Activate your Online Access Now Article content Michael Andlauer was nestled, all snug in his bed. With visions of a second six-game winning streak and making the post-season dancing in his head. And, Steve Staios in his pyjamas and Travis Green in his cap, had just gotten in the wrapper to see if they could get in a little pre-game nap. When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter. Good ol’ Claude Giroux sprung from his bed to see if he might have to drop the gloves to deal with this matter. Away from the book stand Giroux flew like he was in a mad dash, he tore open the shutters and prepared to make a hit on the intruder with a hard smash. The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow gave the lustre of mid-day to hockey equipment below when, what to Giroux’s wondering eyes should appear, but a miniature sleigh and eight hard-working players. “Now Tkachuk! Now Chabot! Now Stutzle and Pinto! “On Sanderson! On Norris! On Batherson and On Zuuuuub!” So up to the house top the club’s core players they flew, With the sleigh full of toys, some new hockey gloves and a good old Santa Claus, too. And then, in a twinkling, Giroux heard on the roof the prancing and pawing of each little hoof. Sports Get the latest sport headlines and breaking news.

Article content As Giroux drew in his head and was turning around, down the chimney Santa came with a bound. His eyes — how they twinkled! His dimples how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry! His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, And the beard of his chin was as white as snow. He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf, and Giroux laughed when he saw him, in spite of himself. A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, soon let Giroux to know he had nothing to dread. Santa spoke not a word, but went straight to his work, to hand out some Christmas cheer to some of the Senators’ good sports: Recommended from Editorial Bah Humbug!

More sellouts and more support with the paperwork in place to formally begin the building of a downtown rink in 2025. Steve Staios: First and foremost, health and happiness for his family after his wife Susannah’s battle with cancer.

The 10th captain in the franchise’s history has the skills to pay the bills, isn’t afraid to get his nose dirty and is trying desperately to bring playoff hockey to Ottawa. Claude Giroux: The success he wanted to have when he signed with the Senators. He has made his impact, he has worked with the young players and has helped dramatically. Giroux came back because this is his hometown and a one-year extension also makes sense. Thomas Chabot: More offence from the club’s longtime defenceman with an eye towards suiting up for more games in the spring. It’s now or never for this group and Chabot has to be part of the push for the Senators to get to the next level. Jake Sanderson : A letter in the mail from Four Nations Face-off general manager Bill Guerin inviting him to play for Team USA in February if there’s an injury on the blueliner.

Bitcoin options trade shows more bets on retreat after failing to breach $100,000Donald Hand Jr. racked up a career-high 29 points and 10 rebounds to help Boston College stave off visiting Fairleigh Dickinson 78-70 on Saturday in Chestnut Hill, Mass. Chad Venning added 18 points on 8-for-10 shooting and Dion Brown contributed eight points, eight rebounds and four assists as the Eagles (8-5) wrapped up their nonconference slate with just their second win in six games. Ahmed Barba-Bey, a grad transfer from Division II, exploded for a season-high 31 points to power FDU (4-11). Barba-Bey buried 8 of 9 attempts from the 3-point arc. Terrence Brown added 15 of his 20 points in the second half, as the Knights made it close before falling to 0-10 on the road this season. Bismark Nsiah scored 10 points. Boston College led 70-59 with 3:39 to play when Barba-Bey was fouled attempting a corner 3. He made all three of his foul shots, and after a stop Brown got to the bucket to cut FDU's deficit to six. It was 72-67 when Venning made a clutch turnaround jumper from the high post with 51 seconds left. Boston College let Barba-Bey get loose for his eighth 3-pointer, pulling FDU within four, its closest margin of the half. But Hand drove to the basket and scored with 29 seconds on the clock, and FDU was out of time. The Knights trailed by as many as 12 in the first half, but Barba-Bey kept them in the game. He made a fastbreak layup off Brown's steal and added a 3-pointer on the next possession, turning what was a 10-point deficit to a manageable 29-24 game. Boston College led 38-28 at halftime, with Hand scoring 15 for the hosts and Barba-Bey pouring in 16 for the Knights, including 4-of-5 shooting from deep. FDU pulled within nine points three times in the early stages of the second half, the third coming when Nsiah knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers to make it 56-47 with about 10 minutes to go. --Field Level Media

