The International Space Station (ISS) is a research facility that is being built in low orbit around the Earth. A crew of at least three lives on the space station at all times. Originally, the astronauts and scientists from various countries are pulled to man the space station. Some ISS crew members make random, unscheduled, amateur radio voice contacts with earth-bound radio amateurs, often called "hams". The crew's usual waking period is 07:30 - 19:30 UTC. The most common times to find a crew member making casual periods are about one hour after waking and before sleeping, when they have personal time. They're usually free most of the weekend, as well.
