ARISS leadership worldwide are saddened to share this news about Gaston Bertels, ON4WF (SK).   Gaston was a trusted member of the team for more than 30 years.

Looks like the SM radio on the #ISS is back in packet mode. Enjoy what you can before the EVA on Dec 19 when it will have to be shut off. #ARISS #hamradio

SSTV Event Upcoming! Just in time for the holidays and New Year, we're planning an SSTV event from December 25 to January 5. Celebrate with us with some great memories of ARISS 2024 in this series. It all starts 1 week from today. Watch for updates as the start time gets

We get excited when we see people from our past inspire hams of the future!   In this case, Owen Garriott, W5LFL, was able to interest McKenzie, now KO4GLN about ham radio! Thanks to the W1DED YouTube channel for documenting this.  Watch the whole video there:

Rabea Rogge We're excited to be working with you Rabea Rogge! For our followers we have some additional detail on what this event will entail. There will be much more to share as things get closer!

#ASEspotlight: Robert Hines 💫 ASE member Bob “Farmer” Hines had fun with fluid physics as he observed the behavior of a free-flying water bubble aboard the International Space Station in October 2022. Fun fact: His ham radio operator call sign is KI5RQT! Happy 50th birthday, Farmer! 🎉

The FRAM2Ham event is focused on getting students around the world to collaborate on capturing and decoding images sent via SSTV during the mission. Teams are forming now via a FRAM2Ham discord server.  Find the link and get involved at: fram2ham.com Rabea Rogge

Let's do our Thursday check-in on FRAM2Ham. There are only 12 days remaining to form up teams for the student activity. Feb. 10 is the deadline. Visit FRAM2Ham.com to sign up and for more info.

Looking forward to being part of the forum on Saturday.

You have more time to form your student FRAM2Ham teams! The team deadline has JUST been extended for Feb. 28. So, find your team and get ready to practice at this weekend's SSTV event. Transmissions will start Thursday Feb. 13 ~around~ 12:00 UTC | 7:00 AM ET. Rabea Rogge

Our ARISS STEM contacts for educational groups start with a proposal process. The process is underway in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. There's a new online form to help groups get started. Visit ARISS.org for more info in your part of the world.

Upload but please don't share. This is a dry run for the FRAM2 experiment.
