There is a near overhead pass of International Space Station tomorrow at around 12.15 pm IST. That corresponds to 6.45 am UTC, usually a waking up time for astronauts on the Space Station who follow a UTC schedule, though the Sun &#8220;rises and sets&#8221; about 16 times on a usual Earth day, at the Space Station! You are aware that Indian origin astronaut Sunita L Williams KD5PLB is there on the Space Station and has been having unscheduled contacts with amateur radio operators on the Earth during her current stay at the Space Station. If you are lucky you will be able to hear her during the mid-day pass of Space Station. I am planning to be QRV and also tune in using the VU3ZNG OpenWeb RX with the link: <a href=\"http:\/\/125.99.242.56:8073\/#freq=437800000,mod=nfm,sql=-150\">http:\/\/125.99.242.56:8073\/#freq=437800000,mod=nfm,sql=-150<\/a> which will tune directly to the ARISS downlink frequency. Best of luck to all for a direct astronaut contact from NA1SS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tomorrow, the 23rd of August 2024, the nation is celebrating its first ever Indian National Space Day.
