[sarex] [amsat-bb] ISS contact May 2nd

[AJ9N at aol.com]

Hi all,
 
I am the one who first posts all ARISS announcements to the SAREX BB  
(_sarex at amsat.org_ (mailto:sarex at amsat.org) ) concerning upcoming  scheduling, 
etc.  So you would need to be on the SAREX-BB mailing list to  get those 
regularly.
 
I do not normally post directly to the AMSAT-BB (_amsat-bb at amsat.org_ 
(mailto:amsat-bb at amsat.org) ).
 
Within a few days of the contact, Dave AA4KN will also post an announcement 
 to the SAREX BB that has more details concerning the upcoming school and  
questions to be asked.
 
The upcoming contact is scheduled to be a telebridge via IK1SLD in Italy  
and Samantha IZØUDF using IRØISS.  She will be talking to students  from Sol 
Plaatje Primary School, Mahikeng, South Africa, and  Scuola  Secondaria di I 
Grado, Caprino Bergamasco, Italy.  The contact time is  scheduled to be Sat 
2015-05-02 14:34:27 UTC at about 45 deg max elevation.   It is recommended 
that one start listening approximately 10 minute before the  announced time 
to make sure that there was no orbital change.  And make  sure you are using 
the very latest Keps set.
 
Often times we are able to simulcast the contact via the  IRLP and Echolink 
systems.  John AG9D usually will post an  announcement if the contact is 
going to be on IRLP or Echolink as he handles the  interface for ARISS.  
Sometimes the schools will also stream using their  own system.  We try to post 
if any of this is going to  happen.
 
Hope this helps.  Thanks for your interest in  ARISS.
 
73,
