Many times it is carried live on NASA TV (as it is right now)

Also on the right, if you scroll down in the channels box, there is a mission audio link.

Ofcourse, what we hear as the mission audio is the so called big loop, which is open for everybody to listen. If need be, the astronauts switch to small loop, which is only between the mission control and the astronauts.

I'm not complaining about it, just stating the obvious, that we're not hearing everything. Not that there is need for us to hear everything.

That is true, and in fact there are private, encrypted communications between the station/shuttle and the ground.

Why is that? What do they have to hide? Hmmmmmmmmmm?

I heard a president once say we don't hide our space program. BS, cause they do!

Because sometimes there are private things to discuss, such as crew medical issues.

Not quite right. There are two space to ground loops between ISS and the ground, called S/G-1 and S/G-2. The shuttle has 2 also called ait to ground or A/G-1 and A/G-2. When the shuttle is docked to the ISS S/G-1 is combined with A/G-1. Therefore, any call on S/G-1 or A/G-1 are heard by both control room and both vehicles. This is called the "big loop".

If we need to talk to the crew without anyone hearing we can privitze the loops or they can call on an IP Phone.

Have you had a listen to...

Apollo 11-Lunar Landing

On... Radio365

Check it out on the site, type the 'Apollo 11-Lunar Landing' in the 365 search and add it
to your favourites, it's truly amazing. I go back to it now and then, wish I had the
stuff on CD so I could listen to it in the car.
