What do you need? Classroom lessons abound for all aspects of amateur radio
as it applies to the satellites - from elementary school to college
classrooms.
Each ARISS contact has a lot of work "behind the scenes" at the campuses.
There are phenomenal teachers and school administrations who really get
behinds their ARISS projects.
Be a little more specific with what you need - and I can either assist you,
or point you towards excellent resources.

Hi Gould / Clint
I think the problem may be that instead of an approach where an amateur
satellite promotes amateur radio via the science of satellites, most
educators really need an amateur radio satellite to be a resource which can
be used to teach the usual syllabus but in a more interesting way that
captures the imagination of the students. So, think lesson plans, power
points, theory, Java animation, video etc. All in manageable durations,
perhaps at a few different levels. And....make it useful for the 95% of
time when ARISsat (etc) is not overhead when the lesson is happening.
We can't get AMSAT volunteers involved in anything more than a fraction of
1% of lessons, so perhaps AMSAT as product placement in lesson resources is
a good second choice.
Good luck
David G0MRF

By the way, once I got MMSTV loaded I decided to just park it on 14.230 MHz
all day long and watch the SSTV images come rolling in. I have been
watching them in my office (when I walk by that PC) and although hear SSTV
all day long, and some signals very strong..... I must admit, only ONE in 2
weeks has been discernable as to what the picture actually is..
ALl the rest you can tell MAYBE that it is some kind of picutre with maybe
some text at the top and the bottom, but NONE of them have been readable.
Yet, the signals sound like they would make a Q5 599 SSB signal. Is it just
me, or does HF multipath slur the imgaes beyone all recognition.?

Of course we do.
The request is for using the ARISSat-1 satellite in classrooms not ARISS.

YES - But aren't lesson plans on these topics "transferable" to 'bout any
similar project?
-Becoming amateur radio-literate
-RDF, Doppler, line of sight projects
-Learning the geography of Earth via QSL cards
-How to talk between school campuses using ham radio
-Ham radio for teaching ESL - as we monitor stations from other countries
-Receiving and interpreting satellite telemetry
-Asking the local astronomy club to explain the fundamentals of radio
astronomy
-Building and soldering electronic kits
-Living radio history by building and using crystal radios
-Receiving and studying naturally generated radio signals
Sorry - I guess I just need a little more "focus" as to what the original
poster was trying to acquire/achieve. There is no need
for AMSAT to re-create lessons plans to teach students about amateur radio
satellite projects. It's been done in thousands of
classrooms already - that info is out there, so to speak.

Clint,
Thank you for your response. Let me clarify. At least for now, I am NOT
looking for information is ARISS contacts, but rather with how educators
have used ARISSat-1 in the classroom. That said I would be be glad to here
from or about teachers and principals who got behind the ARRISSat-1 project.
Specifically I would like to hear and see how schools may have listened to
the voice telemetry or captured the BPSK -1000 telemetry or or the CW
telemetry and how they may have fit a lesson around it. Also would be any
classes who may have even ventured to make a transponder contact.
I judge ARRISSat-1 and educational and OSCAR satellites could be better
utilized in the classroom, even if they are only beacon sats. ARRIS contacts
grab a lot of attention but with a couple hundred thousand schools in the
country, their odds of ever making an ARISS contact is very slim. Yet, there
are a lot of opportunities with the number of satellites that are active now
and will be in the future to use them as a means to motivate and interest
students in science, ham radio and AMSAT. I suggest that we as AMSAT should
be leaders in establishing curriculum plans that might include our hobby.
I am not alone here. Expect to hear more about this initiative in the coming
weeks. Expect to see the AMSAT-EDU bb-list become active soon, as well, to
become a forum for this discussion. So, Clint and all, point us toward those
phenomenal educators and administrators, share with us your experiences. We
don't need to recreate the wheel we just need to keep it rolling..

Hi Clint,
Didn't you know that members of the AMSAT board
meet weekly with the ARISS team?
Apparently even the ARISS team is unaware of all
of these ARISSat-1 lesson plans that you think
exist. Please provide a link as it will be most
appreciated.
Thanks!

I apologize to all for continuing this thread. Apparently, there is a desire
for "existing lesson plans for a satellite that will be gone soon," as
opposed to what I was thinking, "lesson plans applicable to just 'bout ANY
ham space project."

Bob,
It is just you. ;) Seriously, I do the same thing, and 3 out of 4 are good
pictures, perhaps 1 in 5 outstanding. I do use Ham Radio Deluxe, which has
a few nice tricks such as automatic slant correction. A suggestion is to
calibrate the sound card clock. Many are significantly off. Not certain
about MMSTV, but HRD has that built in. Also, check the audio level to make
certain it is correct.

Hi Bob,
I also have put MMSSTV on 14.230 and most
of the images look great with a handful
that are terrific. I am not using anything
fancy just a 15' whip and an FT-847.
Maybe the noise level is really high there?

Being an ARISS ops team member myself I think it's important to realize that
the AMSAT folks attend the ARISS-I meeting which is the international
telecon. The ARISS ops team meets weekly on Wednesday afternoon and we are
the group responsible for the hands on assistance of schools making ISS
contacts. The international team handles the big picture and in the years I
have been with the school side I have not heard any AMSAT board folks on the
ops telecon. AMSAT's educational direction seems to be more university
level while ARISS is geared more to grade and high school level.

I have copied and worked LOTS of SSTV stations on 20
meters. And some were not all that strong. There is a lot of QRM,
doubling, people talking on SSB, etc etc on 14.230.
We also did some SSTV on AO-51 a while back and I got some
good pictures there, too.
Here are a couple of 20M ones attached.
