ARLS025 Shuttle returns hams
The Space Shuttle Atlantis touched down at the Kennedy Space Center
in Florida on November 20, 1995 at 1701 UTC. Its return to Earth
concludes Amateur Radio activities for this shuttle mission, and
follows a successful docking with the Russian Mir Space Station.
Throughout the mission, the entire Amateur Radio-licensed crew
delighted hams around the world with 2-meter FM voice contacts from
Earth orbit.
Amateur Radio activities will again be conducted from Atlantis
during mission STS-76, scheduled for launch in March 1996.
For more information about the Shuttle Amateur Radio EXperiment, or
SAREX, telephone the ARRL Educational Activities Department at (860)
594-0301 or email sarex@arrl.org. SAREX is sponsored by ARRL, the
Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), and NASA.
