1. Status of ARISS School Contacts
Due to the very demanding schedules of the crew onboard the ISS, no
ARISS contacts have been planned at this time. The ARISS team expects
contacts to resume once STS-122 launches this month.
2. ARRL Article on ARISS School Contact Status
The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) ran a Web story on the status
of ARISS school contacts. Seventy-four contacts were performed during
2007, reducing the backlog of schools waiting for a contact and making
this a good time to submit new applications. See:
http://www.arrl.org/news/stories/2007/11/29/100/?nc=1
3. ARISS School Application Updated
The ARISS team has been working on an updated school application package.
The new and updated forms have been submitted to the ARISS delegates for
their review and comments. The application is expected to be finalized by
the end of this month.
4. ARRL Story on ARISS Antennas
The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) posted an article about the ARISS
antennas on the Columbus Module which is expected to launch on Thursday,
December 6. The story, "ARISS Antennas Set to Launch on NASA Mission in
December," was posted in the ARRL Letter and on the ARRL Web site. To
view the ARRL Letter, see: http://www.arrl.org/arrlletter/07/1130/
