Want to talk to the crew on the ISS using amateur radio? Patience is key. When crew members have free time and choose to get on the air, they will use the ARISS cross-band voice repeater for casual contacts. These sessions are unscheduled, so the best approach is to listen and be ready.

Tuesday science tip: The ARISS voice repeater always transmits on 437.800 MHz, but you may not receive it exactly there. As the ISS moves across the sky, the signal appears to shift in frequency. That's Doppler shift, and adjusting for it can help you hear more of each pass.

One of the ways teachers bring art into their ARISS event planning is to have students design a mission patch for their contact. Educators, what unique activities have you done pre-contact?

Graphic titled “Mission Patch Symbolism.” The graphic explains the meaning behind a student-designed mission patch created for Mountain View Elementary School in Marietta, Georgia, for an ARISS contact. At left is the embroidered patch. The patch shows the International Space Station above Earth, a large blue-and-gold letter “M” for Mountain View Elementary, a radio antenna transmitting signals, stars in yellow, white, and blue, and a moon in the upper left corner. Text around the patch references the Cherokee Amateur Radio Society, Cobb County Public Library, and the North Fulton Amateur Radio League. A checklist at right identifies the symbols: contributor names, the ISS receiving the message, the moon as a space reference, “M” for Mountain View Elementary, Earth as home, the antenna as the bridge for sending and receiving messages, ARISS facilitating the contact, yellow stars representing local sponsors, white stars representing kindergarten through second grade, two medium blue stars representing third and fifth grades, and one large blue star representing fourth grade, whose students created the winning patch design. Bottom text reads: “Congratulations to Leo, Luke and Cole, the 4th Grade Design Winners.”
