The US Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS[1]) team will
host the ARISS-International "face-to-face" summit in the Houston, Texas, area
this fall. A highlight of the November 15-18 gathering will be a tour of NASA
Johnson Space Center (JSC) - across the street from the meeting site at the ISS
Conference Facility, 1800 Space Park Drive, Nassau Bay, Texas. Members of the
public may attend as observers.
The ARISS-International meeting follows on the heels of the AMSAT[2] Space
Symposium, and ARISS has encouraged Symposium participants to stay for the
ARISS-International meeting.
The ARISS-International summit coincides with the 20th anniversary of the ARISS
program; the first international ARISS meeting took place at NASA JSC in
November 1996, and ARISS will commemorate its 2 decades of success at this
year's summit.
This year's meeting will focus on the ARISS hardware development project and
future initiatives, sustaining the ARISS program through strategic partnerships
and fundraising, and improving educational outcomes.
Anyone interested in attending the ARISS-International meeting November 15-18
may contact Rosalie White[3], K1STO, or ARISS-International Chair Frank
Bauer[4], KA3HDO. - Thanks to ARISS