Boston College holds on down stretch to top Fairleigh DickinsonPrime Minister Anthony Albanese has thanked medical and emergency workers and defence force members who have given up their Christmas to help others. or signup to continue reading In his Christmas message, Mr Albanese said they do much to make this season of celebration and reflection possible. "I want to say thank you to our medical workers and emergency personnel, our charity and hospitality workers and those serving in the Australian Defence Force here and overseas - everyone who has given up their Christmas to help others in our community," he said on Tuesday. "I do want to wish everyone the very best and a peaceful and joyful Christmas." Mr Albanese plans to spend Christmas Day in Darwin, where commemorations are being held to mark 50 years since Cyclone Tracy devastated Australia's most northern capital. Meanwhile, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton celebrated Australian stoicism in the face of financial pressures in his Christmas message on Tuesday. "With everything costing more, many Australians had to make do with less," he said on Tuesday. "The struggle was acute for so many Australians, and it will be a hard Christmas for many. "I salute our charity workers, our food banks, and those feeding the poor and homeless who, although overstretched, are always outstanding in what they do." The Australian spirit shone through what was, for many, a difficult 2024. "Contending with financial pressures this year, Australians carried on with stoicism - as is the Australian way," Mr Dutton said. "I saw this commendable spirit first-hand across the country: talking to workers and small business owners; hard-hit farmers, fishermen, and manufacturers; and in families under financial pressure." He urged Australians to remember those facing hardship. "This Christmas, we spare a thought for those less fortunate and those doing it tough," he said. "Many of us will know individuals and families who really are struggling and where we can, we should reach out to those who might not be experiencing the spirit of Christmas." While many Australians may feel their burdens unbearable, the story of Christmas demonstrates that hope is ever-present, said Reverend Charissa Suli, President of the Uniting Church in Australia. "I hear stories of grief, fatigue, and isolation from communities across the country," Rev Suli said. "Our world is in conflict. It can feel like hope is not enough. "But the Christmas story speaks to these very struggles. Just like hope was born into poverty on that first Christmas, so is hope born into our broken world." Bishop Vincent Long, the Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Parramatta in Sydney's west, similarly implored Australians not to become despondent in the face of adversity, but to take heart in the message of Christmas. Mr Dutton concluded his message with an acknowledgement of previous generations of Australians for making it the country it is today. "We really are the custodians of their legacy," he said. "And may we ensure, as they did, that this nation is prosperous, secure, and united. "From my family to yours, I wish all Australians a very happy, relaxing, and safe Christmas."

Florida Shines Brightly in the New Trump Era

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts is in the NFL’s concussion protocol. His status for Sunday is uncertainThe Faces Behind ‘Made in Bangladesh’

President-elect Trump on Saturday accused Democrats of paying celebrities millions of dollars to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris – including MSNBC host Al Sharpton who he ripped as a “con artist.” “Are the Democrats allowed to pay $11,000,000, $2,000,000, and $500,000 to get the ENDORSEMENT of Beyoncé, Oprah, and Reverend Al?” Trump posted on his Truth Social platform. “I don’t think so! Beyoncé didn’t sing, Oprah didn’t do much of anything (she called it “expenses”), and Al is just a third rate Con Man. So what is going on here???” “Totally against the law, and I have heard there are many others!!!” he added. It’s unclear how Trump came up with the figures he posted. Both Beyoncé and Oprah Winfrey joined Harris on her failed presidential campaign trail. Sharpton, the civil rights leader who hosts MSNBC’s “Politics Nation,” interviewed Harris in October and also held a get-out-the-vote rally to boost the veep’s candidacy. Sharpton’s National Action Network nonprofit received $500,000 from Harris weeks before the interview, according to the Washington Free Beacon. MSNBC has said it has no knowledge of the donation, and reps for Sharpton didn’t immediately return messages Saturday. Winfrey has insisted she wasn’t “paid a dime” by Harris’ failed presidential campaign — saying her production company Harpo Productions netted $1 million for its work on the star-studded “Unite for America” virtual-town-hall event in September. Harris’ campaign paid Beyoncé’s production company Parkwood Production Media $165,000 in November – a month after both women