Where can I find out more information about Mirs amateur radio activities?
Here’s several worldwide web sites with information: http://www.phoenix.net/~mbordel/jscarc/ – the Johnson Space Center amateur radio club. Includes photographs of the Mir hardware, excellent background and historic information, and the only place I’ve seen which identifies where the Mir antenna is located on the core module! http://www.op.dlr.de/~df0vr/home.htm – the official web site for the German-Russian SAFEX experiment aboard Mir’s Priroda module. Also includes information on previous German space travelers and their use of amateur radio aboard both the shuttle and Mir. http://www.grove.net/specfeat2.html – Satellite Times magazine. An excellent magazine if I may say so, especially since they publish this FAQ author’s professional articles. But this particular URL is for John Magliacane’s description of Mir’s amateur radio activities.
