Meeting Agenda
Roll Call—Martha took attendance by using the names shown on the Go To Meeting screen.
Welcome—Frank Bauer, KA3HDO
Frank welcomed everyone to today’s meeting with news that astronaut Kjell Lindgren has been using the ham radio equipment on the ISS in his free time to make contacts with folks on the ground. Among the folks he talked with are the new ARISS summer interns.
1. Call for Acceptance of Minutes—Frank Bauer and Martha Muir
For the ARISS-International Monthly Meeting on May 17, 2022 Martha recorded the minutes and distributed the file to ARISS Delegates prior to this ARISS-I meeting. Ciaran a motion to accept the minutes. Gaston seconded that motion. The minutes was adopted without dissent and will be sent to Carol Jackson to be posted on the ARISS-I webpage.
2. Updates on Russian CubeSat program- Sergey Samburov
[Informational]
Sergey needed to leave this meeting early so this section of the meeting’s Agenda was moved to this place in the meeting.
Here is Rosalie’s summary of Sergey’s report: Students at South West State University (SWSU) in Kursk, Russia in conjunction with ARISS-Russia, designed and built eight Tsiolkovsky SWSU satellites, with six launched to the ISS on February 17 and two more on June 3. Oleg Artemyev prepped the satellites, connecting them to the Service Module’s antenna feed device, and turned them on during orbits over Korolyov (Russian Mission Control Center) while controllers checked the performance. They received telemetry, confirming the satellites’ operability. SWSU will make circuit board diagrams available to other students to investigate. The mission of the SWSU satellites is to: create a peer-to-peer information network, study Earth's magnetic field, measure radio noise in outer space, and transmit photos and voice messages (each satellite’s phrase is different) in eight languages to radio amateurs everywhere. Two other satellites were built by Ryazan State Radio Engineering University and were launched to the ISS. The Tsiolkovsky-Ryazan devices carry transmitters that will calibrate the sensitivity of radio telescopes at Pushchino Radio Astronomy Observatory at the Astro-Space Center of the Physical Institute. The two satellites can emit radio signals to help the study of radio wave propagation in the ionosphere. All of the spacecraft are named Tsiolkovsky satellites to honor what would be Konstantin Tsiolkovsky’s (Father of Russian Rocketry) 165th birthday. It is hoped that during a spacewalk in about a month, Oleg Artemyev, perhaps with the assistance of Samantha Cristoferetti, should be launching these satellites. The units will orbit for about 1.5 years.
Frank thanked Sergey for his comprehensive report and asked him to let us know when the satellites are going to be deployed and we will get the word out. Gaston and Graham thanked Sergey as well.
3. 2022 Ear to Ear Meeting – Frank Bauer
Frank let everyone know that he just returned from a UN meeting in Austria. He said this meeting used a hybrid format with some folks attending in person and others attending online. Last month’s Hamvention was held Face to Face. This month’s Friedrichshafen will be Face to Face. Given this, Frank said he hopes we will be able to meet in person for our Eye to Eye meeting next year with a hybrid option. Next year will be the 40th anniversary of Owen Garriott’s first use of ham radio in space. Perhaps we will have a meeting in the spring and another one in late fall. Think about this as something to discuss during the Ear to Ear meeting.
Referring to this year’s Ear to Ear meeting, Frank said we need to refine Oliver’s tentative plans for the meeting to actual details. We need to know what team members are planning to have presentations (let officers know). Each delegation is expected to have a report as is each committee. These reports are due by July 5.

Shizuo shared his report on frequency coordination with the Chinese Space Agency. Shizuo shared this info and link: “You can get the information about the frequencies by accessing to http://www.amsat.org.uk/iaru/ and going to the section “Satellites for which frequencies have been coordinated” and selecting “CSS ARC satellite”.
Graham reported that he worked with IARU coordination. Frank thanked Shizuo for bringing up this information. ITU Coordination Group and Space Frequency Coordination Group are working on plans for the far side of the moon and beyond. Glenn said that his group is working with their regulators at the World Radio Conference.
Frank thanked everyone for the depth and breadth of what they do for ARISS.
Next meeting: Ear to Ear meeting July 19 to July 22.
