HamTV - Houston Power Point slides 
http://www.amsat.org/amsat/ariss/Meetings/2011_Houston/Presentations/11%20Presentazione_Houston_Draft.pdf

Some addition information plus a video of a presentation given by
AMSAT-Italia (video in Italian) is on the ESA website at
http://www.esa.int/About_Us/ESRIN/Radio_hams_at_ESRIN_with_AMSAT_Italia/%28print%29

I understand the HamTV equipment will be carried to the ISS on the
Japanese HTV 4 spacecraft currently planned to launch on August 4.

BTW Italy also has an Astronaut Luca Parmitano KF5KDP heading to the ISS.
Luca is planned to launch from Baikonur in Kazhakstan to the ISS on May 28
and is also mentioned in his post -
