[sarex] ARISS Contacts Wednesday

[John Spasojevich]

We have TWO contacts on Wednesday.

Please join us in listening to the ISS contact with participants at the:

*Delaware Township School, Sergeantsville, NJ, USA*  on Wednesday, February
19. Acquisition of signal (AOS) is anticipated at 15:04 UTC (9:04AM CST)

The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and VK4KHZ in Queensland,
Australia. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.

The second contact will be with participants at:

*Marymount University (Fort Belvoir Elem.), Arlington, VA, USA *

Acquisition of Signal is anticipated at 19:02 UTC (1:02PM CST)

The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and K6DUE in Greenbelt,
Maryland, USA.

Audio from this contact will be fed into the:

EchoLink *AMSAT* (101377)

IRLP Node 9010 Discovery Reflector

Streaming Audio at: https://sites.google.com/site/arissaudio/

Audio on Echolink & web stream is generally transmitted around 20 minutes
prior to the contact taking place so that you can hear some of the
preparation that occurs. IRLP will begin just prior to the ground station
call to the ISS.

Please note that on Echolink there are automatic breaks of 1.5 seconds in
the audio transmission. These occur every 2.5 minutes during the event.
Breaks on IRLP are manual and occur approximately after every third
question.

** Contact times are approximate. If the ISS executes a reboost or other
manoeuvre, the AOS (Acquisition Of Signal) time may alter by a few minutes
