Malaysia to send astronaut to ISS

Earlier this month, Malaysia announced that two Malaysian doctors had become new radio hams.

One will be chosen to travel to the International Space Station under the Malaysian National Angkasawan Program with Russia.

Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, 9W2MUS or Captain Dr Faiz Khaleed, 9W2FIZ, will make contacts with students via ISS ham radio.