appeared at an event in Beyoncé’s hometown of Houston, according to multiple reports.Who truly has Beijing’s ear when it comes to economic policymaking? As China navigates a period of profound economic challenges, this question has taken on new urgency. While outsiders often perceive China’s economic policies as dictated in a top-down, insulated manner, the reality is more nuanced. Policy-making in Beijing frequently involves regular engagement with trusted experts through roundtables, study sessions, and advisory committees. The voices shaping economic strategy extend beyond the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s inner circle to include a select “brain trust” of economists whose ideas inform and influence key decisions. To understand China’s policy direction, it is crucial to identify this brain trust. Our project does just that by analyzing the perspectives of economists who have become integral to the policymaking process. These figures include chief economists at major financial institutions, respected academics, and former officials with deep experience in economic governance. By examining their insights, we aim to uncover where their views align, where they diverge, and what these dynamics reveal about China’s economic challenges and priorities. We selected these experts based on five dimensions: influence, prominence, rigor, political proximity, and expertise. Together, they offer a window into the intellectual framework underpinning Beijing’s economic decision-making. The debates among these experts shed light on the priorities shaping China’s economic policies and offer insight into the trade-offs Beijing must grapple with. Understanding these voices is critical – not just to predicting China’s next moves but also to grasping the constraints and opportunities within its evolving economic system. By unpacking the perspectives of China’s economic whisperers, we aim to shed light on the most pressing economic policy debates of recent months and delve into the areas where expert opinions converge and diverge. Stabilizing the Present: Monetary and Fiscal Moves The Chinese government has implemented unconventional monetary and fiscal policies in recent months in an effort to stabilize its economy. The People’s Bank of China’s (PBoC) new liquidity facility and the Ministry of Finance’s debt-restructuring plan exemplify a growing willingness to experiment with creative solutions. But are these measures bold enough to address the scale of the challenges? The PBoC’s Securities, Funds, and Insurance Companies Swap Facility (SFISF), launched in September, has drawn significant attention. By allowing financial institutions to swap illiquid securities for treasury bonds and central bank bills, it aims to inject 500 billion yuan into the capital markets. Economists such as Yugen Xun of Haitong Securities have lauded the move as a confidence booster, calling it a decisive signal of the PBoC’s commitment to stabilizing financial markets. Similarly, Yuanchun Liu of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics has interpreted the SFISF as a harbinger of more aggressive monetary interventions. However, foreign investors remain wary. Ziqiang Xing of Morgan Stanley was skeptical, noting that while the facility provides short-term relief, it falls short of the level of monetary expansion deemed necessary by many foreign stakeholders. The Ministry of Finance’s debt-swapping scheme, which aims to restructure 10 trillion yuan in hidden local government debt over five years, has similarly received mixed reviews. While Zhiheng Luo of Yuekai Securities praised it for reducing debt servicing costs and enhancing transparency, critics argued it merely delays a reckoning with the underlying fiscal imbalances. One area of consensus among economists is the likelihood of further monetary easing. Ming Ming of CITIC Securities predicted multiple cuts to the reserve requirement ratio and interest rates in 2025, while Qingyou Guan, an independent economist, advocated slashing mortgage rates to stimulate the real estate market. Ge Wu of Changjiang Securities warned that concerns about the yuan’s depreciation and declining deposit rates might constrain aggressive easing but argued that steady monetary expansions and interest rate cuts are nonetheless indispensable. Fiscal policy, by contrast, has revealed deeper divisions. Tao Wang of UBS supports targeted fiscal stimulus of 1.5–2 trillion yuan to spur growth. Meanwhile, Daokui Li, a former PBoC official, urged restraint, warning that large-scale government spending could jeopardize long-term fiscal sustainability. Shijin Liu, a former deputy director of the State Council’s Development Research Center, offered a compromise, emphasizing that any stimulus must prioritize improving public service quality and promoting equitable urbanization. This debate underscores the tension between addressing immediate crises and maintaining fiscal discipline. Searching for a New Growth Engine China’s economic growth has long