ARISS ham radio contact planned with Quebec Rangers

Quebec Rangers, southern Quebec, Canada has been scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Friday, July 2 at 19:45 UTC via telebridge station ON4ISS in Belgium.

Canadian Rangers are dedicated, knowledgeable members of the Army and reflect the diversity of the communities they belong to.

Many Canadian Rangers are Aboriginal and there are a total of 23 different languages spoken.

Easily recognized by their red sweatshirts and ball hats, the Canadian Rangers play an important role in advancing public recognition of Canada's Inuit, First Nations and Métis.
