In light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the ARISS team is working to transform its activities for the health and safety of our students, host educational institutions and its team.

It has instituted an immediate response effort followed by a more strategic, longer-term initiative to protect all. ARISS leadership, working with a physician on the team, is carefully reviewing all of its procedures in light of the evolving COVID-19 recommendation. ARISS will continue to monitor the local and global situations and will modify its local and global planning as these situations change.

ARISS has two primary initiatives underway. One is to develop “virtual school” contacts to link each student in their home through its telebridge stations. The other is to plan SSTV (picture downlink) sessions during which pictures from ISS can be received by all in their homes.
