During 1996, a group of amateur radio operators involved in the communications with the MIR Space Station, decided to join into the "Mir Fan Club". In a very short time over 1200 enthusiasts from all over the world asked to participate, including Cosmonaut Valery Korzun, while leading crew #22. Nowdays MIR is not flying anymore, but here we are again with the same spirit and the same enthusiasm for the ISS, the new International Space Station.

Packet System ACTIVE with another uplink
Thank you to PE2JMR Jan, N5VHO Kenneth and VA2VA Mario for the feedback about PMS Packet System Status.

You can try this frequency because in this moment the Crew is sleeping and there isn't way to inform about it.
