ISS astronauts link-up with ITU WRC-15 in Geneva

The ITU World Radiocommunication Conference 2015 (WRC-15) is taking place
in Geneva from November 2-27. On Tuesday, November 3 at 1241 UT there was
an amateur radio link-up between WRC-15 and two astronauts on the
International Space Station (ISS).

The contact took place using the permanent amateur radio station at the
ITU. The station’s normal call sign is 4U1ITU but during the conference the
special call sign *4U1WRC* is being used.

Students from Institut Florimont were able to use the ITU station to talk
to astronauts *Kjell Lindgren KO5MOS* and *Kimiya Yui KG5BPH* who were
using the  amateur radio station in the ISS Columbus module, call sign
OR4ISS.

The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program
established the first permanent amateur radio presence in space 15 years
ago. The inaugural ARISS contact took place on December 21, 2000, between a
member of the ISS Expedition 1 crew and youngsters at Luther Burbank
Elementary School near Chicago. Several pupils and a teacher got to chat
using amateur radio with “Space Station Alpha� Commander *William “Shep�
Shepherd KD5GSL*.

Watch ARISS contact with WRC-15 and Institut Florimont



The ARISS program lets students worldwide experience the excitement of
talking directly with crew members of the International Space Station,
inspiring them to pursue interests in careers in science, technology,
engineering and math, and engaging them with radio science technology
through amateur radio.
