NASA MSFC Engineering Directorate Mission Operations Laboratory MSFC Page 2 ISS Ham Planning ISS Ham consists of scheduled Ham radio contacts, or passes, with schools and other educational functions or PAO events. The actual Ham Radio AOS/LOS is about 10 minutes for each contact. Each pass will have a Ham Radio AOS Rise time corresponding to a location on the Earth, which may vary based on the ISS Orbit variations. Radios are located in the Service Module and the Columbus Module. Example activities shown here illustrate the models used by the Mission Planning Team to schedule operations. PPM will schedule ISS-HAM RADIO-P/D for power down prior to: Russian Operations Segment Docking and Undocking; any EVA activities on both Operations Segments. 1 Schedule 5 minutes prior to “Contact” time. ² Scheduled at crew discretion. Radio auto-repeats received transmissions 1 Russian Segment Docking/Undocking events & all EVAs : 10 ISS HAM-RADIOS-P/D 1 ISS HAM-RADIOS-P/U As needed Operations 1 : 10 ISS HAM-RESOURCES

NASA MSFC Engineering Directorate Mission Operations Laboratory MSFC Page 4 ISS Ham Planning (E-3 weeks)  ISS Ham PD submits the 3-week Ham Contact look-ahead schedule, containing a list of schools and multiple scheduling options per week, by to PPM. For Ham Contacts requiring specific scheduling, the ISS Ham PD will submit the specific scheduling information and rationale which will be handed over to TCO on the STP handover sheet.  FCOH: ISS Ham PD enters all contact info including Ground Ham Radio AOS/LOS times into the Ham Contact Radio Log. TOPO will update Ham Contact AOS/LOS times based on improved approximations of the ISS Orbit every M-W-F. Scheduled contacts will appear BOLD in the Ham Radio Log.
