”It was my good fortune to take the first amateur radio into space on STS-9 in November 1983,” Garriott said. “In my spare time only, I managed to hold up an antenna to the window and to talk to amateurs on Earth.”
This contact was the first communication between astronauts and people on the ground outside of “official” channels, which are usually reserved for presidents and heads of state.
