Fun fact: There is an APRS repeater on the ISS. You can use the ISS as a relay to the APRS network. And APRS has a cellular gateway, which means you can send SMS messages to mobile phones via the ISS. * Sending SMS Messages Through the ISS https://www.kj7nzl.net/blog/sending-sms-messages-through-iss...
