ARISS has released a new video promoting amateur radio on the International Space Station (ISS). Produced by NASA, the video features astronaut Nichole Ayers (KJ5GWI) aboard the ISS explaining how amateur radio plays a part in school contacts with astronauts on the ISS. Ayers explains many of the procedures and technical challenges that amateur radio operators must address during a school contact.
[I]t’s a true privilege for me to be able to inspire the new generation of scientists and engineers through amateur radio. —Astronaut Nichole Ayers (KJ5GWI)
