> About ARISS:
>
> Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a  
> cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the  
> space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS).  
> In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite  
> Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the  
> Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) and  National  
> Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).  The primary goal of  
> ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering,  
> and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via  
> amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in  
> classrooms or informal education venues.  With the help of  
> experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with  
> large audiences in a variety of public forums.  Before and during  
> these radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities  
> learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio.  For more
>   information, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
