>> 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

>> 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
