ARISS 40th Anniversary

Picture
    Overview
  • During the November/December 1983 fight of the STS-9 Space Shuttle Columbia mission, astronaut Owen Garriott, W5LFL, performed numerous amateur radio contacts. 
 
  • This public interaction with on-board astronauts, independent of mission control, represented a transformational change in astronaut on-board communications.
 
  • In the past 40 years the amateur radio community innovated many human spaceflight “firsts” now emulated by others, e.g. school contacts, friends and family connections, engaging STEM activities and on-board experiments, deployment of satellites from ISS (Suitsat), etc.
