WaHoo !!!
First Documented contact In Space using Damn Small Linux !!

Nice to see the ISS Digi back in operation.
Using my simple setup, I was able to send/rec APRS packets off the ISS,
and even got packets from Mexico to Maine with 4 watts and a Laptop !
It was a low pass this time, so no exchanges.. Next Time !!
The ISS uses the callsign RS0ISS-3 for APRS .
The first pic is my log showing both my sig AND a personal message from my station to the ISS.
The second pic shows all the states/countries I exchanged callsigns with during the pass.
A third pic I added shows all the other stations sigs and messages during the pass.

Someone want to setup a sked with me !? DSL-2-DSL !?

Here's the details !

Damn Fine !
