Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Status Report
June 22, 2009
1. Upcoming School Contacts
Centre scolaire de Berlaymont in Waterloo, Belgium has been scheduled for an
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Monday
June 22 at 12:15 UTC. This will be a telebridge contact via station W6SRJ in
California. Students will pose questions about life and work in space to
European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut Frank De Winne on the International
Space Station. Audio from this contact will be fed into the EchoLink AMSAT
(101377) and JK1ZRW (277208) servers.
An Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact has been
scheduled for Karel de Grote-Hogeschool, Departement IWT in Hoboken, Belgium.
The school will use the contact on its information day, June 27, 2009. The
goal of this day is to persuade high school students to study a technical
subject (e.g., engineering). Therefore, the contact will not be embedded in
curricular activities as such, but will be part of this day in the course of a
panel discussion around the subject: "the sky is not the limit." The contact
will take place at 09:33 UTC via telebridge station W6SRJ in California.
Audio from this contact will be fed into the EchoLink AMSAT (101377) and
JK1ZRW (277208) servers.
Inukjuak Space Camp in Kuujjuaq Quebec, Canada has been scheduled for an
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on July 2 at
17:58 UTC, assisted by telebridge station WH6PN in Hawaii. Makivik
Corporation, a non-profit organization that promotes economic growth of Inuit
businesses, is supporting the event. Students from grades 1-6 have been
involved in a space club to learn about space, the International Space Station
and amateur radio protocol. Audio from this contact will be fed into the
EchoLink AMSAT (101377) and JK1ZRW (277208) servers.
