LISTS OF CONTACTS

Hello to the group. Has anyone come across or does anyone know if the ISS or NASA has a logged list of amatuer radio contacts besides the school contacts that can be viewed?

Thanks........

Astronauts Working to Retract Solar Array

ISS NewsDiscovery's crew is still working on the retraction of the port P6 solar arrays that began at 1:28 p.m. EST (6:28 utc). The bays have not been folding properly, and astronauts have been repeatedly retracting and deploying the panels in an attempt to properly align them.

Solar activity vs. EVA

i was looking at space weather.com and saw this listed

NOTE: A radiation storm just underway has overwhelmed solar wind sensors onboard NASA's ACE spacecraft. Solar wind readings reported above are temporarily unreliable.

aslo heard mentioned on nasa tv that the crew(s) were told to goto a special place on the iss becuase of radiation concerns.... will or could this solar activity effect the time line of the space walks???

STS-116 MCC Status Report #07

Space Shuttle

The International Space Station is now two tons heavier, with the installation today of its newest truss segment during the flight's first spacewalk.

Mission Specialists Bob Curbeam and Christer Fuglesang ventured outside the station to attach the P5 segment of the station's truss and replace a failed camera needed to support future assembly tasks. They also were able to fit in some extra tasks that will save future spacewalkers time, including plugging the new segment into the existing truss, removing the locks that held it steady during launch and opening a latch that will allow the P6 segment to be attached when it is moved from its current, temporary location to its permanent place at the end of the port truss.

Charles Simonyi - no radio contacts

Charles Simonyi says on his [url=http://www.charlesinspace.com/]website[/url]: Q: Do you have or will you obtain your amateur radio license so you can operate onboard the ISS? A: No, I plan to communicate with people through the Internet.
