ARISS SSTV Award
Hello ST2NH,
This ARISS SSTV
event is dedicated to "Present ISS Space Agency Contributions to Lunar
Exploration, Past, Present and Future.” The SSTV slides provide some
historical context to several missions, some not well known, that
significantly contributed to Lunar Exploration either from a technology
or scientific perspective. General intention of the ARISS SSTV slides is
to provide aspects to the observers that may not be known before and
could offer a base for own investigations on space history.
Amateur
Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies
that support the International Space Station (ISS). The primary goal of
ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, the
arts, and mathematics topics. ARISS does this by organizing scheduled
contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and
students. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators,
parents, and communities take part in hands-on learning activities tied
to space, space technologies, and amateur radio.

ARISS SSTV Award
Hello Nader Omer -ST2NH,
This time the SSTV
images series is dedicated to radio amateur astronauts and cosmonauts and
their activities on board of the Space Shuttle, Mir Space station and
International Space Station. The ARISS SSTV Award presents three
special people.
On the left: Musa Manarov U2MIR -
Russian cosmonaut who launched amateur radio equipment on board of the
Mir space station. He made the first amateur radio communication in
October 1988. Consequently, the MAREX (Mir Amateur Radio Experiment) and
MIREX (Mir International Amateur radio EXperiment) programs were
created.
Center: Sergey Krikalyov U5MIR -
Russian cosmonaut, member of the Expedition 1 on the International Space
Station. In November 2000 launched an amateur radio station on board of
the ISS. This event was the beginning of ARISS (Amateur Radio on the
International Space Station) school contacts. Many cosmonauts and
astronauts also conducted unscheduled radio communications, which made a
lot of joy for the radio amateurs around the world.
On the right: American Owen Garriott W5LFL who was the first astronaut and amateur radio operator to take with him on the space shuttle Columbia (STS-9 mission in 1983) amateur radio equipment and conducted radio communications with radio amateurs on Earth. Hereby the SAREX program (Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment later called Space Amateur Radio Experiment) was created.