relied on real estate, but the collapse of this model has sparked an urgent search for alternatives. The debate among experts centers on three interrelated priorities: systemic reform, technological innovation, and economic openness. Systemic reform is widely regarded as a prerequisite for sustainable growth. Xuetao Song of TF Securities advocated for strengthening corporate rights protections, improving public service quality, and curbing wasteful expenditures. For Xunlei Li of Zhongtai Securities, enhancing the social safety net is particularly urgent. He argued that raising household incomes and expanding access to education and healthcare will not only boost domestic consumption but also create new opportunities in the tertiary sector. Shanwen Gao of Essence International Financial Holdings echoed this view, emphasizing that policies to stimulate consumption are critical for economic rebalancing. Others contend that technology, rather than systemic reform, will drive China’s next growth phase. Justin Yifu Lin, a former World Bank chief economist, and Xiaonian Xu of CEIBS both stressed the need to improve corporate productivity and move beyond reliance on investment-led growth. Former IMF Vice President Min Zhu took this argument further, highlighting the importance of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), green energy, and data-driven tools in boosting productivity and fostering new industries. Zhu suggested that China could even lead the global transition to sustainable energy and digital economies if it fully embraces technological innovation. A third school of thought prioritizes greater economic openness. Xinli Zheng, a former deputy director of the CCP Central Policy Research Office, has been a vocal advocate for “institutional opening-up,” urging China to align with global regulatory standards and deepen its integration into international trade systems. Jianguo Wei, a former deputy minister of commerce, highlighted the potential of digital trade and agreements like the Digital Economy Partnership Agreement to attract foreign investment and position China as a leader in high-value global supply chains. Navigating the Trump Factor The return of Donald Trump to the U.S. presidency adds another layer of complexity to China’s economic calculus. Trump’s first term saw a historic trade war that slowed China’s growth and disrupted global supply chains. His reelection raises the likelihood of renewed tariffs and heightened protectionism, forcing Beijing to rethink its economic strategy. Economists are divided on how damaging another round of China-U.S. trade tensions could be. Tao Wang estimated that a full-blown global trade war could shave 2 percentage points off China’s GDP – a significant hit for an economy already facing headwinds. However, Zhiwu Chen of HKU Business School noted a potential silver lining. He argued that heightened trade tensions could accelerate China’s pivot from export-driven growth to a domestic consumption model, as the government would be compelled to reallocate resources toward struggling consumer sectors. Most experts agree that Beijing will need to pursue a dual strategy: mitigating short-term risks while diversifying its trade relationships. Strengthening economic ties with Europe, particularly if EU-U.S. relations sour, is viewed as a key avenue for offsetting American protectionism. At the same time, China is likely to offer more favorable terms to foreign investors, as it did with Tesla, to attract the capital needed for domestic growth. Where Experts Diverge – and Why It Matters A striking feature of the current economic debate is the divergence between experts in financial institutions and those with policymaking experience. The former group tends to favor aggressive stimulus and easing measures to address immediate challenges, reflecting the priorities of capital markets. In contrast, academics and former officials often emphasize structural reforms and strategic investments as essential for long-term stability. These differences reflect deeper ideological divides over the role of the state in managing the economy. Should Beijing prioritize short-term interventions to stabilize markets and reassure investors? Or should it focus on building a more resilient economic foundation, even at the cost of slower recovery in the near term? Another source of contention lies in the balance between fiscal and monetary policy. While most agree that monetary easing will play a central role in the short term, the scale and scope of fiscal intervention remain hotly debated. The controversy underscores the challenges of navigating China’s unique economic pressures, where traditional tools may no longer suffice. What China’s Economic Whisperers Reveal About China’s Economy The varied perspectives among China’s leading economists offer a unique lens into the complexities of the country’s economy and its policymaking process. Points of convergence reflect the recognition of shared structural challenges, while divergences