That was the most challenging solo ever.

On this day that young man was the first human to fly in space, orbiting Earth once, ejecting to land under parachute, near where his spaceship bounced to a stop. Yuri Gagarin, I salute your pioneering bravery.

Fram2Ham: SSTV Image Handling
The Fram2Ham SSTV transmissions are part of a STEM contest. Here’s how to handle your images:
Do: Upload captures to ariss-usa.org/ARISS_SSTV ASAP. They’ll stay private until the mission ends.
Don’t: Post to social media until we give the all-clear.
The image includes a "FRAM2" logo with five figures in white suits, a snowy landscape with a puzzle overlay, and an ARISS/ISS logo, set against a grid background.

Expect Fram2Ham SSTV transmissions to start later today, so be ready to monitor your passes.

Please remember you’re listening in on a STEM contest for students.

Share your images to the ARISS image gallery, but please don’t share them on social media until after the event!

Opened declassified USSF docs to figure out how they predict satellite orbits. Found FORTRAN code. Classic.

Кстати нет, всегда объясняю, но это скорее преподавательский рефлекс.

New club, new airport, new instructor, new glider.

FRAM2 HAM: ISS Simulation. The ISS will hold a special 70cm SSTV event leading up to the FRAM2Ham mission. Event Overview: ISS Transmissions Feb. 13-17, Start/End times to be announced. Output: 437.550 MHz at 5 Watts, A 70 CM frequency will also be used during the FRAM2Ham event. 5 watts will simulate power levels and unknowns of a new radio system on Dragon. Mode: PD120, Intentionally longer than the FRAM2Ham Robot36 transmissions to allow for signal polarization switching skills and Doppler correction practice. Find more info at ARISS.org. Image includes logos for FRAM2, ARISS ISS Amateur Radio, and a puzzle piece graphic.

Our Fram2Ham pioneers need to be prepared and proficient. Are you up for the challenge?

Gear up for a practice session Feb 13-17 via the ISS.

Neil Armstrong loved glider flights, and so do I. When I’m soaring, I feel a bit like a spaceship pilot – thrown up high, falling back to the planet, with just one shot to land.

Graduating as a glider pilot comes with the inability to rent a glider anymore. Mixed feelings…
