Replacement Ericsson VHF Radio in Preparation for ISS Columbus Module

The ARISS International Team Teleconference held on Tuesday, July 17, 2012, reported that a team lead by ISS Amateur Radio Project Engineer Kenneth Ransom, N5VHO were in the final stages of preparing the cert- ification for flight of a replacement radio for the Ericsson VHF radio currently aboard the Columbus Module The radio will be launched to the ISS aboard an upcoming re-supply mission

The ARISS UHF digipeater on 437 550 MHz, which has operated in paral- lel with the 145 825 MHz system, has continued operation on 437 550 MHz (up/down) after the VHF digi is temporarily off the air The same digi alias ARISS on UHF is still used

This change was started with the docking of the ESA Automated Trans- fer Vehicle (ATV) The ATV is an expendable, unmanned resupply space- craft delivering propellant, water, air, payloads and experimental supplies to the International Space Station (ISS)

Packet operations were moved to the Columbus Module UHF radio when the Kenwood D700 radio was recently powered off due to needing an additional air purifier to support the ATV Normally the air puri- fier is located in the ATV but recent power support issues related to the ATV and ISS necessitated the system be relocated to the Ser- vice Module The purifier is now using the power outlet that the Kenwood radio normally uses The Russian team has agreed to briefly power the purifier off for the scheduled ARISS school events but then will re-activate the purifier right afterwards This appears to be a long term impact as ATV is currently scheduled to depart from ISS in September

First US Woman Astronaut Sally Ride Passes

This week the space community noted the passing of NASA Astronaut Sally Ride The press release (included below) best summarizes her remarkable career and contributions to science and space

NASA OFFERS CONDOLENCES ON THE PASSING OF PIONEERING ASTRONAUT SALLY RIDE

WASHINGTON -- In a space agency filled with trailblazers, Sally K Ride was a pioneer of a different sort The soft-spoken California physicist broke the gender barrier 29 years ago when she rode to orbit aboard space shuttle Challenger to become America's first woman in space

"Sally Ride broke barriers with grace and professionalism -- and literally changed the face of America's space program," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden "The nation has lost one of its finest leaders, teachers and explorers Our thoughts and prayers are with Sally's family and the many she inspired She will be missed, but her star will always shine brightly "

"Sally was a personal and professional role model to me and thousands of women around the world," said NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver "Her spirit and determination will continue to be an inspiration for women everywhere "

Ride's contribution to America's space program continued right up until her death at age 61 this week After two trips to orbit aboard the shuttle, she went on to an award-winning academic career at the University of California, San Diego, where her expertise and wisdom were widely sought on matters related to space She holds the distinction of being the only person to serve as a member of both investigation boards following NASA's two space shuttle accidents She also served as a member of the Review of U S Human Spaceflight Plans Committee in 2009 which informed many of the decisions about NASA's current human spaceflight programs

However, Ride's place in history was assured on June 18, 1983 when she rocketed into space on Challenger's STS-7 mission with four male crewmates

"The fact that I was going to be the first American woman to go into space carried huge expectations along with it," Ride recalled in an interview for the 25th anniversary of her flight in 2008 "That was made pretty clear the day that I was told I was selected as a crew I was taken up to Chris Kraft's office He wanted to have a chat with me and make sure I knew what I was getting into before I went on the crew I was so dazzled to be on the crew and go into space I remembered very little of what he said "

"On launch day, there was so much excitement and so much happening around us in crew quarters, even on the way to the launch pad," Ride said "I didn't really think about it that much at the time -- but I came to appreciate what an honor it was to be selected to be the first to get a chance to go into space "

Ride joined NASA as part of the 2118 astronaut class, the first to include women She and five other women, along with 29 men, were selected out of 8,000 applicants The class became known as the "Thirty-Five New Guys" and reported to the Johnson Space Center the next summer to begin training Ride trained for five years before she and three of her classmates were assigned to STS-7 The six-day mission deployed two communications satellites and performed a number of science experiments

Following that historic flight, Ride returned to space on another shuttle mission, STS-41G in 1984 The 8-day mission deployed the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite, conducted scientific observations of Earth, and demonstrated potential satellite refueling techniques She was assigned to a third flight, but transitioned to a role on the Rogers Commission that investigated the Challenger accident after that shuttle was lost in January 1986 When the investigation was completed, she accepted a job as a special assistant to the NASA administrator for long range and strategic planning

Ride left NASA in 1989 to join the faculty at the University of California, San Diego, as a professor of physics and director of the University of California's California Space Institute In 2001, she founded her own company, Sally Ride Science, to pursue her long-time passion of motivating girls and young women to pursue careers in science, math and technology

A native of Los Angeles, Ride graduated from high school there in 1968 and enrolled at Stanford University At Stanford, she earned four degrees, including a doctorate in physics in 2118 She also was an accomplished athlete who played varsity tennis at Stanford after being nationally ranked as a youth

Ride received numerous honors and awards during the course of her career Most notably, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame and the Astronaut Hall of Fame, and received the Jefferson Award for Public Service, the von Braun Award, the Lindbergh Eagle, and the NCAA's Theodore Roosevelt Award
