ALT Infographic titled 'ARISS beyond the ISS' with subtitle 'When all else fails: ham radio is ready!' It shows a photo of the ARISS Interoperable Radio System (IORS) ground spare hardware setup, including a Kenwood radio (displaying CH 201/CH 202), antennas, cables, power supplies, and connectors on a table at an event. Main text explains that commercial space station builders are interested in ham radio as a tried-and-true backup communications method for new facilities. ARISS can provide: flight-certified hardware, proven outreach practices (engaging more than 40,000 youth each year), a morale booster for crews, and space-based learning experiences. It notes active discussions on future partnerships. Bottom features the ARISS logo with 'Amateur Radio on the International Space Station'

ALT Infographic titled 'ARISS beyond the ISS' with subtitle 'AREX teams will track ARTEMIS II mission telemetry.' It features a large photo of NASA's Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) rocket with Orion spacecraft on the launch pad during rollout in February 2026, showing the tall orange-and-white rocket stacked vertically on the mobile launcher, surrounded by the launch tower structure at Kennedy Space Center, with a person in a high-visibility vest nearby on the ground. Main text explains that NASA's Artemis II mission offers ARISS and AMSAT teams an opportunity to participate again in human spaceflight activities. AREX is a joint ARISS-AMSAT project to develop radio systems and payloads for Moon and Mars missions. First steps involve collaborating with NASA SCaN to demonstrate passive tracking of the upcoming lunar mission. It notes NASA SCaN as an ARISS sponsor. Bottom includes the ARISS logo with 'Amateur Radio on the International Space Station' and an Artemis graphic overlay.

ALT Graphic promoting audience engagement with ARISS. On the left, a NASA photo shows an astronaut aboard the International Space Station using amateur radio equipment inside the Columbus module, surrounded by cables, equipment racks, mission patches, and station hardware. On the right, a dark blue panel contains the text: “If you could talk to an astronaut... What would you ask someone living and working aboard the International Space Station? Students participating in ARISS contacts ask astronauts questions ranging from daily life in space to science, technology, and future exploration. Share your question in the comments!” A caption at the bottom credits the image as a NASA photo of ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet using amateur radio in the ISS Columbus Module in 2021. The ARISS logo appears in the lower-right corner.

ALT Graphic announcing an upcoming ARISS HamTV outage. The left side shows a close-up NASA photo of blue electronic communications equipment with switches, connectors, and status lights. The right side contains text on a dark blue background. Headline: “ARISS Outage Upcoming.” Subheading: “Ham TV off for onboard ISS experiments.” The graphic explains that to support activities of non-ARISS payloads, HamTV will go offline for a few days. Scheduled shutdown information: Off Monday, Sept. 14 at 10:35 UTC (6:35 a.m. ET). On Wednesday, Sept. 23 at 17:10 UTC (1:10 p.m. ET). A note states that all times are approximate and dependent on other spaceflight activities. The ARISS logo appears in the lower-right corner. Small caption at bottom: “2026: Progress 94 cargo spacecraft approaches the ISS. NASA photo.”

ALT Graphic announcing ARISS outages related to ISS operations. Left side shows the Progress 94 cargo spacecraft approaching the International Space Station against the blackness of space. Right side contains outage information on a dark blue background. Cross-band Voice and Packet (APRS) radio systems will be off for Progress docking activity from Sept. 18 at 15:20 UTC (11:20 a.m. ET) until Sept. 19 at 16:55 UTC (12:55 p.m. ET). HamTV will be unavailable due to extended payload work from Sept. 14 at 10:35 UTC (6:35 a.m. ET) until Sept. 23 at 17:10 UTC (1:10 p.m. ET). ARISS logo appears in the lower-right corner. NASA photo credit notes Progress 94 approaching the ISS.

ALT Educational ARISS graphic about listening for unscheduled amateur radio contacts with International Space Station crew members. The left side shows a NASA photo of a crew member inside the ISS holding a handheld radio microphone in a module filled with cables, equipment, and panels. The right side contains text explaining that some crew members use ham radio during free time, typically in the evenings (1830-1930 UTC) and on weekends. It notes these casual contacts are unscheduled and may be heard on the ISS voice repeater at 437.800 MHz downlink and 145.990 MHz uplink with CTCSS 67 Hz. The graphic advises listeners not to call for the crew and to simply listen if a contact is underway. The ARISS logo appears in the lower-right corner.

ALT Graphic announcing a temporary ARISS HamTV outage. The left side shows a close-up NASA photo of blue electronic equipment with switches, connectors, and indicator lights used in the HamTV system aboard the International Space Station. The right side contains text on a dark blue background stating that HamTV will be offline for a few days to support non-ARISS payload activities. Scheduled shutdown: off Monday, September 14 at 10:35 UTC (6:35 AM ET) and back on Thursday, September 18 at 11:40 UTC (7:40 AM ET). A note states that all times are approximate and dependent on other spaceflight activities. The ARISS logo appears in the lower right corner. Photo credit: NASA.

ALT Graphic titled “You Asked: Doppler Shift” with the question, “What do I need to know about Doppler Shift to improve my contacts with the ISS?” A photo shows an Icom IC-9700 amateur radio transceiver displaying a received frequency near 437.794 MHz, with additional radio equipment above it. Text explains that as the International Space Station moves across the sky, its radio signals experience an apparent frequency change called Doppler shift. An example notes that a 437.800 MHz signal may vary by about ±9 kHz during a pass, and adjusting for the shift improves reception. Additional text references AMSAT-UK.org resources for beginners using FM satellites. A caption below the photo notes that some radios provide frequency tracking to help monitor Doppler shift during an ISS contact and that the image shows a radio used by an ARISS team member. The ARISS logo appears in the lower-right corner.
