ARISS received new Fram2 spacecraft trajectory data today and TLEs derived from this data matched the current Space-Track TLE exactly. This Two Line Element (TLE) data is available on the ARISS website at ariss-usa.org/keps.txt and at ariss.org/keps.html.

Next Fram2Ham (fram2) SSTV operations are expected to occur during today’s evening passes (April 2) over the USA and Canada. Some of these opportunities are be subject to change, based on crew research activities, radio availability or radio battery life.

Our ARISS International Chair said "This is a first for Human Spaceflight amateur radio!"

ARISS team reports Fram2Ham transmissions active during a pass over Atlanta around 0155 UTC / 9:55 PM local. Thanks to everyone for holding their images from social media so far! You all have been amazing in support of this STEM ham radio event!

We’re continuing to work on this great Fram2Ham (fram2) experiment.  Here’s the latest update from the ARISS team:

A Fram2Ham SSTV update from @Ariss_chair earlier today: Recent changes in the crew's sleep schedule means that the US/Canada pass planned for later tonight will not occur. We apologize for this change and hope you understand that space operations are always dynamic in nature.

Other events are still expected. We will continue to provide operations updates as we get them.

Welcome back to Earth Rabea (Rabea Rogge) and the other Fram2 team members. (fram2). We’re taking SSTV image captures over the weekend.  Submit yours at ariss-usa.org/ARISS_SSTV/. Continue to hold your images from SSTV for the next few days. Watch for an all-clear next week.

Didn't get enough SSTV this week? ARISS International Chair just announced there's more to come next weekend: For Cosmonautics Day (April 12) ARISS will be conducting an SSTV event. Starts 11-Apr & runs through the weekend. Acquire 12 PD-120 images on the 145.80 MHz downlink from ISS.

CubeSat Developer's Workshop 2025 kicks off with Mike Moore K4MVM Fox-Plus Systems Engineer and myself in attendance!

Both the ARISS crossband voice repeater and the packet radio (APRS) appear to be off-line. The appropriate ops teams are aware and investigating.

The crowd at amsat.org/status is reporting the crossband voice repeater is back online. Listen to the repeater on 437.800 MHz (+/- Doppler Shift). Use 145.990 MHz (PL 67 Hz) for your uplink.
