The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program is seeking
formal and informal educational institutions and organizations, either
individually or working together, to host an amateur radio contact with a crew
member on board the International Space Station (ISS).

ARISS anticipates the contact will be held between January 1, 2024, and June
30, 2024. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits will determine the exact contact
dates. To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for
organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and integrate the
radio contact into a well-developed education plan.

The deadline to submit a proposal is March 31, 2023. Proposal information and
more details, such as expectations, proposal guidelines, and the proposal form,
can be found at https://www.ariss.org/apply-to-host-an-ariss-contact.html.[1]

An ARISS introductory webinar will be held March 1, 2023, at 8:00 PM EST. The
