Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS)
A small group of dedicated Amateur's world wide have run the ARISS program since 2001, which is sponsored by NASA, ARRL, and AMSAT to give students and young people a chance to speak live with the crew on board the International Space Station as it circles 370 kilometres above the earth at a speed 27,000 Kph.
NZART has received an invitation to join this program and is enthusiastic about this activity, the project will be part of the recruitment process to encourage new Amateurs and perhaps a career in radio and electronics. This is a wonderful opportunity for our branches to become involved in a project that includes your local school, Scout group, Amateur Radio and the International Space Station.
A Coordinator for New Zealand has been appointed and is well on the way planning for future school contacts, he is Peter Norden ZL2SJ. Peter is able to advise interested people, clubs, schools, how to go about registering for an ARISS contact here in New Zealand.
