ARISS Telebridge A new style radio contact via AB1OC
The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program provides an incredible opportunity for students and ham radio enthusiasts to communicate with astronauts onboard the International Space Station (ISS) using radio waves. Recently, ARISS has introduced a new style of radio contact known as Telebridge, and it is revolutionizing the way we connect with the ISS. Telebridge is a type of radio contact that involves connecting with the ISS via a ground station located in a different country than where the students are located. For instance, a school in the United States might connect with the ISS via a ground station in Italy. This approach allows students to speak with the astronauts at times when the ISS is not directly overhead their location. One of the most notable benefits of the Telebridge approach is that it enables contact during unfavorable weather conditions, such as during a hurricane or other natural disasters that might prevent the direct contact of the ISS wit
