ALT Close-up of a Kenwood handheld amateur radio (model TH‑D75) displaying APRS information. The screen shows a station list entry “RS0ISS” with date “02/26,” and text referencing “ARISS—International Space Station,” along with a compass indicator and distance reading. The radio’s keypad and control buttons are visible below the display. To the right, a dark blue information panel with gold accents presents text about APRS operating on 70 cm. The heading reads “APRS: 70 CM Plans,” followed by “Service Module Packet radio will operate on 437.825 MHz.” Additional text states that APRS will remain on 70 cm through at least the end of 2026. A section titled “APRS Info” lists settings: include “ARISS” in the path field, call sign “RSØISS,” mode “FM, 1200 BPS,” beacon approximately once per minute, and recommended transmit power of 5 watts or less using a Yagi antenna. The ARISS circular logo appears in the lower right corner.

ALT Earthset captured through the Orion spacecraft window at 6:41 p.m. EDT, April 6, 2026, during the Artemis II crew’s flyby of the Moon. A muted blue Earth with bright white clouds sets behind the cratered lunar surface. The dark portion of Earth is experiencing nighttime. On Earth’s day side, swirling clouds are visible over the Australia and Oceania region. In the foreground, Ohm crater has terraced edges and a flat floor interrupted by central peaks—formed when the surface rebounded upward during the impact that created the crater. Image Credit: NASA
