ARISS Contact is Scheduled with Students at Colegio Educación del Talento (Talent Education College), Yerba Buena, Tucumán, Argentina
September 22, 2023—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 students at the Colegio Educación del Talento in Yerba Buena, Argentina. 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.
Talent Education College provides a backbone music instrumental curriculum based on the Suzuki philosophy. The school is a registered center of Trinity College London and offers intensive English and international certificates as well as other disciplines with extracurricular activities (Orchestra, Science Club, Singing Workshop). Members of the Radio Club Tucuman (LU5KHF) are supporting the school for this ARISS contact.
This will be a direct contact via Amateur Radio allowing students to ask their questions of Astronaut Andreas Mogensen, amateur radio call sign KG5GCZ. 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 relay ground station.
The amateur radio ground station for this contact is in Yerba Buena, Argentina. Amateur radio operators using call sign LU5KHF, will operate the ground station to establish and maintain the ISS connection.
The ARISS radio contact is scheduled for September 25, 2023 at 12:04:47 pm ART(Argentina) (15:04:47 UTC, 11:04 am EDT, 10:04 am CDT, 9:04 am MDT, 8:04 am PDT).
