1. Upcoming School Contacts
An Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact has been
scheduled with 18 Dimotiko Scholeio Peristeriou in Athens, Greece on
Tuesday, March 16 at 11:37 UTC. The contact was integrated into the school
curriculum through astronomy and amateur radio lectures and special
attention was given to the ISS regarding its role in humanity and science.
The ISS courses were based on ESA's "ISS Education Kit." The amateur radio
presentation included a demonstration of the equipment and its operation.

studied astronomy and were introduced to the Hubble Space Telescope. They
learned about radio communication and some students continued their studies
and prepared for their amateur radio license exams.
