ARISS Schoolcontact op dinsdag 27 maart om 17:41 UTC

/in /door

Op dinsdag 27 maart is om 17:41 UTC weer een schoolcontact met ISS te beluisteren.

De school is dit keer een Amerikaanse school uit Freeport, NY. Het contact is een telebridge verbinding die dit keer loopt via het ARISS grondstation van Claudio, IK1SLD, in Italie.  Dat is dan ook meteen de reden waarom de verbinding met als downlink 145,800 MHz in FM hier prima te ontvangen zal zijn.

Hieronder volgt nog een beschrijving van de school en de vragen die door de leerlingen gesteld gaan worden aan de astronaut Scott Tingle, KG5NZA

School Information:
Freeport Public Schools is located in the city of Freeport, about 25 miles east of New York City. The district is composed of 8 schools—one pre-K school, four elementary schools, one intermediate middle school, one middle school, and one high school. The total student enrollment is 7,400 and 90% of the students are Hispanic or African-American. Science is taught in all grades, and at the high school students enroll in Advanced Placement classes in physics (calculus and non-calculus based), chemistry, biology, and environmental science. We also have a research class in each of the grades 7-12 that is open to all students.

Our students have participated in the International Astronomical Search Campaign to confirm or discover asteroids that exist in the asteroid belt. We confirmed the discovery of two asteroids, received two plaques from NASA and then published a paper on our work in a leading physics educational journal. One of our teachers and his students travelled to California Institute of Technology to take part in NASA/IPAC Teacher Archive Research Program. One of the students who participated in this research program is now majoring in astrophysics.

Our students have been preparing for our conversation with Scott Tingle from early last summer. This unique opportunity to speak and observe Scott in the International Space Station has generated tremendous enthusiasm for science among our students. Going forward, we plan to design an experiment that can be conducted in the Space Station. At some point in the future we would also like to invite Mr. Tingle to come to our school and give a science seminar.

Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:

1. Lesley (15): If an astronaut gets a bacterial infection, do antibiotics work in space as they do on Earth?

2. Jayden (13): Could you describe the ‘SUPVIS Justin’ experiment you conducted on March 2 and the next steps in this work
3. Sarah (12): How has your perspective about the Earth changed as a result of your trip to the Space Station?
4. Jonavan (10): What are the duties of a typical astronaut on his/her first day in space?
5. Johan (10): Does the immune system become impaired after a prolonged stay in space?
6. Gabriela (10): What does it look like from space when seasons are changing?
7. Ava (10): How does age effect how the body reacts in space?
8. Giovanni (12): What are the uses of the robotic arm?
9. Brenna (14): You plan to do one or more spacewalks in your trip aboard the ISS. Could you describe the biggest challenge you face in such missions?
10. Adisa (16): How often and how does ISS adjust its trajectory to maintain a constant orbit?
11. Lesley (15): If astronauts leave the Earth at around 17,000 mph why does it take so long to reach the ISS located approximately 250 miles above the Earth?
12. Jayden (13): I know you like fluid mechanics. Could you describe the fluid mechanics experiments you are involved in?
13. Sarah (12): Has the ISS National Laboratory found any possible organisms that can survive the harsh conditions of space for a prolonged period of time?
14. Jonavan (10): What would happen if you got sick in space?
15. Johan (10): You will be doing a number of experiments aboard the ISS. Could you describe one that interests you the most?
16. Gabriela (10): How can we help pets to survive in outer space for longer periods of time?
17. Ava (10): What are the effects of blood rushing to astronauts’ heads in a microgravity environment?
18. Giovanni (12): You were one of the first responders in the September 2001 terrorist attacks. Could you describe your role?
19. Brenna (14): Knowing there is debris in space can you describe briefly how ISS detects objects moving toward the station?

This is a region especially devoted to agriculture.  There are also a few industries and services and an important university nearby. Olive oil, wine, and cheese are well-known products of this region, together with an increasing and important cherry production that puts Portugal in a pleasant place in the exportation rankings. The highest place in mainland Portugal is located in the neighborhood the Estrela mountain (1997 mts.) which brings an important number of visitors especially during the snow season.

In June 2012, the school has become an aggregation of several schools for students aged 3-18 which has enlarged the institution. There are 1573 students and 176 teachers. The school has a large variety of student profiles as well as families. Pupils start here the kindergarten until they complete the secondary education, which means it offers an educational project during 12 years. Besides the basic 3 cycles of studies, a wide amount of courses in the secondary education are offered. The secondary regular courses vary from Sciences and Technologies, Economics to Visual Arts and Humanities. There is also an offer of vocational courses.

Some students are taking part in the 2018 European CanSat Competition of the European Space Agency (ESA). A CanSat is a simulation of a real satellite, integrated within the volume and shape of a soft drink can.  Last year, they also participated in the European Astro Pi Challenge which is a project by the ESA Education Office, in collaboration with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, offering primary and secondary school students the amazing opportunity to run scientific investigations on the International Space Station (ISS) by means of computer coding.

The Rede dos Emissores Portugueses (REP) was founded in 1926. The REP, as national member society, represents Portugal in the IARU since 1931.  The REP headquarters is located in Lisbon, however, there are numbers of HAM radio clubs in different regions of Portugal.

About ARISS:

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station: NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, JAXA, and CSA. The US Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) and the  National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) provide special support.

ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on board the International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters’ interest in science, technology, and learning.

The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or informal education venues.  With the help of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a variety of public forums.  Before and during these radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio.  For more information, see: http://www.ariss.org/ , http://www.ariss-eu.org and https://www.amsat-on.be/hamtv-summary/ .

AMSAT CW activiteitendag 2018 ter nagedachtenis van G3IOR

/in /door

Op 1 januari 2018 zal van 0001 tot 2400 UTC de Amsat activiteitendag worden gehouden die dit jaar is opgedragen aan Pat Gowen G3IOR, die erg actief was tijdens de Russische satellieten periode en veel ‘over de horizon’ verbindingen maakte.

De regels zijn eenvoudig: die zijn er niet! Maak eenvoudigweg CW verbindingen via een amateursatelliet. ‘Straight keys’ en ‘bugs’ zijn aanbevolen, mar niet noodzakelijk. Als CW liefhebber misschien ook leuk om alleen eens te luisteren en te zien wat er zoal te ontvangen is. Desnoods via de webSDR. Het belangrijkste is je te vermaken.

Iedere lineaire transponder satelliet zoals F)-29, AO-7 en de Chinese XW-2D, E, F zijn bruikbaar. Kijk op de satellietpagina voor meer informatie om de satellieten te kunnen volgen.
