Radio amateurs transmit with the International Space Station ISS
As part of theARISS program, schools occasionally make contact with the ISS space station. The USKA has already succeeded in carrying out such projects on several occasions.
Are you on the lookout for the International Space Station (ISS), for example, hoping to make contact? Now there’s a new option to help you spot the ISS more easily. NASA has released a new version of its mobile application “Spot the Station”, which can be downloaded either from Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=gov.nasa.hq.SpotTheStation&hl=en_US or from the Apple Store https://apps.apple.com/de/app/spot-the-station/id6449235044. Before the station passes overhead, you will be notified in time to prepare for operation via APRS or voice repeater.
Although NASA will continue to send notifications via email and text messages, the new app allows users to see predictions of visible overflights. You can also set alerts that will allow you to see the ISS in time when it comes into view. Visit https://spotthestation.nasa.gov for more information and direct links to the app stores. Andy Morrison, K9AWM, reports on this in the Amateur Newsline.
