UI-View32 access to ISS - newbie

Hello all

Im new to ISS communications and am running UI-VIEW32

I can communicate to local stations no problem

Can you anyone advise me if it is possible to detect ISS using UI-View and if so what configurations are needed as different sites show various unproto addresses and this is confusing to a new bie

Im using 50W FM ICom FM rig on 144.825 with TNC to a 2m vertical on the roof of my house

Rides on Soyuz Spacecraft are Rocky, But Not Risky

Space News

The crew of the International Space Station will get a go-ahead next week to perform spacewalking inspections as part of a probe into back-to-back ballistic re-entries by Russian Soyuz spacecraft.

Two veteran cosmonauts, meanwhile, say the type of steep trajectories flown by consecutive Soyuz crews are safe-but-rocky rides back to Earth.

"Imagine you drive a luxury car with fine shock absorbers, not feeling the road at all," said Pavel Vinogradov, who served on Russia's Mir space station and commanded an expedition to the new outpost.

NASA Astronaut Readapts to Life on Earth

Space News

American astronaut Garrett Reisman is getting reacquainted with gravity and baseball as he readjusts to life on Earth after three months living in space.

Reisman, 40, is looking forward seeing his beloved New York Yankees play the Boston Red Sox in New York on Sunday, just over three weeks after returning on Earth following his 95-day trek to the International Space Station (ISS).

"I'm looking forward to coming back and having a real slice of pizza, and seeing my friends and family in New Jersey and New York," said Reisman, a Parsippany, N.J.-native, in a recent televised interview.
