ISS Commander Doug Wheelock KF5BOC appreciates ham radio

On Friday November 26, ISS Expedition 24 returned to earth.

At 01.22 UTC, Soyuz 23S undocked from the International Space Station with Fyodor Yurchikhin RN3FI, Douglas H. Wheelock KF5BOC and Shannon Walker KD5DXB onboard.

The trio landed their Soyuz spacecraft safely at 10:46 a.m. local time on Friday, November 26, at a site northeast of the town of Arkalyk on the Kazakhstan steppe.

Before leaving the Space Station, Commander Doug Wheelock recorded a video about Ham radio. He offered a nice mini tour of the ISS followed by a session of making ham contacts over N. America.

Watch this 20-minute NASA YouTube video.
Doug's enthusiasm is overwhelming.
