Sabato 12 marzo ci sono stati tre contatti ARISS, due di Paolo Nespoli con scuole di Modugno (BA) e uno di Cady Coleman con una scuola indiana. Quest’ultimo è stato operato in telebridge da IK1SLD di Casale Monferrato, e quindi lo ho ricevuto bene da Torino. L’audio ricevuto dalla ISS è in www.spinelectronics.eu/ftp/ISS_2011_03_12.rar
La qualità audio non è perfetta, la stazione operava in automatico ed ho avuto qualche problema di interferenze e di PC.
Questi i comunicati ARISS relativi ai due collegamenti. Prima Modugno:
