(My) First Contact

AeroMechAZ — Thu, 13 Dec 2018 02:21:30 +0000

I actually made my first ISS voice contact with Serena Auńon-Chancellor. I had been monitoring the downlink frequency on the off chance that they would be sending SSTV as they did back in June and July. Boy, was I surprised when I hear Serena saying, "NA1SS, NA1SS, over North America, anyone want to talk?"
I grabbed my mic (Icom IC-706MkIIG) and keyed up, forgetting I wasn't on the uplink frequency, giving my call, then remembered to switch to 144.490 and lo and behold, she HEARD me! Said they were over the TX/OK area at that point. Slant-line distance estimate, about 1000 miles!

BIG PROBLEMS TODAY ON ISS !!!

Thursday, Aug. 30. 2018

About 7 p.m. EDT Wednesday, International Space Station flight controllers in Houston and Moscow began seeing signs of a minute pressure leak in the complex.

As flight controllers monitored their data, the decision was made to allow the Expedition 56 crew to sleep since they were in no danger. When the crew was awakened at its normal hour this morning, flight controllers at Mission Control in Houston and at the Russian Mission Control Center outside Moscow began working procedures to try to determine the location of the leak.
