You might be thinking of the Thursday school contact which is at a similar
time:
Kopernik Observatory & Science Center, Vestal NY, direct via K2ZRO
The ISS callsign is presently scheduled to be NA1SS
The scheduled astronaut is Jeff Williams KD5TVQ
Contact is a go for: Thu 2016-08-18 16:24:42 UTC 29 deg
