13 novembre 2020 — Il y a vingt ans aujourd’hui, l’équipage de l »Expedition-1 a allumé la radio ARISS Ericsson pour la première fois et a établi plusieurs contacts avec des stations au sol ARISS du monde entier pour valider le système de radiocommunications. Ces contacts inauguraux ont lancé un incroyable voyage opérationnel de deux décennies sur l’ISS, permettant à ARISS d’inspirer, d’engager et d’éduquer notre prochaine génération d’explorateurs et de fournir à la communauté des radioamateurs une plate-forme d’apprentissage et d’expérimentation tout au long de la vie.
