At left are two graphics: a circular Series 33 anniversary-style logo with the number 33 and space-themed artwork, and a promotional SSTV Series 33 image showing the International Space Station above Earth. Text states that more than 2,400 people participated during World Space Week and that original decoded SSTV images may still be submitted at the ARISS SSTV website by 23:59 UTC on Friday, October 9, 2026, to be eligible for a certificate. Regional submission percentages are listed as Europe 47%, Asia 21%, North America 12%, South America 8%, Oceania 3%, Africa 1%, and Antarctica 0.04%, with a note that values are rounded and regions were not provided for all submissions. Self-identified STEM participant data shows educators represented 16% and students 25% of people submitting images. The ARISS logo appears in the lower right corner.

And stop at the AZ Science Center's ham radio station, W7ASC on the 3rd floor of the center. We did an ARISS contact 2 years ago and it was a big deal for even us OM. The ASC is right across the street from the convention center.
