ISS Amateur Radio Status: April 12, 2008
By Miles Mann WF1F,
MAREX-MG News www.marexmg.org
Manned Amateur Radio Experiment
International Space Station, Voice link, April 14, 2008, 17:03 UTC
Monday
Starting at: 17:03 UTC (1:03 PM Boston time)
Ending at: 17:13 UTC
Central Middle School West Parsippany, New Jersey USA,
For the next few weeks the crew of the International Space Station
will be treating Short-Wave-Listeners and Amateur radio operators to
live down links from ISS via the Amateur Radio station on ISS. The
crew will be conducting Weekly radio links to schools in North
America. Everyone is invited to listen to the downlinks.
On Monday April 14, ISS will pass over the eastern USA and will be
actively talking to students.
The path of the International Space station will be entering the USA
from the Gulf of Mexico near Mississippi and heading north east along
the Atlantic coast. ISS will pass over several states including MS,
AL, GA, SC, NC, VA, MD, NJ, CT and MA. ISS will then pass over Boston
Mass and head out to sea.
The Best listening will be 500 miles on either side of a line from
Biloxi Mississippi to Boston Massachusetts.
Most people all along that line will be able to hear the Space
Station with a modest outside antenna and a good Scanner / Receiver.
This week Short-wave-Listeners and amateur radio operators will be
able to listen to the ISS via amateur radio directly. Listeners
living within 500+ miles of one of the cities below should be able to
hear the signals directly with a simple scanner or other VHF receiver
(an outside antenna is recommended 0 dBd gain or better). ISS will
be transmitting on 145.800 FM (5 kHz deviation). You will only be
able to here one side of the conversation, since the school will be
transmitting on an undisclosed uplink frequency (VHF or UHF).
If you do not have a tracking program, here is a live link to NASA
that will show you where ISS is located.

recorded directly off the air via a public Amateur Radio down link
frequency.

Copy of memo from ARISS and SAREX
Subject: ARISS event - Central Middle School West Parsippany, New
Jersey USA, Monday (April 14) at 17:03 UTC
From: "Ransom, Kenneth G. (JSC-OC)[BAR]"
An International Space Station Expedition 16 ARISS school contact has
been planned with participants at the Central Middle School West
Parsippany, New Jersey USA on 14 April. The event is scheduled to
begin at approximately 17:03 UTC.
The contact will be a direct between stations NA1SS and N2XJ. The
contact should be audible over most of the Eastern USA. Interested
parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink.
The participants are expected to conduct the conversation in English.
The Parsippany Troy-Hills Township School District is the largest
school district in Morris County, New Jersey totaling over 7000
students.
The district encompasses ten elementary schools, two middle schools
and two high schools. It is a suburban residential community
covering 23.89 square miles centrally located in Morris
County.
Central Middle School is the oldest school in Parsippany, with the
original structure dating back to 1928. Central presently has a
student population of 800 students which include families who
speak Spanish, Mandarin, Gujarati, Farsi, Russian and others.
Garrett Reisman attended Central Middle School from 1981 to 1982.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time
allows:
1. Do you wear a space suit during liftoff, and if so - why?
2. If you could bring anything from space back to earth, what would
it be and why?
3. How would you evacuate the space station if there was a problem?
4. What kind of research is being performed during your assignment?
5. Who or what inspired you to become an astronaut?
6. Is the ISS stationary or does it revolve around the earth?
7. Does a regular watch tell the same time in space as it would on
earth?
8. Does working in low gravity bring fatigue faster or slower than it
would on earth?
9. Is it difficult sleeping with zero gravity?
10. What is your main job as an astronaut?
11. What do you most enjoy doing while you are on the ISS?
12. What foods do you like most while you are aboard the ISS?
13. What does Earth look like from space? Can you see cities and
rivers?
14. What would you do if someone got sick on the mission?
15. How do you brush your teeth and take a bath on the ISS?
16. What special fitness training is necessary when preparing for a
mission?
17. Does working in low gravity bring fatigue faster or slower than
it would on earth?
18. Since there is no weight in space, is there friction?
Information about the upcoming ARISS contacts can be found at
http://www.rac.ca/ariss/upcoming.htm#NextContact . Packet is
transmitted on 145.825 simplex.
Next planned event(s):
National Science Museum of Korea, Daejon, Republic of Korea,2008-04-
18 01:35 UTC
ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the
participating space agencies, NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES,
JAXA, and CSA, with the AMSAT and IARU
organizations from participating countries.
ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement
of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board the
International Space Station. Teachers, parents and
communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS
can energize youngsters' interest in science, technology, and
learning. Further information on the ARISS program is
available on the website http://www.rac.ca/ariss (graciously hosted
by the Radio Amateurs of Canada).
Thank you & 73,
Kenneth - N5VHO
