 About ARISS:

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS).  In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab-Space Station Explorers and NASA's Space Communications and Navigation program. The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, the arts, and mathematics topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ARISS Contact is Scheduled for Students at Oregon Charter Academy, Mill City, Oregon - USA

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) has received schedule confirmation for an ARISS radio contact with astronauts. ARISS is the group that puts together special amateur radio contacts between students around the globe and crew members with ham radio licenses on the International Space Station (ISS).
This will be a Multipoint Telebridge Contact via Amateur Radio between the ISS and students from Oregon Charter Academy (ORCA), in Mill City, OR. During the ARISS radio contact, students will take turns asking their questions of astronaut Shannon Walker, whose amateur radio call sign is KD5DXB.

The downlink frequency for this contact is 145.800 MHz.

ARISS team member Shane Lynd, using call sign VK4KHZ from an amateur radio club station in Glenden, Queensland, Australia will serve as the relay amateur radio station. Each student asking a question of Shannon Walker will be teleconferenced from home or social-distanced at school.
The ARISS radio contact is scheduled for December 15, 2020 at 11:00 am PST (Mill City), (19:00 UTC,2:00 pm EST, 1:00 pm CST, 12:00 noon MST, 11:00 am PST).

A public virtual charter school, ORCA (with about 4,800 students ages 5 to18) provides online programs via video teleconferencing, and virtual classroom courses (Zoom). ORCA opened in 2005, can reach students statewide (including remote areas), and employs over 200 teachers and staff.
ORCA is in the second year of a partnership with the James P. Loftus Mobile Museum to provide monthly assemblies on a variety of STEM topics (astronomy, space science and engineering related) via the Remote and Distant Interactive Online Sessions (RADIOS) program. These RADIOS are interactive assemblies that highlight educational programming provided in real time by NASA and live-streamed from Space Center Houston. Additionally, student activities related to this ARISS contact have been used to supplement existing STEM course study materials.

The upcoming ARISS contact will provide students with a significant, relevant and timely showcase event that is being utilized to increase student's awareness of and interest in STEM-related careers. ORCA provides high school students with special opportunities through a program all about career and technical education.

confirmation for an ARISS radio contact with astronauts. ARISS is the group that puts together special
amateur radio contacts between students around the globe and crew members with ham radio licenses
on the International Space Station (ISS).
This will be a telebridge contact via amateur radio and students will take turns asking their questions of
Victor Glover, amateur radio call sign KI5BKC. The ARISS team in Casale Monferrato, Italy will use call
sign IK1SLD to serve as the ARISS relay amateur radio ground station. English is the language that will
be used for this contact. The downlink frequency for this contact is 145.800 MHz.
The ARISS radio contact is scheduled for December 4, 2020 at 1:25 pm CET in Pistoia (12:25 UTC, 7:25

Italy. About 120 students, ages 13 – 14 years, will be present during the contact, with 20 students asking
the questions. Students were guided by their STEAM studies to develop their questions for the contact,
and afterwards, to better understand the astronaut's answers; they will apply the topics in experimental
analogies in their science laboratory classes. Anna Frank school has two science laboratories: one
dedicated to chemistry and physics, and another dedicated to biology and anatomy.