expose the competing priorities and uncertainties shaping China’s path forward. Together, these perspectives offer valuable lessons – not just for Beijing but for a global audience grappling with the ripple effects of China’s economic trajectory. The broad agreement on the need for monetary easing highlights a consensus that immediate stabilization is critical. Economists recognize the urgency of addressing liquidity constraints and restoring confidence in markets. This shared perspective underscores the fragility of China’s current economic framework, where even incremental measures like the SFISF are seen as essential lifelines. For policymakers abroad, this serves as a reminder of how interconnected China’s financial stability is with global markets. A wobble in Chinese liquidity sends ripples through supply chains, investor sentiment, and trade flows worldwide. At the same time, disagreements over fiscal policy and long-term growth strategies reflect the difficult balancing act China faces. The debate over whether to prioritize fiscal restraint or stimulus reveals an economy at a tipping point, struggling to reconcile short-term demands with the imperative of structural reform. Divergent views on the roles of systemic change and technological innovation further illustrate the challenge of building a sustainable growth model. For international observers, these debates point to a larger truth: the solutions that propelled China’s rise – heavy investment, real estate expansion, and export dependency – are no longer sufficient. Beijing must innovate within an increasingly constrained global and domestic environment. The divides also underscore the evolving complexity of China’s economic governance. Unlike earlier decades, when a clear policy consensus often emerged swiftly, today’s debates are shaped by diverse and sometimes conflicting views on China’s direction amid structural slowdowns and global headwinds. Economists focusing on market sentiments advocate bold, immediate interventions to reverse low confidence and sluggish recovery, while those with policymaking backgrounds promote more measured, wait-and-see approaches. This fragmentation reflects the complexity within China’s economic system and signals that China’s policymaking, while decisive, is far from monolithic – and that uncertainty is an inherent feature of its economic transition. Finally, the convergence on external risks – particularly the potential fallout from a renewed China-U.S. trade war – reveals a shared acknowledgment of how geopolitics increasingly shapes economic realities. The recognition that diversification and domestic consumption are critical buffers points to a China recalibrating its strategy for a less stable global environment. In the end, the convergence and divergence of China’s economic voices reveal a country navigating one of the most pivotal transitions in its modern history. While China’s decision-making process remains opaque, identifying these debates offers valuable insights into the trade-offs Beijing faces. For policymakers, investors, and analysts worldwide, understanding these dynamics is key to interpreting the complexities of China’s evolving economic strategy.

Relief, defiance, anger: Families and advocates react to Biden's death row commutationsCommentary: When it's necessary for judges to hold police accountableXylem Inc. stock underperforms Thursday when compared to competitors despite daily gains

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Jalen Hurts remained in the NFL's on Monday, limiting his ability to practice this week for the Philadelphia Eagles and casting doubt on his availability for Sunday's game against Dallas. If Hurts can't play, the Eagles would turn to backup Kenny Pickett — who suffered a rib injury and couldn't protect a big lead in a — with third-stringer Tanner McKee on deck. The Eagles (12-3) need to win one more game over the final two to clinch an NFC East title and one of the conference's top two seeds. Coach Nick Sirianni gave no additional health update on Hurts but did say the QB who led the Eagles to 10 straight wins before he was forced out with the head injury wouldn't need much time this week to get ready against the Cowboys, if he was cleared. “Jalen knows how to prepare,” Sirianni said. “He knows how to get himself ready. He's a true pro." The Eagles are 9 1/2-point favorites over the division rival Cowboys (7-8), per BetMGM Sportsbook. Sirianni said the Eagles would lean on the medical staff on a daily basis to know where Hurts — who passes and ran for a pair of scores in the first meeting against Dallas in November — was in his recovery from the head injury. Hurts was ruled out early at Washington after his head slammed against the ground on one run and he was hit in the helmet by Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu at the end of another. “He's always done a good job of protecting himself both as a passer and a runner,” Sirianni said. “Any time you lose one of your best players, you