US   Hams, did you miss the proposal window for October 17 to December 15,  
 
2014?

The next call for proposals to host an ARISS contact is  coming  up in 
February, 2015.


Call for Proposals
Proposal  Window  February  15 – April 15, 2015
The Amateur Radio on the  International  Space Station  (ARISS) Program is 
seeking formal  and informal education  institutions and  organizations,  
individually or working together, to  host an Amateur Radio   contact with 
a 
crew 
member on board the ISS.  ARISS anticipates  that the contact would be held 
between January 1, 2016 and  June 30,  2016. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits 
will 
determine the exact   contact dates. To maximize these radio contact 
opportunities, ARISS is   looking for organizations that will draw large 
numbers of participants  and  integrate the contact into a well-developed 
education plan.   
The  deadline to submit a proposal is April 15,  2015.


The  Opportunity
Crew members aboard the International  Space Station will  participate in 
scheduled Amateur Radio contacts.  These radio contacts are  approximately 
10 
minutes in length and  allow students and educators to  interact with the 
astronauts through a  question-and-answer session.  


An ARISS contact is a voice-only  communication opportunity via  Amateur 
Radio between astronauts and  cosmonauts aboard the space station and  
classrooms and communities.  ARISS contacts afford education audiences the  
opportunity to learn  firsthand from astronauts what it is like to live and 
 
work in space  and to learn about space research conducted on the ISS. 
Students  also  
will have an opportunity to learn about satellite communication,   wireless 
technology, and radio science. Because of the nature of human   spaceflight 
and 
the complexity of scheduling activities aboard the  ISS,  organizations 
must 
demonstrate flexibility to accommodate changes  in contact  dates and 
times. 
Amateur Radio organizations around the  world, NASA, and  space agencies in 
Russia, Canada, Japan and Europe  sponsor this educational  opportunity by 
providing the equipment and  operational support to enable  direct 
communication between crew on the  ISS and students around the world  via 
Amateur Radio. 


In  the US, the program is managed by AMSAT (Radio  Amateur Satellite  
Corporation) and ARRL (American Radio Relay League) in  partnership  with 
NASA. 
More Information
Interested parties can find more   information about the program at 
www.ariss.org and www.arrl.org/ARISS.  More  details on expectations, 
audience, 
proposal guidelines and  proposal form,  and dates and times of Information 
Sessions are  available at  www.arrl.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact. Please 
direct  
any questions to  ariss at arrl.org.    
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The   following US states and entities have never had an ARISS contact:  
Arkansas,  Delaware, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont,  
Wyoming,  American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, and the  Virgin  
 
Islands.
