Presents the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program, a global educational initiative facilitating direct communication between students and astronauts via amateur radio. It outlines the operational framework for scheduled school contacts, detailing the technical requirements for ground stations and the typical Q&A format used during these events. The program utilizes VHF/UHF frequencies for voice and packet radio communications, enabling students to engage with crew members aboard the ISS. ARISS supports various educational objectives, promoting STEM fields through hands-on radio experience. The resource provides information on how schools can apply for contacts, the selection process, and preparation guidelines. It also covers the history of amateur radio in space, including past missions and the evolution of equipment used on the ISS. Regular updates on contact opportunities, operational status, and technical specifications for ARISS hardware are provided.

Over 1900 ARISS school events have been conducted since 2000, facilitating amateur radio contacts between students and ISS crew members. This resource details the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program, outlining scheduled contacts, operational procedures, and application processes for educational institutions worldwide. It lists specific upcoming contacts, such as those with Lewis Center for Educational Research in California and Vauban, Ecole et Lycée français de Luxembourg, typically operating on a 145.800 MHz downlink frequency. The content also provides crucial guidelines for radio amateurs, emphasizing the importance of not interfering with scheduled school contacts and utilizing the crossband repeater for general QSOs when available. It clarifies crew availability for casual contacts, noting that astronauts are usually free during personal time, approximately one hour after waking and one hour before sleeping, and often on weekends. Constraints on scheduling, such as avoiding EVA weeks and specific crew rest periods, are also detailed. Furthermore, the resource includes historical statistics on direct versus telebridge contacts, QSL information, and links to related ARISS, AMSAT, ARRL, and NASA websites. It also provides information on applying to host an ARISS contact for schools and youth organizations in various regions, including the United States, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Canada, Central and South America, Asia, and Australia.

Fram2, the first human spaceflight in polar orbit, launches spring 2025 aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9. Inspired by the polar exploration ship Fram, the mission highlights innovation and exploration. Four astronauts from Europe and Australia will orbit Earth for 3–5 days, including ham radio operator Rabea Rogge, who will transmit SSTV images for an educational competition. Open to students aged 16–25, the contest challenges teams to identify polar-related sites. Fram2 collaborates with ARISS to inspire STEAM learning through space communications.
