Terrible News. After 30+ years of continual faithful service my @Timex Ironman Triathlon has died. Thought it just needed its usual 5+ year battery change but a transistor fell out. I have worn it just about every day of those 30+ years so it feels like losing a close friend.

Well worn, but well worn! May your successor finish the journey you started. @timex

Florida's #SpaceCoast where you can have a seafood dinner at Grills in @PortCanaveral with a @SpaceX Falcon9 launch for dessert!

Our ARISS fans have confirmed that the cross-band voice repeater is back online after the Soyuz docking. We have not had confirmation that the packet radio is back online. Share if you hear it!

What does a ham radio antenna look like on the International Space Station? Here's a peek at part of the gear that helps keep us running in space.

We're looking back to our SAREX roots today. In 1993 STS-57 flew with two hams onboard the Shuttle Endeavour. Then President Clinton took note of the activities when he spoke to the crew in-flight.

On this day in 1983, Sally Ride launched aboard Space Shuttle Challenger on STS‑7, becoming the first American woman to fly in space. Beyond this historic milestone, Dr. Ride's passion for inspiring young people to explore science and math is part of her lasting legacy.

One year ago today, we cut the ribbon on the renovated Sands Space History Center, celebrating 75 years of launch from Cape Canaveral. Funded through a generous donation from Jared Isaacman via the U.S. Space Force Historical Foundation. @ccspacemuseum

On this day in 1991, my photopolarimeter subsystem (PPS) was turned off due to degraded performance, saving 2.4 W of power. The PPS was used to measure surface texture and composition, particle size distribution and composition in ring systems, and to study scattering and density of atmospheres. The PPS was a 15 cm telescope with three polarizing filters as well as eight color filters, followed by a photomultiplier tube to amplify the dim conditions. Voyager 1's photomultiplier tube failed in November 1979 after the Jupiter encounter, and so the V1 PPS was never used again. All other Voyager PPS data therefore comes from Voyager 2. Forty filter combinations were used in 24 second sequences using 400 ms exposures and 200 ms filter change timings. These filter sequences allowed amounts and states of Na, H, He, Ca, CO, O, Mg, Si, K, and CH3 to be derived, as well as scale heights in atmospheres.
