ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the
volunteer support and leadership from AMSAT and IARU societies around the
world with the ISS space agencies partners: NASA, Russian Space Agency,
ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA.

ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of
Amateur Radio by talking directly with crew members on-board the
International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first
hand, how Amateur Radio and crew members on ISS can energize youngsters’
interest in science, technology, and learning.
