143.625
Heard some activity on 143.625 FM on the pass of 9/6/06 20:15 utc. Sounded like Jeffrey Williams doing comm checks with NASA. Have an audio file I can share if anyone's interested. Is there a place on this site to upload it to?

ISS Contacting via 2 Meters
Hi there my name is Harry. I have been trying to do some voice work on the ISS but haven't been getting any responses. I am using the input of 144.490 and output of 145.800 FM of course. I am using Satscape with latest keps. I am using a Yaesu VX-170 ht. I did work ISS very nicely months ago when I was using an ICOM IC-02AT so I know it has nothing to do with the type of radio I am using. I live in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. Any help or info. would be appreciated. 73's from VE7HCP

UFO'S
Do you believe our gov't is hiding the truth about ufo's ?
Why so reflective?
Why is the ISS so reflective? It is relatively large, relatively close, with reflective panels etc...but it still seems unbelievably bright in the night sky. Any other scientific reasons why it is so glaring?

New station video ...plus a glimpse of the future
With STS115 about to kick start the construction programme I thought it
would be fun to predict how the station might look to observers from the
ground , near completion.
Using actual imagery I have placed a simulation at :

...its also on the main page.

Swing set physics
Seems like we burn a lot of go-juice getting getting go-juice up there. Can't we just ask these guys just stick their legs out at the top and pull them in again at the bottom?
SuitSat-1
Can anyone tell me how they know SuitSat-1 is still in space? Has it got a gps on it? Or can they see it from the ISS? It has just been announced that its still in space.
Tnx, Gerry VE6GP
Polarization
Hello!!!
I´m a new member and I´ve got a question about ISS polarization. I know that polarization changes 4 times (I think) but, in what cases change? when can I expect the polarization change? I´d like to control when the polarization changes, does any traking program control this parameter? as doppler effect...
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english
