kb0zuu – May 2, 2009 – 07:23

i have been reading the dauly time lines from nasa and was wondering who is what so far i have the following

( Commander )CDR= Commander Gennady I. Padalka

( Flight Eng- 1)FE-1= Not sure

( Flight Eng-2 )FE-2 = Not sure

Also i looked at the timelines for May 2nd and saw "ham radio setup, Ham radio session " for 15:20-15:35 utc and that puts iss just off the west coast of USA... are they doing comm checks there for the VHF 143 mhz or just to get a little help form the ground to set the radio up in a Mode?? Just curious..

( Commander )CDR= Commander Gennady I. Padalka

( Flight Eng- 1)FE-1= Mike Barratt

( Flight Eng-2 )FE-2 = Koichi Wakata

Only reason I found that info is Barratt has been doing a sleep study on CDR and FE-2 and the timeline shows FE-1 doing that study each morning. NASA makes mention of Barratt doing this study also.

Well, to answer your last question read the "space day" news item on the front page http://www.issfanclub.com/
and you'll see;

"An Expedition 19 ARISS contact has been planned with participants at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, Space Day, Washington, DC on 02 May. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 1523 UTC. "

Let's hope they manage to leave the radio in a working mode after it's finished.
