ARISS / ISS

As part of the ARISS programme, schools occasionally make radio contact with the ISS space station — organised by dedicated USKA radio amateurs.

Contacts with the ISS

In Switzerland, too, radio amateurs enable schools to make contact with the ISS: Mario Malacarne, HB9IRM, organised school contacts with the space station at his school in Richterswil.
