The ARISS (a joint effort of AMSAT, the ARRL, NASA, the ARISS
international
partners including Canada, Russia, the European Partners, and Japan)
operations
team wishes to announce the following very tentative schedule for ARISS
school
contacts. This schedule is very fluid and may change at the last minute.
Remember that amateur radio use on the ISS is considered secondary.
Please
check the various AMSAT and ARISS webpages for the latest announcements.
Changes from the last announcement are noted with (***). Also, please
check
MSNBC.com for possible live retransmissions
(http://www.msnbc.com/m/lv/default.asp). Listen for the ISS on the
downlink of
145.8Ø MHz.
The crossband repeater has been active at times.
The frequencies are uplink of 437.8Ø MHz and downlink of 145.8Ø MHz.
For information about educational materials available from ISS partner
space
Agencies, please refer to links on the ARISS Frequently Asked Questions
page.
If you are interested in supporting an ARISS contact, then you must fill
in an application. The ARISS operations mentor team will not accept a
direct request to support an ARISS contact; the application must first be
sent
to the ARISS region coordinator.
You should also note that many schools think that they can request a
specific date and time. Once an application has been accepted the ARISS
mentors will work with the school to determine a mutually agreeable date.
There are several ARISS web sites:
English: http://www.ariss.org/ Note this is the new site location.
This site also has links to many other ARISS sites:
http://www.ariss.org/other-ariss-websites.html
ARISS France: http://ariss.fr.free.fr/
ARISS Europe: http://www.ariss-eu.org/
ARISS Japan: http://www.jarl.or.jp/ariss/
Your completely filled out application should be returned to the
nearest coordinating ARISS region if your specific region is not
listed. E-mail is the preferred method of submitting an application.
Here are the email addresses:

To let you in on how tough it is to schedule contacts, here are some of
the constraints the ARISS mentors must work under:
Each Increment is 26 weeks in length.
For any given expedition, we typically may not schedule:
1. Anything the first 3 weeks.
2. During EVA weeks
3. At least 2 weeks prior to the Increment change.
4. No contacts during meal and exercise periods.
5. No contacts during post-sleep and pre sleep (before Ø8:ØØ UTC and after
19:3Ø UTC)
6. Contacts on the day of Progress docking or undocking are circumspect.
Mike Fincke KE5AIT and Gennady Padalka RN3DT produced a video during their
stay on Expedition 9. You can get the QuickTime version (209MB) or the
Windows Media version (152MB). These files are huge, so only a broadband
connection is recommended. Thanks Mike and Gennady!

Currently the ARISS operations team has a list of 60 schools that we
hope will be able to have a contact during 2016. As the schedule becomes
more solidified, we will be letting everyone know. Current plans call for
an average of one scheduled school contact per week.
