Video of ISS Ham Radio contact with WISH students - 2012

International Space Station Flight Engineer Joe Acaba, KE5DAR, used amateur (ham) radio equipment aboard the ISS to speak with high school students participating in a summer program called Women in STEM High School Aerospace Scholars, or WISH.

The students, selected from across the country, were attending briefings and engaging in competitive hands-on engineering activities related to space exploration and research.

Watch video as Joe Acaba, KE5DAR aboard the ISS  speaks with WISH Students using ham radio station W6SRJ in California in the school in the video above. 
Remember that all of the transmissions from aboard the ISS were made using ham radio equipment
and frequencies, not NASA or ISS radio equipment on their frequencies. 2012.

Suitsat-1 becomes a "Falling Star"
Suitsat has re-entered!

On the 7th of September, 2006 at 16:00 GMT, Suitsat re-entered the Earth's atmosphere over the Southern Ocean at 110.4? East latitude and 46.3?South longitude. It was over a point some 1400 km south-southwest of Cape Leeuwin (Augusta), Western Australia.

It's signals long faded from ground stations during this Ham radio experiment in space from an empty Russian space suit, Suitsat-1 plunged into history!

The right image was enhanced to remove noise using MMSSTV
as shown on the right side above.
Richard Garriott, W5KWQ, took off for the International Space Station (ISS)
 on Sunday, October 12, 2008, becoming the sixth private citizen to fly
with the Russian Federal Space Agency (RKA) for a short-term mission
 on the ISS. Not two hours after he arrived on the ISS on October 14,
Garriott was making ham radio contacts, just as his father,
Owen Garriott, W5LFL --the first ham to make QSOs from space -- did in 1983.

Compiled audio from a pass over Texas October 19, 2008!

In Memory of Neil Armstrong!
"One small step for a man - one giant leap for mankind."
"Houston: Tranquility Base here, "The Eagle has landed."

"Roger, Tranquility," Houston radioed back. "We copy you on the ground. You've got a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again.
Thanks a lot." Apollo 11, July 20, 1969
 Neil Armstrong passed into the heavens far beyond the sight of mortal men, August 2012 at age 82.
