By Miles Mann WF1F,

MAREX-MG News www.marexmg.org

Manned Amateur Radio Experiment

International Space Station, Voice link, May 3, 2008 Saturday
Starting at 16:10 UTC
Ending approximately at 16:10 UTC

(12:10 PM Boston time)

For the next few weeks the crew of the International Space Station 
will be treating Short-Wave-Listeners and Amateur radio operators to 
live down links from ISS via the Amateur Radio station on ISS. The 
crew will be conducting Weekly radio links to schools in North 
America. Everyone is invited to listen to the down links.

See Path below

This week Short-wave-Listeners and amateur radio operators will be 
able to listen to the ISS via amateur radio directly. Listeners 
living within 500+ miles of one of the cities below should be able to 
hear the signals directly with a simple scanner or other VHF receiver 
(an outside antenna is recommended 0 dBd gain or better). ISS will 
be transmitting on 145.800 FM (5 kHz deviation). You will only be 
able to here one side of the conversation, since the school will be 
transmitting on an undisclosed uplink frequency (VHF or UHF).

If you do not have a tracking program, here is a live link to NASA 
that will show you where ISS is located.

City Path:

Starting with the city of Fargo ND, ISS will be flying from North 
West to South East, exiting over Virginia Beach.

will need to be within 500 miles of this line. But,,, if you have a 
nice big 9 dBd gain antenna you can be 1200+ miles away and still 
hear the down link, Strap)

An International Space Station Expedition 17 ARISS school contact has
been planned with participants at the National Air and Space Museum
(NASM), Washington, DC, USA on 03 May. The event is scheduled to begin
at approximately 16:10 UTC.

The contact will be a telebridge between stations NA1SS and NN1SS in
Maryland. The contact should be audible over most of the Eastern USA.
Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz 
downlink.
The participants are expected to conduct the conversation in English.
Audio from the QSO is planned to be fed into the EchoLink *AMSAT* (101
377) and *JK1ZRW* (277 208) servers and the IRLP 9010 reflector during
the contact.

The Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum maintains
the largest collection of historic air and spacecraft in the world. It
is also a vital center for research into the history, science, and
technology of aviation and space flight, as well as planetary science
and terrestrial geology and geophysics. This ARISS contact is part of
the space day events celebrating NASA's 50th anniversary. This event 
is
made possible by the generous support of Lockheed Martin.

Due to the live nature of this event, participants will selected the 
day
of the contact and no advance copy of the questions is available.
Participants will ask as many questions as time permits.

ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the
participating space agencies, NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES,
JAXA, and CSA, with the AMSAT and IARU organizations from 
participating
countries.

ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement 
of
Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board the
International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see,
first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize
youngsters' interest in science, technology, and learning. Further
information on the ARISS program is available on the website
http://www.rac. <http://www.rac.ca/ariss> ca/ariss (graciously hosted by the
Radio Amateurs of
Canada). 

Thank you & 73,
