New ISS ham radio packet equipment awaiting unpacking

The ARRL reports new *Amateur Radio on the International Space Station* (ARISS)
packet equipment awaits unpacking and installation on board the station
after arriving in November as part of the cargo transported via a Russian
71P Progress resupply vehicle.

The new packet module for NA1SS will replace the current packet gear, which
has been intermittent over the past year.

“With the arrival of Progress complete, the crew has to find free time
unpack Progress, uninstall the intermittent module, and then set up and
test the replacement packet module,� explained Dan Barstow, KA1ARD, senior
education manager of the ISS National Laboratory (CASIS), an ARISS sponsor.

The ISS packet system was reported to have gone down in July 2017, although
it unexpectedly came back to life the following summer. At the time of the
failure, NASA ISS Ham Radio Project Engineer Kenneth Ransom, N5VHO, said
the revived system would fill the gap until the replacement packet module
was launched and installed. The packet system operates on 145.825 MHz.
ARISS hardware team members on the ground were able to locate a functional
duplicate of the ISS packet module that has been in use on the ISS for 17
years. ARISS said the subsequent installation will depend on the crew’s
busy schedule.
