ARISS is an international educational outreach
program partnering the participating space agencies, NASA, Russian Space
Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA, with the AMSAT and IARU organizations
from participating countries.
ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement
of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board the International
Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how
Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize
youngsters' interest in science, technology, and learning.
Further information on the ARISS program is available on the website
http://www.rac.ca/ariss
(graciously hosted by the Radio Amateurs of Canada).
Thank you & 73,
