Second amateur radio station to be activated on ISS

The original VHF and UHF Ericsson handheld radios in the Russian segment of the ISS, originally used for ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station), have been approved by NASA for use in the US segment of the space station.




When the Ericsson radios are installed in the Columbus module it will become the second Amateur Radio station aboard the ISS (bilden). A new power cable for the Ericsson radios is being delivered to the ISS.
