July 11, 2022—Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) has received schedule confirmation for an ARISS radio contact between an astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and Japanese scouts in Sayama City.  ARISS conducts 60-80 of these special amateur radio contacts each year between students around the globe and crew members with ham radio licenses aboard the ISS.
 
2nd Sayama group Saitama Council Scouts Association of Japan will be hosting this ARISS contact for scouts who have been participating in scouting activities including learning about amateur radio, electricity, and space. During this scouting event they will have also hosted an amateur radio licensing class.
 
This will be a direct contact via Amateur Radio allowing students to ask their questions of Astronaut Kjell Lindgren, amateur radio call sign KO5MOS. Local Covid-19 protocols are adhered to as applicable for each ARISS contact. The downlink frequency for this contact is 145.800 MHZ and may be heard by listeners that are within the ISS-footprint that also encompasses the ground station.
 
The amateur radio ground station for this contact is in Sayama City, Japan. Amateur radio operators, using call sign 8J1SBS, will operate the ground station to establish and maintain the ISS connection.
 
The ARISS radio contact is scheduled for July 13, 2022 at 8:57 pm JST (Saitama, Japan) (11:57 UTC, 7:57 am EDT, 6:57 am CDT, 5:57 am MDT, 4:57 am PDT).
