Radio Ham on BBC World Service

Radio amateur *Dennis Wingo KD4ETA* along with freelance science writer and
broadcast journalist *Kate Arkless Gray* were on the BBC World Service
*Click* radio show

The show - Space and Citizen Science - was broadcast live from the BBC
Radio Theatre, London on Tuesday, March 31, 2015.

Prior to the broadcast Kate Arkless Gray, who hopes to become an astronaut,
tweeted:
*"Goodness. Didn't realise #BBCClickRadio was actually going out live. No
pressure, says @billt [Bill Thompson], it's only going to a third of the
world. Ah"*

Talking over a telephone link Dennis KD4ETA described how in 2014 radio
amateurs and other volunteers gained control of of the NASA-abandoned
ISEE-3/ICE spacecraft. They even succeeded in firing the spacecraft
thrusters. During the show Dennis managed to squeeze in a mention of
amateur radio satellites and CubeSats.

The BBC description reads:



*Our excitement over space has taken on new dimensions with nations such as
India showing they too have the technical expertise and energy to mount a
mission to Mars. Citizen Science has also shown how ordinary people can
make important contributions to the space adventure. Myriad groups of
volunteers have launched their own ambitious projects: such as the team who
decided to awaken a spacecraft, more or less forgotten by NASA; and another
team who plan to build the first crowd-funded moon lander. In a special
edition of Click, Gareth Mitchell and Bill Thompson are joined by a panel
of experts to explore our fascination with Space, and to discuss how our
knowledge of life beyond earth benefits from the input of volunteers and
Citizen Science.*
