ARISS Contact Applications (United States)

For many years I have on purpose not given the actual hyperlinks; I assume the user would do a copy/paste into their favorite browser.  I am now thinking that the browsers have all grown up and most should be able to handle the link.  Please let me know you experience any issues.  So now you should be able to directly click on the link.  (***)

Note, all times are approximate.  It is recommended that you do your own 

orbital prediction or start listening about 10 minutes before the listed 

time. 

All dates and times listed follow International Standard ISO 8601 date and 

time format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS

The complete schedule page has been updated as of 2019-08-21 22:00 UTC.  (***)