wish they'd do something else or not take that hit." Hurts shook off a sluggish start over the first four games and has thrown 18 touchdowns against just five interceptions to turn the Eagles into Super Bowl contenders. “Every time there's a player out,” Sirianni said, “there's an adjustment to be made.” Saquon Barkley and the running game. Barkley was held to 41 yards after the first quarter but 150 yards is 150 yards and he still has a shot at NFL history. Barkley leads the NFL with 1,838 yards rushing and is 268 yards away from and his 2,105 yards for the Los Angeles Rams in 1984 for the season mark. Barkley is 162 yards shy of becoming the ninth player in NFL history with 2,000 yards rushing in a season. Backup QB. Pickett was 14 of 24 for 143 yards in relief, throwing a touchdown pass to A.J. Brown and an interception. Pickett played his first meaningful football in a year. The Eagles use McKee as the emergency QB, but the sixth-round pick in the 2023 draft could be in the mix if Hurts sat out against Dallas. Pickett is from New Jersey and said when he was that he had “great memories” of going to games at Lincoln Financial Field with his dad and grandfather since he was 5. The chance to run out of the home team tunnel — which he could get Sunday if he's the starting QB — left him absolutely delighted. Pickett, a first-round pick out of Pitt in 2022, went 14-10 as a starter for the Steelers. “I was impressed by Pickett, honestly," Washington coach Dan Quinn said Monday. "I thought he threw the ball with good accuracy to the right spots. He’s a nice athlete (who can) move, so I can see why they would want him in that system. I thought he got outside and had good scramble ability. Wasn’t surprised they didn’t run the sneaks to go through that.” Zack Baun. The linebacker barely caused a ripple on the transactions wire in March but has been arguably the MVP of the defense. He forced a fumble in the third quarter that set up a score, one of five turnovers for the Eagles. He also had two tackles for losses. The No. 1 seed. The Eagles all but cost themselves a shot at the top spot in the NFC and a bye with the late-game collapse in Washington. The Eagles will clinch the division with a victory over the Cowboys or Giants and most likely will finish with the No. 2 seed. They are one game behind both the Detroit Lions (13-2) and the Minnesota Vikings (13-2) in the NFC standings. Eagles fans can still chant, “We're No. 1!” but it's a long shot. To clinch the No. 1 seed, the Eagles need to beat Dallas and the Giants. And the Lions need to lose their last two games against San Francisco (6-9) and Minnesota. And the Vikings needs to lose to Green Bay (10-4) and beat the Lions in Week 18. Should the status quo remain, the Eagles would host Washington in a playoff game. Beyond Hurts, edge rusher Josh Sweat left with an ankle injury and defensive tackle Jordan Davis limped off in the second quarter. ... Pickett said he had his ribs X-rayed and would undergo further testing. Sirianni had no update Monday on Pickett's condition. 1,000 — Brown became the first Eagles receiver to top 1,000 yards in three straight seasons since Mike Quick from 1983-85. The Eagles can clinch the division and a home playoff game with two lightweights left on the schedule, both at home. The Eagles play Dallas on Sunday in a game bumped to a 1 p.m. kickoff and end the season against the New York Giants. AP NFL:

WFAA DNA discovery special | The keys to unlocking hidden truthsConsider this: It is now four decades ago that astronaut Owen Garriott, callsign W5LFL, pioneered amateur radio communication from space. He was a crewmember on the space shuttle program's STS-9 mission. During that space shuttle flight in 1983, Garriott became the first-ever person in space to communicate with amateur radio operators on the ground . He was also the first person to be heard directly from space by members of the public using simple radio receivers and scanners. That event transformed astronaut communications from space forever, allowing amateur radio operators and the public to communicate with people in space. But don't change that dial! Much more is coming in terms of amateur radio and the International Space Station . Strong signal strength The Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation, or AMSAT in short wave sign language, is a worldwide group of Amateur Radio Operators dubbed as "Hams." AMSAT itself was formed in 1969 as an educational organization. For decades the organization has emitted strong signal strength to emphasize that status. For decades, AMSAT groups have had far-reaching, positive effects on the future of both amateur radio, as well as other governmental, scientific and commercial activities in terms of the final frontier. Home brew AMSAT's ongoing achievements in space research and communication were kick-started by efforts surrounding the 1961 launch of Project OSCAR - the Orbiting Satellite Carrying Amateur Radio. A U.S.