Proposal deadlines listed are Sept. 30 for U.S. applications and Oct. 23 for Europe, Africa, and Middle East applications. ARISS logo appears in the lower right corner.
ALT Europe, Middle East, and Africa. A blue-toned map highlights Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Text explains that applications are managed through ARISS-Europe using a semi-annual proposal process. Proposals received by October 23, 2026, will be considered for contacts scheduled July through December 2027. Additional information is available at ARISS-EU.org. ARISS logo at bottom.
ALT Asia-Pacific. A map of East Asia and the Pacific region highlights Japan in red. Text states that organizations in Japan, Asia, and the Pacific region may apply at any time through ARISS-Japan for STEM education contacts with International Space Station crew members. Additional information is available at ARISS.org. ARISS logo at bottom.
ALT A map of North America highlights the United States in gold. Text explains that U.S. organizations apply through the quarterly ARISS-USA proposal process. Proposals received by September 30, 2026, will be considered for contacts scheduled January through June 2027. Additional information is available at ARISS-USA.org. ARISS logo at bottom.
ALT Graphic announcing an ARISS radio outage update. The left side shows a NASA image of a spacewalker outside the International Space Station performing work near a ham radio antenna, with Earth visible in the background. The right side contains outage information on a dark blue background. Text states that the Columbus Module Radio cross-band voice repeater and Service Module Radio APRS Packet/SSTV will be offline beginning Monday, August 17, 2026, at 14:00 UTC (10:00 AM ET) and back online Wednesday, August 19, 2026, at 13:35 UTC (9:35 AM ET). HamTV is not expected to be impacted. A note explains that times are approximate and dependent on other spaceflight activities. The ARISS logo appears in the lower right corner.
