Hello All,

I have updated ISS information on my website.
There is also information about the ISS hamradio
station on board ISS (pics and info).
The information came from the Practical -
Wirless UK hamradio magazine 2004 (with permission!).
In the story you can read history information
about the Kenwood TM-D700 in ISS.

I have made also an easy quick install guide
for UISS, and UIVIEW software to operate
ISS with APRS/PACKET.

International Space Station Expedition 11's sixth ARISS school contact will be with students at the Zurich International School, Horgen, Switzerland on Friday, 10 June 2005. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:10 UTC.
This contact will be direct between stations NA1SS and HB9ZIS, the school's amateur radio club. It should be audible to anyone in central and southern Europe listening in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The participants will conduct the conversation in English.

A new capability was added to the operation of the ISS this week as a final round of tests to commission remote control of the Station's Canadarm2 robotic arm from the ground was completed.

The Baikonur cosmodrome marked its 50th anniversary Thursday. Baikonur launched the first satellite and the first man into space.

ARRL has all the info on this unique opportunity for school kids to put something they created into space. HURRY, The deadline is June 15.
