ARISS school contact planned for 24th World Scout Jamboree, USA
International Space Station school contact has been planned for Drew Morgan KI5AAA with participants at 24th World Scout Jamboree, Summit Bechtel Scout Reserve, West Virginia, USA.
The event is planned Saturday July 27, 2019. It is scheduled to begin at approximately 18.27 UTC, which is 20.27 CEST.
The contact will be a telebridge operated by ON4ISS. The downlink signals will be audible in parts of Europe on 145.800 MHz
Event presentation
The 24th World Scout Jamboree is hosted by the North American team of Canada, Mexico, and USA. It is an event of the World Organization of the Scout Movement. 40,000 Scouts are expected to be in attendance from 160 countries. Scouts are ages 14 to 17, male and female, all races and nationalities. Official languages are English, French, and Spanish, but many other languages will be spoken at the event, reflecting the worldwide diversity of Scouting.
Amateur radio has been in operation at World Scout Jamborees since GB3SP in 1957 in the United Kingdom. From this effort grew Jamboree on the Air, now the largest annual Scouting event in the world with nearly 2 million Scouts participating. Subsequent World Jamborees provided amateur radio operations and most of the recent events also hosted an ARISS Contact. This track record demonstrates Scouting's ever present focus on science, technology, engineering, and math as well as the magic of making two-way contacts at a distance - even in space with an astronaut on the International Space Station.
The site of the World Scout Jamboree is the Summit Bechtel Scout Reserve in West Virginia, USA. This is also where the USA National Jamborees are held. Most recently Astronaut Luca Parmitano conducted an ARISS contact during the 2013 Jamboree. We send a special note to Astronaut Drew Morgan, an assistant Scoutmaster, for his encouragement during our proposal.
Questions:
1. What do you think is the most important thing you believe young people should do in Scouting to help them in their future careers such as being an astronaut or working in the sciences?
2. Here at the World Jamboree we like to trade items with scouts from around the world as a way to bond and remember our new friendships. Do you ever trade patches or parts of your uniforms with your international crew members?
3. What is the single prettiest place or region on Earth to see from space?
4. Do you bring something special with you so when you get back, so you can say, "This has been in space!"?
5. What food do you miss the most that you can't have in space?

ISS SSTV special memorial to honor Owen Garriott - W5LFL July 29 to August 4
Two SSTV events during July 29 - August 4.
Below is the scheduled (as of July 22) for the planned activation of SSTV from the ISS. The first session is the routine MAI-75 activity that is only active for a few orbits. It appears that the most of the world (except N. America) will get a shot during the two day run. Some lucky operators along the east coast of North America should get a pass on July 29.
The second event will be a world wide event running from August 1 through August 4 and will be a memorial event to honor Owen Garriott - W5LFL. He was the first person to operate amateur radio from space. We owe much to his efforts to bring the hobby to space for other operators. The schedule is below (as of July 22)
Inter-MAI-75 activity
(July 29) GMT 210/13:15 – SSTV activate
(July 29) GMT 210/21:25 – SSTV power down
(July 30) GMT 211/13:50 – SSTV power up
(July 30) GMT 211/19:30 – SSTV shutdown
ARISS Garriott memorial SSTV activity
(Aug 01) GMT 213/09:40 – SSTV activate
(Aug 02) GMT 214/14:00 – SSTV check
(Aug 04) GMT 216/18:15 – SSTV shutdown