-based group on the west coast built the very first amateur radio satellite, the 10-pound "home brew" OSCAR-1, assembled in a garage in Los Altos, California. OSCAR-1 was lofted on Dec. 12, 1961 as a secondary payload as "ballast" on a U.S. spy satellite launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. OSCAR-1 made its ascension into Earth orbit a scant four years after the liftoff of the former Soviet Union's first Sputnik in October 1957. Radio spectrum "Since then, two groups — Project OSCAR and AMSAT — have launched more than 30 spacecraft designed and built by radio amateurs. The OSCAR number is now over 100 satellites but most of these have been university satellites who wanted to use amateur radio spectrum and wanted to support the notion of satellite for use by radio amateurs," said Jan King, a founding member of AMSAT. "Amateur radio has launched and operated more satellites than most countries have," King told Space.com. But for boosted signal strength, enter the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS). The ARISS program was created and is managed by an international consortium of amateur radio organizations and space agencies including NASA, Russia's Roscosmos, the Canadian Space Agency, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency and the European Space Agency. Educational connections Frank Bauer, also known as KA3HDO in callsign lingo, is ARISS-USA Executive Director and serves as international chair of the group. "We are performing 60-100 'educational connections' with astronauts and cosmonauts on ISS a year," Bauer told Space.com. Educational connections are astronaut on-board contacts in formal and informal educational settings. These can include formal schools, virtual or home schools, scouts, boys and girls clubs, libraries, etc., Bauer explained. To date, ARISS has performed about 1,700 connections with ISS astronauts, an initiative that began just a few weeks after the first crew came onboard the orbiting outpost, he said. Over that period of time, ARISS has chalked up several milestones. On Nov. 13 of this year, the group celebrated 24 years of continuous operations and on Dec. 21 they flag the 24th anniversary of their first ISS school contact. "Our connections, over the years, have engaged between 40,000 and 200,000 youth per year," Bauer said. "We were the first operational educational payload on the ISS." New milestones In the next few years, ARISS is scoping out new milestones the group would like to achieve. For one, there's an ARISS 2.0 initiative, a new education vision for the future and one that is multi-pronged. To that end, that strategy involves: Developing and deploying engaging education projects and lesson plans; Extending low Earth orbit (LEO) space-reach to include multiple commercial space stations as well as activities on ISS; Extending educational activities beyond LEO into deep space via lunar orbiters and landers, including NASA's projected Lunar Gateway; Supporting science/technology projects that employ ARISS capabilities and/or enhance science via radio techniques. Projects underway There have been a series of partnerships, grants and other ARISS team activities that are keyed to education, spaceflight hardware development and spaceflight operations. Bauer pointed to projects underway, such as SPARKI (Space Pioneers Amateur Radio Kit Initiative) Radio Kit, which is currently operational via a grant from Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC), a California-based foundation with roots in amateur radio and the technology of internet communication. Also there are partnerships with the private space group Axiom and NASA, Bauer added, "where we have supported all three Axiom mission crews." Also there's the ARISS STAR (Space Telerobotics Using Amateur Radio), in development, as well as Student Mission Control, also in development, said Bauer. Blue-sky to the moon How about any blue-sky thoughts on future ARISS endeavors that might tie into NASA Artemis moon base contact with future crews? Bauer responded saying that the ARISS Amateur Radio Exploration (AREx) program has been developing systems to be deployed on crewed and uncrewed missions to the moon. "Their purpose is to inspire, engage and educate youth and lifelong learners in STEAM/STEM activities and encourage them to pursue STEAM/STEM careers," said Bauer. STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics while STEAM stands for science, technology, engineering, arts , and mathematics. Achievable goal "We have a fairly mature hardware prototype of a system called CAVIAR (Communications, Audio, Video, Imaging using Amateur Radio), which will allow youth to actively immerse themselves in lunar exploration in the lunar environment," Bauer added. "This includes communications with astronauts during the exploration activities as well as the ability to capture pictures and video directly, similar to what we have accomplished on ISS. Lunar communications, ala ARISS is achievable," concluded Bauer. For contact with ARISS, visit their official website .
