ISS Columbus module 145 MHz radio update

ARISS has provided an update on the status of the 145 MHz amateur radio transceiver in the Columbus module of the ISS.

In the July 17 ARISS meeting Kenneth Ransom N5VHO reported that his group is in the final stages of preparing the certification for flight of the replacement hardware for the degraded Ericsson VHF [145 MHz] radio.

The Ericsson rig is part of the 2nd ISS amateur radio station that is located in the Columbus module.

The team had hoped for a launch of the equipment on flight 33-S [Dec. 5], but it may be launched on flight 49-P [Nov. 1], which is a month sooner than 33-S. The team is endeavoring to finish the certification in time for this earlier flight option. The degraded Ericsson VHF radio may be returned on flight 32-S in October. The team is very interested in trying to determine what the problem has been with this radio.
