\"Dr.<\/a>A special highlight of this year\u2019s Symposium is the celebration of the 30th anniversary of amateur radio involvement in human space flight and the evolution of amateur radio into a successful program on board the International Space Station. ARISS (Amateur Radio on the ISS) is an international program that supports educational outreach as well as provides an opportunity for informal contacts between astronauts\/cosmonauts and amateur radio operators around the world.\u00a0 The recent delivery of \u201cHam TV\u201d equipment to the Columbus module by the European Space Agency is a reflection of the continued support that amateur radio holds for communicating with students.<\/p>\n

Astronaut\u00a0Owen Garriott, W5LFL<\/a>\u00a0on STS-9 in November 1983 was the first astronaut to utilize amateur radio to communicate with personnel on the ground, allowing the general public to speak with US astronauts from space, outside the communication channels of NASA\u2019s Mission Control.<\/p>\n
