MHz.\u00a0 Shortly after radio startup, APRS signals were heard in California, Utah, and Idaho as the ISS passed along the USA West Coast.\u00a0 With confirmation from additional stations in South America and the Middle East, the ARISS team has declared the radio system again operational.<br \/>\n<a

ARISS to maintain school contact operations via the ARISS Service Module radio system.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ARISS Columbus Radio is back on-the-air!\u00a0
