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 145.8Ø MHz. The crossband repeater has been active at times. The frequencies are uplink of 437.8Ø MHz and downlink of 145.8Ø 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; the application must first be sent to the ARISS region coordinator. You should also note that many schools think that they can request a specific date and time. Once an application has been accepted the ARISS mentors will work with the school to determine a mutually agreeable date. There are several ARISS web sites: English: http://www.ariss.org/ Note this is the new site location. This site also has links to many other ARISS sites: http://www.ariss.org/other-ariss-websites.html ARISS France: http://ariss.fr.free.fr/ ARISS Europe: http://www.ariss-eu.org/ ARISS Japan: http://www.jarl.or.jp/ariss/ Your completely filled out application should be returned to the nearest coordinating ARISS region if your specific region is not listed. E-mail is the preferred method of submitting an application. Here are the email addresses: ARISS-Canada and all other countries not covered: [email protected] (Maurice-André Vigneault VA2MA/VE3VIG) ARISS-Europe: [email protected] (Francesco De Paolis, IK0WGF) ARISS-Japan and all Region 3 countries: [email protected] (Keigo Komuro JA1KAB) ARISS-Russia: [email protected] (Valerie Agabekov N2WW/UA6HZ) ARISS-USA: contact NASA at [email protected] ***************************************************************************** Other web sites that may be of interest include: ARRL related websites: http://www.arrl.org/amateur-radio-on-the-international-space-station http://www.arrl.org/ariss =============================================================================== AMSAT related websites: http://www.amsat.org Latest ARISS announcements and news http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/ariss/ Successful school list http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/news/Successful_ARISS_schools.rtf =============================================================================== NASA related websites: Main page: http://www.nasa.gov/ For Educators: http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/index.html For Students: http://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/index.html http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/teachingfromspace/students/ariss.html (instructions for US schools wanting to apply for a contact may be found here) For Media: http://www.nasa.gov/audience/formedia/index.html Teaching From Space (TIF): http://www.nasa.gov/audience/foreducators/teachingfromspace/contact_tfs/index.h tml =============================================================================== The ISS Fan Club website is: http://www.issfanclub.com =============================================================================== ON6SAT has a website at: http://on6sat.com/links/ =============================================================================== IRLP website at: http://www.discoveryreflector.ca This site will have the links for simulcast contacts that have IRLP and Echolink.

For any given expedition, we typically may not schedule: 1. Anything the first 3 weeks. 2. During EVA weeks 3. At least 2 weeks prior to the Increment change. 4. No contacts during meal and exercise periods. 5. No contacts during post-sleep and pre sleep (before Ø8:ØØ UTC and after 19:3Ø UTC) 6. Contacts on the day of Progress docking or undocking are circumspect. Mike Fincke KE5AIT and Gennady Padalka RN3DT produced a video during their stay on Expedition 9. You can get the QuickTime version (209MB) or the Windows Media version (152MB). These files are huge, so only a broadband connection is recommended. Thanks Mike and Gennady!
