Message from Frank Bauer (KA3HDO) :
"All,
Included as part of today’s successful launch of the SpaceX Dragon vehicle to ISS is an ARISS Ericsson 2 meter VHF radio. This radio will replace the Ericsson radio that failed a few months ago. The VHF radio is used for school group contacts and amateur packet radio in the Columbus module.

APRS to ISS via APRSdroid
OK, so I have been reading a few of the forum entries here and I think I have what I need put together for the most part, but I still have a question or two.
I want to try to do a couple of things, one I would like to send a location packet to the the ISS, and two I would like to attempt a CQ.
I plan to use one of my Baofeng HT's connected to a mobillinkd TNC and my phone running APRSdroid. I have used this setup many times for local APRS and it works great. What I need to make certain I understand is how to set it and operate it when trying to use the ISS digipeater.
