More May Da... First of May news. Teams are attempting to do a quick turn around and put together an SSTV event starting May 8 - that's next Friday. Here's what we know so far. Keep following for updates on the potential Series 32!

It's May D-- ... we better not say it just in case. It's also two weeks until @hamvention and we have a great year planned. Meet Axiom Mission 2 pilot John Shoffner at our forum, and get first chance at some ARISS 25th anniversary t-shirts at our booth!

@adnanesnoussi Was not aware that it is geo-blocked, but it is specifically for educators in the United States about that countries proposal process.

@ARISS_Intl I tried to join from Morocco, but the meeting is not accessible from here.

One hour until the webinar starts - direct Zoom link is: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regist…

@mm1ocd It does! Good catch.

@ARISS_Intl The white cable looks like the outline of a head & shoulders :-D

25 years ago this week Dennis Tito was the first "visitor" to the ISS. After the mission he said, "The part that stands out was my nightly conversations through a ham radio link to my family." Happy anniversary Dennis from your friends at ARISS! youtube.com/watch?v=mKAIL8…

US STEM groups - your organization could talk to the ISS crew LIVE via ham radio. Start your journey to space TONIGHT by getting in on our LIVE proposal webinar at 8E/5P. It all starts with a great educational focused proposal! ariss-usa.org/proposal-overv…

Interesting work by our friends at NASA SCaN.

Ops teams are reporting the cross-band voice repeater in the ISS Columbus Module is transmitting on 437.800 MHz FM (145.990 MHZ / CTCSS 67 Hz uplink) as expected after the outage. APRS is currently active on 145.825 MHz as additional testing takes place on the Service Module packet radio.

Looking at the ARISS week ahead, there's a STEM contact with Australia on Saturday. US STEM educators can learn about the contact proposal process on Thursday. The week starts with an outage for the Progress 95P mission.

ARISS radio outage upcoming. On Monday and Tuesday, the ARISS repeaters will go offline in support of the Progress 95P docking activity. Check the graphic for specific times.

We're looking forward to Luke Delaney, KJ5PPF, and Joshua Kutryk, KJ5BFU, getting their names in the ARISS ham radio logbook this fall!

ARISS wishes a happy birthday to our friends at @ChallengerCtr! Today marks the 40th anniversary of their founding! Created by the families of the fallen Challenger astronauts, this organization’s work continues their educational mission to inspire children across the country to explore their passion for STEM and look to the stars.

US STEM groups - your organization could talk to the ISS crew LIVE via ham radio. Join our webinar on Thursday, April 30 at 8E/5P to start your journey to space! ariss-usa.org/proposal-overv…

Today's contact with ASU Preparatory STEM Academy can be heard in the southwest US on 145.800 MHz FM. Watch the stream at live.ARISS.org.
