What Hams Do: Amateur Radio in Space – YouTube Premiere on June 6, at 8:00 PM ET
Right this second there’s an Amateur Radio Operator on board the International Space Station – an astronaut just a few feet from one of two permanent ham radio stations on the ISS. Hams have been transmitting from outer space since 1983. Learn the past, present and future of Amateur Radio in Space as guests from ARISS the Amateur Radio organization that arranges educational contacts between schools and the ISS and AMSAT the Radio Amateur Satellite Corp tell us where we are and most importantly where in space we’re taking Amateur Radio. Watch how kids the world over talk to Astronaut hams and learn about space, radio transmissions and more. If you’re interested in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, or know someone who is, you won’t want to miss this show.
