Another round of MAI-75 experiments are planned for Aug 3 and 4. The VC-H1 unit in auto mode (Robot-36 and transmitting once every 3 minutes) should be operational on 145.800 MHz from approximately 0800-1600 UTC each day. Information on the MAI-75 experiment is available at http://www.energia.ru/eng/iss/researches/education-26.html and updates at http://ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/

Heard the ISS today at 13:32 - 13:38 est. in Huntington Wv. on 145.800 mhz,,very clear rec. at a 5 by 7.. This was my frist try at this, radio used was a Icom IC-7000 and a diamond x200a dual-band base ant. at 30' .I hope next time i can make contact,they already had a qso going about jobs and task on board the ISS,so i just sat back and listend. 73

Can anyone recommend a better way for me to see the ISS flyovers? I have a compass and binoculars. I am loving the search and any information would be greatly appreciated.

Back in 2003 ARISS did a special Event "The Roy Neal Commemorative Certificate",could ARISS do the same for Walter Cronkite ? Thanks KB1GVR.

Bob Bruninga reported the following on AMSAT-BB:
"The two ANDE satellites (Castor and Pollux) will be deployed from the Space Shuttle now that it has separated from the ISS. Both satellites will be transmitting on 145.825 MHz. Castor will transmit telemetry every 30 seconds. Pollux every 33 seconds. Both are transmitting 1200 baud AX.25 packet Telemetry."

Guess folks will have to pay close attention when reporting ISS packet as it could be one of these satellites instead.

Greetings All,

Nice to read the reports being posted on the forum regarding the third space craft.
I've been checking the posted mission time-line that states that STS-127 is due to undock from the ISS Tuesday at 1:21EDT. The Soyuz-Progress 32P will dock with ISS on Wednesday at 7:11EDT.

This will be a great sight to see in the night sky on Tuesday night! (3 objects)
Hope to read follow-up sighting reports of from anywhere.

Good-Luck! de VE1WRG-Derek

Hello there all,
I am new in listening to satellit.
One week ago I buy for ebay a receiver Icom R-7000, and also buy a new discone antenna model Diamond D-130-J, the coax cable is 75 feet LMR400.
My question is that I have possibilities of listening to the ISS and other satellites, also I have the program "Orbitron".
Many thanks to all and 73

No, this is not a UFO sighting, but it is my first post!

I was viewing an ISS pass tonight with a couple friends when we noticed a third (in addition to the ISS / shuttle complex) object pass in precisely the same orbit. I checked my regular tracking site (heavens_above) and saw nothing. Then I noticed that the Russians launched a cargo vessel this morning.

Could I have seen this object pass in orbit? Whatever it was, it was a beautiful sight!

Hi. I am getting ready to upgrade from my homemade 2 meter Jpole to a commercial VHF/UHF vertical (of course with a bunch of low-loss cable). Is worth? My goal is first to work on satellites like AO-51 and then when I will have some experience, to try *again* making a QSO with ISS, my ultimate goal.
I have a dualband homemade yagi (VHF/UHF) but it is very difficult to move my TRX+PSU from my shack to my balcony every time a satellite is passing. I just want to work them from my chair with no stress every hour and a half :). Please give me some ideas.

hi all, how do i make contact with the iss ?
many thanks
