NASA is recruiting up to 15 new astronauts to bolster the agency's corps of space fliers to staff the International Space Station and lay the groundwork for exploration missions beyond Earth, agency officials announced Tuesday.
Between 9 and 15 astronauts will be selected in early 2013, but the deadline to apply is Jan. 27, 2012.

Requirements for the position include a bachelor's degree in engineering, biological science, physical science, or mathematics, and at least three years of related, progressively responsible work experience.

Greetings,

Hello all and hope you get a chance to try a contact with the UHF station on-board ISS.
I left bulletin on the box and hope for replies.
