If you're attending #ASTC2026 in Phoenix, stop by Booth 708 to meet the ARISS team! Learn how students can talk directly with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and discover additional ARISS STEM education opportunities. We hope to see you there! https://t.co/NNif
Graphic with a dark blue starfield background. On the left is the colorful ASTC 2026 conference logo featuring a large stylized number 7 and the text “ASTC 2026,” “Association of Science and Technology Centers,” “Phoenix,” and “Sept. 16-19.” On the right, white and gold text reads: “See ARISS at ASTC, The Association of Science and Technology Centers Conference.” Additional text states that ARISS team members are in Phoenix this week connecting with science engagement professionals and invites attendees to visit booth 708 to learn about arranging an amateur radio contact with International Space Station crew members and other STEM programs. The ARISS logo appears in the lower-right corner.

@ARISS_Intl How much of a typical week goes to maintenance and repairs vs running experiments? Would love to know what the real workload split looks like 🛰️ 21 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

@ARISS_Intl I know crew members like @astro_Pettit spend a lot of their free time on astro photography. Based on that, I'd want to know, "What are you seeing looking down at Earth that we can't see from here, and what role does astrophotography play?" 42 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

If you had the chance to talk directly with an astronaut aboard the International Space Station, what would you ask? Would you want to know about life in microgravity, scientific research, technology on the ISS, views of Earth from orbit, or something else entirely? Drop your h
Graphic promoting audience engagement with ARISS. On the left, a NASA photo shows an astronaut aboard the International Space Station using amateur radio equipment inside the Columbus module, surrounded by cables, equipment racks, mission patches, and station hardware. On the right, a dark blue panel contains the text: “If you could talk to an astronaut... What would you ask someone living and working aboard the International Space Station? Students participating in ARISS contacts ask astronauts questions ranging from daily life in space to science, technology, and future exploration. Share your question in the comments!” A caption at the bottom credits the image as a NASA photo of ESA astronaut Thomas Pesquet using amateur radio in the ISS Columbus Module in 2021. The ARISS logo appears in the lower-right corner.

@ARISS_Intl We are lucky to be alive during such times with an orbiting space station that's not a secret project or somehow out of contact. Definitely experiencing the golden era of manned space flight. 31 views · 1 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies Open on X →

ARISS is plotting a course to continue our mission in the government and commercial space realm beyond the targeted decommissioning of the ISS in the 2030 timeframe. Read more about our activities in these infographics, and in a blog post at https://t.co/3qWDjq195T. https://t.co
Infographic from ARISS showing the future of ham radio beyond the ISS: Rabea Rogge on Fram2 mission (top selfie, April 2025) transmitting SSTV from polar orbit, and Axiom Mission 4 crew (bottom) conducting STEM contacts. Text highlights ARISS expanding to commercial space vehicles like SpaceX Dragon and Axiom missions.
Infographic titled 'ARISS beyond the ISS' with subtitle 'When all else fails: ham radio is ready!' It shows a photo of the ARISS Interoperable Radio System (IORS) ground spare hardware setup, including a Kenwood radio (displaying CH 201/CH 202), antennas, cables, power supplies, and connectors on a table at an event. Main text explains that commercial space station builders are interested in ham radio as a tried-and-true backup communications method for new facilities. ARISS can provide: flight-certified hardware, proven outreach practices (engaging more than 40,000 youth each year), a morale booster for crews, and space-based learning experiences. It notes active discussions on future partnerships. Bottom features the ARISS logo with 'Amateur Radio on the International Space Station'
Infographic titled 'ARISS beyond the ISS' with subtitle 'AREX teams will track ARTEMIS II mission telemetry.' It features a large photo of NASA's Artemis II SLS (Space Launch System) rocket with Orion spacecraft on the launch pad during rollout in February 2026, showing the tall orange-and-white rocket stacked vertically on the mobile launcher, surrounded by the launch tower structure at Kennedy Space Center, with a person in a high-visibility vest nearby on the ground. Main text explains that NASA's Artemis II mission offers ARISS and AMSAT teams an opportunity to participate again in human spaceflight activities. AREX is a joint ARISS-AMSAT project to develop radio systems and payloads for Moon and Mars missions. First steps involve collaborating with NASA SCaN to demonstrate passive tracking of the upcoming lunar mission. It notes NASA SCaN as an ARISS sponsor. Bottom includes the ARISS logo with 'Amateur Radio on the International Space Station' and an Artemis graphic overlay.
