Starting 2014-03-11 due to the Koichi's increased work load, ARISS has had
to move 3 schools back to our long term waiting list. We hope to get to
them in the fall of 2014. There are also several other schools that are on
the list for possible postponement to the fall. From 2014-05-12 to
2014-06-15, ARISS will be going into a period of no contacts as there will be no
hams onboard.

I have to apologize for the late postings of the upcoming Russian contacts
and lack of updates to the previously posted. Often times I receive
updates just hours ahead of the scheduled time and many times after the fact.
Also I tend to get the information untranslated, so please excuse the rough
translations.
****************************************************************************
ARISS is requesting listener reports for the above contacts. Due to
issues with the Kenwood radio that are not fully understood at present, the
Ericsson radio is going to be used for these contacts. ARISS thanks everyone
in advance for their assistance. Feel free to send your reports to
aj9n at amsat.org or aj9n at aol.com.

US Hams, don’t forget that there is a new process for US school proposals.
For US schools to have an ARISS contact, they must fill out a proposal,
submit it to NASA, and see if they are approved or not. Once a school is
approved and put on the list, an ARISS mentor will be assigned to assist the
school.
NASA will have two open windows a year for schools to submit a proposal.
The window for contacts during the second half of 2014 has already closed.
Look for the window for first half 2015 contacts later this year. You
must go through NASA to get the proposal material. Contact Teaching From
Space, a NASA Education office, at JSC-TFS-ARISS at mail.nasa.gov or by calling
them at (281) 244-2320.
The following US states and entities have never had an ARISS contact:
Arkansas, Delaware, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West
Virginia, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, and the
Virgin Islands.
