ARISS Celebrating 20 Years of Continuous Operations on ISS
ARISS Celebrating 20 Years of Continuous Operations on ISS. ARISS was
established in 1996 as the successor to SAREX (Shuttle Amateur Radio
Experiment on the USA Shuttles) existing since 1983. Activities
onboard the International Space Station (ISS) by the space agencies:
NASA, Roscosmos,
ESA, JAXA, and CSA as well as AMSAT and organizations affiliated to
the International Amateur Radio Union (IARU) from the countries
participating in
the program, began in 2000. The first test of amateur radio contacts
using the HAM station on the ISS with ground stations from Russia and
the United
States, took place 20 years ago on November 13. In the following
days, there were other communication tests, while the first successful
contact of ARISS
with the school took place on December 21, 2000. After that more
than 1300 school ARISS contact over the World were performed using
callsings: RS0ISS,
NA1SS, OR4ISS, IR0ISS, DP0ISS, FX0ISS, GB1SS, FX0STD, HL0ARISS,
IZ0JPA, AB55IK, 9W2MUS, PY0AEB.
Presently after 20 years of continuous operations, ARISS
volunteers carry out many amateur radio experiments: radio voice
repeaters, Digital APRS
repeaters, amateur radio satellites, SSTV images, ARISS activity
awards, and direct audio and digital video contacts with the ISS crew.
It offers students
the chance to have an exciting experience – a face-to-face
conversation via amateur radio with the crew members onboard the
International Space Station.
It activates young people's interest in STEAM and motivates them to
learn.
