This is most likely due to the SpaceX Dragon docking and undocking recently and the upcoming Expedition 59 crew slated to fly to the Space Station on March 14th.
During such operations or Space walks, the crew is instructed to turn off the Amateur Radio equipment.
*** To answer a couple of the APRS questions out there:
The system has been down recently because of the Soyuz docking. We now have
an additional 3 crew members on ISS–a total of 6. We hope to have the
radio system turned back on soon. We were waiting for the docking to occur
for the crew to do a power cycle.
We did launch and replace the old packet module with a “new” old flight
backup unit. As some have pointed out, its characteristics are a bit
different from the old one. Some have said that it is deaf. Note that when
these were built in the late 1990’s the radio system was set up with a tight
3 kHz deviation for packet. The suggestion to tighten up your deviation may
improve your ability to better communicate with the system. In the
meantime, the ARISS team is focused on getting the next-generation radio
system built and flown.
The next pass _ Elev. 43° _ over my location will be in about 2 hours. Will confirm after it.
I just tried listening to ISS APRS at GG29rm and could NOT hear a beep.
I’ll try again on the next pass.

I just received a message from him. He went through a 62° pass.
I confirm the APRS ISS reception on the whole flight at 18.55 above my area in southern Poland.
Aprs ISS work ok. Qth KO11be Time 16.16 UTC
4 station on map recive
Yep, i can also confirm ISS APRS is working again, at least since february 2nd
No contact for several days now.. not hearing it either. de Merv. vk3kaw
Not heard for several days now. Last pass at 32 degrees not a peep.
This is most likely due to the SpaceX Dragon docking and undocking recently and the upcoming Expedition 59 crew slated to fly to the Space Station on March 14th.

Is it working at the moment? Had a 77 degree pass, not a single beep or response even with bigger antenna.
Hello, yesterday had two reports from Poland that APRS was working.
By now no other infos..
Haven’t seen APRS working from ISS for quite some time. No updates here either…. I see plenty of updates to other topics but none about APPRS.
