ARLA/CLUSTER: Portatil Ericsson 144 MHz inoperativo a bordo da ISS

[João Costa > CT1FBF]

ISS Columbus ham radio HT inoperative

The Ericsson 144 MHz handheld transceiver in the ISS Columbus module
used for amateur radio voice contacts and the packet radio digipeater
is unusable

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.
