Call  for Proposals (***)
Proposal Window September 1 – November 1, 2016  

The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS)  Program is 
seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations,  
individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a crew  
member on board the ISS.  ARISS anticipates that the contact would be held  
between July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will 
 determine the exact contact dates. To maximize these radio contact  
opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers  of 
participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed education 
plan.  

The deadline to submit a proposal is November 1, 2016.   Proposal 
information and documents can be found at  www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact.
