To get past 1,700 STEM contacts with the ISS for students, it takes someone on the inside at NASA. Our person on the inside has been Kenneth, N5VHO (and @RF2Space here). We wish him nothing but the best in retirement when he departs later this year. 73 to N5VHO!
A celebratory image featuring Kenneth Ransom, an ARISS team member at NASA Houston, who is retiring after over 20 years. Kenneth, with the call sign N5VHO, is pictured with Nichole Stott (formerly KE5GJN) at the 40th Anniversary of Amateur Radio in Human Spaceflight event in 2024. During the event, he hosted a live contact with the International Space Station for students in the audience. The image shows Kenneth in a green polo shirt and Nichole in a blue flight jacket with NASA patches, standing in a room with a purple backdrop and other attendees. Text on the image highlights Kenneth's role as a bridge between ARISS and International Space Station activities at Johnson Space Center, his work in scheduling, and his achievements, including the VUCC award #132. The ARISS logo is also visible. (ARISS/N4BFR Photo)

I have officially handed over my duties related to amateur radio on the ISS. I will still be serving as a part time advisor until the end of May 2025. I will no longer have real-time insight to daily operations after that time. It has be a great 20+ years supporting!

FUNcube, the low Earth polar orbiting CUBE Satellite, celebrates its 11th birthday today! Built by @AmsatUK and launched 11 years ago, it: ✔️Orbits the Earth at a height of 600km ✔️Travels at 27,360kph ✔️Takes just 96mins to complete a full orbit ✔️will have completed more than 59,400 orbits ✔️transmits real-time space data and provides excellent #STEM learning opportunities RSGB National Radio Centre volunteer Brian, G4BIP, brought in a birthday cake to celebrate the occasion and to share with volunteers and visitors. Brian is also one of the team involved with looking after the FUNcube. #amateurradio #hamr #FUNcube

Contacting the @Space_Station via amateur radio can inspire students to explore areas in STEM. Astronauts have answered questions from students on every continent! Earlier this month, @Astro_Suni talked with girls from the Girlguiding organization in the United Kingdom.
iss072e013206 (Oct. 5, 2024) --- NASA astronaut and Expedition 72 Commander Suni Williams calls down to students in Shepperton, United Kingdom, on the International Space Station's ham radio and answers their questions about living in space.

Today was my first radio contact of Expedition 72. It’s been 5 years since the last photo, and while a few things have changed (more gray hair and glasses), what hasn’t changed is how much I enjoy getting to answer questions from students all over the world using the station’s ham radio!
