 All, 
 
 The ARISS team has a lot of exciting activities planned for the next few
 weeks, including the flight of Soyuz 17S to space station with Richard
 Garriott, W5KWQ and Mike Fincke, KE5AIT on-board. The following represents
 some new information and capabilities that we are rolling out to the
 community to prepare for Richard's and Mike's flight. Please go to
 http://www.ariss.org, http://www.amsat.org, http://www.arrl.org and http://www.issfanclub.com for
 real-time information updates.

 ARISS International Chairman 
 
 The ARISS SSTV team announces the new ARISS SSTV Web Gallery and Blog. 
 
 A website has been established to enable amateur radio operators to share
 their pictures received from the International Space Station's SSTV system.
 People wishing to view photos captured from the ISS or upload their own
 captured pictures can go to http://www.amsat.com/ARISS_SSTV/. There is also
 a blog in which the ARISS SSTV Team will post announcements and additional
 information about the project. The blog can be viewed at
 http://www.ariss-sstv.blogspot.com/.
 
 To prepare for the upcoming SSTV operations, you are welcome to "try out"
 the new Web Gallery by posting past SSTV images (on-orbit and terrestrial).
 These will be deleted prior to the ARISS SSTV events that are planned for
 this weekend and during ISS Expedition 17 and Richard Garriott's flight (see
 below).
 
 ISS SSTV Operations Planned for October 12 
 
 The ARISS team received word from ARISS Russia delegate Sergey Samburov,
 RV3DR, that the current ISS crew expect to transmit SSTV on October 12 from
 18:00-21:00 UTC. This is your opportunity to test out your SSTV reception
 capability and to post images on the ARISS SSTV Gallery. The planned
 downlink for this operation will be 145.80 MHz with Robot 36 as the expected
 SSTV mode of operation.
 
 AO-51 Special SSTV Mode 
 
 Thanks to Drew, KO4MA, AMSAT-NA VP for Operations, this weekend AO-51 will
 operate in a special mode in anticipation of Richard Garriott's visit to the
 ISS. Richard's launch is currently scheduled for October 12th, with docking
 at the ISS on the 14th. Richard plans on being very active from the ISS ham
 station, including extensive operation with Slow Scan Television (SSTV).
 
 In preparation for this event, AO-51 will be configured with dual repeaters
 for the weekend of October 11th and 12th. The primary repeater on AO-51 will
 be configured with an uplink on 1268.700 FM and downlink of 435.300 FM, and
 will be designated for this period as an SSTV repeater. Users are encouraged
 to exchange SSTV images in ROBOT 36 mode, as an opportunity for others to
 practice receiving SSTV images from space before the ISS activity. Please
 keep the images transmitted to space-related themes, and to the ROBOT 36
 mode. Polite and courteous operation among those sharing the uplink is
 crucial to the success of this mode.
 
 Concurrently, there will be a QRP voice repeater running on 145.880 FM
 uplink and 435.150 FM downlink. Users are asked to use 10 watts or less, and
 omnidirectional or handheld antennas only.
 
 Good luck receiving SSTV images this weekend, and from the ISS during
 Richard Garriott's flight. 
 
 Richard Garriott Operations 
 
 As stated previously, Richard plans to perform several school contacts and
 downlink SSTV images during his flight. He also plans to contact the
 general ham community in his free time and perform random scout contacts
 during Jamboree on the Air. SSTV downlinks are planned on 145.80. SSTV
 uplinks are not currently planned. The standard general contact frequencies
 will be used to support the Jamboree on the Air and general QSO passes. 
 
 So that you are not calling CQ for naught, Richard's school contacts, thanks
 to Will Marchant, KC6ROL, Charlie Sufana, AJ9N, and Sergey Samburov, RV3DR,
 are tentatively scheduled as follows:
