technician exam. He
obtained callsign KE5AIT on
February 18.
The ARISS Team would like to express their gratitude to Lt. Col. Fincke for his hard work during these hectic pre-flight days. We'd
like to thank him for his commitment to and belief in the ARISS Programme.
[ANS thanks Scott, N3ASA, for the above information.]
