Working the ISS using APRS/Packet is different than working through
normal APRS/Packet.
The following will help you get work APRS/Packet using the ISS. Please read the articles before transmitting. As I
find articles and hints, they will be added to this page. Many thanks to
the AMSAT, SAREX and UI-View list users and maintainers for a lot
of this information.
Current ISS callsigns are
BBS - RS0ISS-11
Digi - ARISS
Packet Keyboard - RS0ISS-3 (currently unavailable)
Current info on ISS operations is available at:
http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/reference/radio/
Thanks to Kenneth G. Ransom - N5VHO, ISS Ham Radio Project Engineer for
the callsign and current info links!
