ARISS NEWS
Amateurs and others around the world may listen in on contacts between
amateurs operating in schools and allowing students to interact with
astronauts and cosmonauts aboard the International Space Station. The
downlink frequency on which to listen is 145.800 MHz worldwide.
*Completed Contacts*
Girl Scout Troop 1089, Sacramento, CA, direct via N6NA.
The ISS callsign was NA1SS.
The crewmember was Loral Oâ€ÖHara, KI5TOM.
The ARISS mentor is AA4KN.
Contact was successful on Thursday February 22, 2024.
The crossband repeater continues to be active (145.990 MHz up {PL 67} &
437.800 MHz down). If any crewmember is so inclined, all they have to do is
pick up the microphone, raise the volume up, and talk on the crossband
repeater. So give a listen, you just never know.
The packet system is reported to be active on the ARISS status page
(145.825 MHz up & down) but the AMSAT satellite status page shows no recent
contacts as of the time of this writing.
As always, if there is an EVA, a docking, or an undocking; the ARISS radios
are turned off as part of the safety protocol.
Note, all times are approximate. It is recommended that you do your own
orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed
time.

[ANS thanks Charlie Sufana, AJ9N, one of the ARISS operation team mentors
for the above information.]
