1. Tulsa Contact Postponed, Radios Cycled off For EVA
The scheduling of the second EVA attempt to repair the CMG conflicted with
the ARISS contact with Tulsa Air and Space Museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which
was slated for Friday, July 2, 2004. The Tulsa contact will be rescheduled
at a future time. ARISS radio systems were cycled off on June 29 in
preparation for the EVA, and were turned on again July 1. ARRL covered the
event in the web story,
"Repair Spacewalk Trumps ARISS School Group QSO." See:
http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2004/07/01/3/?nc=1
2. Space Camp Turkey Contact Successful
Space Camp Turkey, located in Izmir, Turkey, is holding a Partner School
Project Week from July 4-10, 2004. The purpose of this week is to promote
friendship and cooperation, through space education activities, among the
students who come from several different countries including Turkey, Greece,
Israel, and the U.S. One hundred thirty students, ages 12-16, are attending
this week and several had the opportunity to talk to the ISS crew on Monday,
July 5 at 0825 UTC via the telebridge station WH6PN. Mike Fincke, KE5AIT,
answered 15 questions put to him by the campers. A recording of the contact
can be found at
http://www.ariss-eu.org/Izmir_05JUL2004.mp3
3. Upcoming School Contact
Meizen High School in Kurume-City, Fukuoka, Japan, has been scheduled for an
ARISS contact on Tuesday, July 13, at 1031 UTC. Mike Fincke, KE5AIT, who is
fluent in Japanese, may delight the students by answering their questions in
Japanese.
4. Engineering Tests
Engineering tests are being scheduled for the Kenwood D700. Kenneth Ransom
has submitted procedures for the repeater check out, and has also submitted
pass time options for the voice tests.
5. Girl Scout Ham to Introduce Amateur Radio and ARISS to Other Scouts
ARRL's Rosalie White provided lithographs and information to be used at a
multi-state Girl Scout camporee in rural Minnesota. A high school Girl
Scout, who is also an Amateur Radio operator, is setting up several ham
radio stations there with the support of local female ham radio operators.
She plans to introduce 2,000 Girl Scouts to Amateur Radio and to tell
interested viewers about ARISS.
