ARLA/CLUSTER: Equipamentos de radioamador disponiveis actualmente na ISS

Current Amateur Radio status on board the International Space Station

The VHF handheld radio model that has been used by the ARISS program to
connect students worldwide with astronauts on board the International Space
Station (ISS) for over 16 years has given an error message and is unusable
at this time.

While the ARISS technical team evaluates the best path to restore operation
from the Columbus module, ARISS contacts will be supported using the
Kenwood radio in the Russian Service Module.
During this period, the packet digipeater will be unavailable.

Switching to the 70 cm radio capability on board the Columbus module for
some operations is being coordinated. Expect further updates as we work to
resolve this problem.

About ARISS

*Amateur Radio on the International Space Station* (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies
that support the International Space Station (ISS).

In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation
(AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the
Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA).

The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts
via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in
classrooms or informal education venues.

With the help of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak
directly with large audiences in a variety of public forums. Before and
during these radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities
learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more
information, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
