Upcoming ARISS Contact Schedule as of 2002-09-5 05:00 UTC<br /><br />The ARISS (a joint effort of AMSAT, the ARRL, NASA, the ARISS international <br />partners including Canada, Russia, the European Partners, and Japan) <br />operations team wishes to announce the following very tentative schedule for <br />ARISS school contacts. This schedule is very fluid and may change at the <br />last minute. Remember that amateur radio use on the ISS is considered <br />secondary. Please check the various AMSAT and ARISS webpages for the latest <br />announcements. Changes from the last announcement are noted with (***). <br />Also, please check MSNBC.com for possible live retransmissions <br />(
http://www.msnbc.com/m/lv/default.asp). Listen for the ISS on the downlink <br />of 145.80 MHz.<br /><br />For information about educational materials available from ISS partner space <br />Agencies, please refer to links on the ARISS Frequently Asked Questions page.<br /><br />If you are interested in supporting an ARISS contact, then you must fill<br />in an application. The ARISS operations mentor team will not accept a<br />direct request to support an ARISS contact.<br /><br />You should also note that many schools think that they can request a<br />specific date and time. It does not work that way. Once an application<br />has been accepted, the ARISS mentors will work with the school to<br />determine a mutually agreeable date.<br /><br />Websites that may be of interest include:<br /><br />
