I talked to a friend who is familiar with packet operations on the ISS. He said it is mostly done with APRS messages. Short and sweet since there’s not a lot of time during a pass. He said the ISS also has a BBS, but there’s only about 10 minutes to interact, the link is iffy, and if others are trying to use APRS, then BBS messages are discouraged.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>He suggested UISS.
