Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) announced on April 18, 2014 the US schools/host organizations newly se
lected for 2024 ARISS contacts. A total of 9 of the submitted proposals during the recent proposal window have been accepted to
move forward in the processes of planning to host a scheduled amateur radio contact with crew on the ISS. The primary goal of
the ARISS program is to engage young people in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM) activities and raise the
ir awareness of space communications, radio communications, space exploration, and related areas of study and career possibilit
ies.
[ARISS News]
The ARISS program anticipates that NASA will be able to provide scheduling opportunities for the 9 US host organizations during
the July – December 2024 time period. They are now at work starting to implement their 4–6-month education plan which was
outlined in their proposal. These STEAM based educational activities help prepare students for their contact as well as create
an on-going exploration and interest in aerospace and amateur radio topics. They are also completing an acceptable equipment pl
an that demonstrates their ability to execute the ham radio contact. Once their equipment plan is approved by ARISS, the final
selected schools/organizations will be scheduled as their availability and flexibility match up with the scheduling opportuniti
es offered by NASA.
The schools and host organizations are:
* Arizona Science Center, Phoenix, AZ
* Bayou Academy, Cleveland, MS
* Bishop Oâ€ÖConnell High School, Arlington, VA
* Greenville Junior High School, Greenville, IL
* Hillsboro Charter Academy, Purcellville, VA
* Pacific Science Center, Seattle, WA
* Sally Ride Elementary School, Orlando, FL
* South Carolina Regional Workforce Advisors-Office of Statewide Workforce Development, Columbia, SC
* TEACH-NW Charter School, Springfield, OR
