Artemis II Launch Audio on IRLP Discovery Reflector 9010

Live NASA Launch coverage (audio) will be available on IRLP Discovery Reflector 9010 as early as 6 March of this year (actual launch date TBD by NASA). The supporting Channel on Discovery Reflector will be 9017.

Broadcast of the launch audio will start at T – 60 on IRLP node 9010, channel 9017 and accessible via VE1HNS repeater in Halifax.

How do I listen in (this is a listen only event)?

1. If you can reach repeater VE1HNS, just listen to the repeater as the repeater and IRLP node managers will make the required connections.
   
2. Can’t reach VE1HNS?
