Un contact radioamateur est prévu le 18/07/2023 vers 18H42 UTC (20H42 heure de Paris).

Il aura lieu entre l’astronaute Steve Bowen (KI5BKB) et le Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, Canada.

Le contact sera en télébridge sur 145.800 MHz (+/-3 KHz de doppler) en FM étroite.
Il sera conduit par une station italienne (IK1SLD) et donc audible depuis la France.

Le contact sera conduit en anglais.
