I have heard that just shortly after the accident when the space
station was over Florida, that the american astronaut contacted NASA 
on the amateur radio and relayed the status of the space station to 
them. 
 
I have heard, also, that the space shuttle is scheduled for a liftoff 
tomorrow, July 1st.  It is scheduled to go on a 10 day mission. 
 
I don't know if it is going to rondezvous with the space station or 
not, but they are supposed to be transmitting on 145.55 and listening 
on 144.91 144.93 144.95 144.97 and 144.99. 
 
I know that there are several other people who have been interested in 
attempting to contact the space shuttle, so this should be of a help 
to them.
