On Feb. 21, ARISS-US will begin accepting proposals from U.S. schools, museums, and community youth organizations (working individually or together) to make contact via amateur radio with an astronaut aboard the International Space Station between Jan. 1 and June 30, 2023. To maximize reach, ARISS-US is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and integrate the contact event into a well-developed STEM education plan. Radio contacts last for approximately 10 minutes. The proposal window opens on Feb. 21 and will close on March 31. Visit the site for proposal guidelines and forms.
