Amateur Radio to the International Space Station

ARISS Press Release

The UAH ARISS team has been accepted to participate in the ARISS program, hosted by NASA Johnson Space Center. This opportunity allows our university students to share experience with amateur radio to middle schoolers in the area. To round off the work, we establish a direct radio connection with the International Space Station and talk directly with astronauts.

UAH Space Hardware Club will be having 120 students from around the region join UAH students to uplink and talk with the astronauts living aboard the ISS. This will utilize the hardware the club used to satellite operations. This calendar event will be kept up to date, as well as http://space.uah.edu/ariss.

Event: Uplink is scheduled 21 Mar 2013 10:47:42.325CDT to 10:58:25.858CDT.
The event was successful. More info to come.

Facility: Space Communications Lab, Engineering Building, Room 273, UAH Campus
