2 Schoolcontacten met ISS op donderdag 26 oktober

ARISS heeft voor komende donderdag, 26 oktober, maar liefst 2 schoolcontacten met ISS gepland.
Het eerste contact is gepland voor 8:23 UTC met de school Beaconsfield State School, Mackay, Queensland, Australië. Het wordt een telebridge verbinding. Claudio, IK1SLD verzorgt dit keer het grondstation in Italië.
De uizending vanuit ISS is in grote delen van Europa rechtstreeks te beluisteren op 145,800 MHz.
Hoogst waarschijnlijk is deze schoolstation verbinding ook als video stream te volgen via de webstream van de BATC.
Het tweede contact op donderdag is gepland voor 9:55 UTC.
Dit keer een gecombineerd schoolcontact met 2 scholen, één in Ierland en één in Roemenië.
De scholen zijn: Glanmire Community College, in Cork, Ierland en Colegiul National Calistrat Hogas, in Piatra Neamt, Roemenië. Joe Acaba, KE5DAR, is bij deze dubbele verbinding de astronaut in ISS die de vragen gaat beantwoorden.
De school in Ierland verzorgt dit keer de rechtstreekse verbinding en heeft voor die gelegenheid de call EI1ISS. De school in Roemenie maakt een telefoonverbinding met de school in Ierland.
Op de frequentie 145,800 MHz is deze gecombineerde verbinding, in smalband FM, in een deel van Europa rechtstreeks te volgen.
Zie hieronder voor de beschrijving van beide scholen en de vragen die gesteld gaan worden.

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.

SSTV uitzendingen vanuit ISS

Gedurende de komende dagen zijn er SSTV uitzendingen te verwachten vanuit ISS. Dit om het 20 jarig bestaan van ARISS te vieren. De uitzendingen gaan naar alle waarschijnlijkheid door tot zondagavond 23 juli 18:00 uur UTC.

De uitzendingen worden gedaan vanuit de Zarya module. Dat betekent dat er wordt uitgezonden met de Kenwood D710 zender met 25 watt zendvermogen in FM.

De SSTV mode die gebruikt gaat worden is PD120 of mogelijk ook PD180. De meeste computer programma’s als MMSSTV, MIXW2 en FLDIGI kiezen deze mode automatisch.

ARISS schoolcontact ontvangst in Apeldoorn

Ik heb meegeluisterd op 145.800 MHz en ik heb meegekeken met de webstream.

Eerst een heel verhaal maar dat was in het Grieks.
Toen ze in Griekenland begonnen met het leggen van het contact kwam het ISS bij mij keihard binnen. Tegen de tijd dat ze in Katerini het signaal ontvingen was het bij mij voorbij.
Leuk om te zien hoe de scholieren netjes hun beurt afwachtten. Alhoewel één jonge dame zo te horen een paar keer een vraag mocht stellen waardoor misschien een paar leerlingen niet meer aan de beurt kwamen.
Maar de tijd was sowieso te kort om iedereen aan bod te laten komen. Het is net als met de Tour de France; het ISS wacht niet!

Ik heb nog snel even mijn ontvangst met de smartphone vastgelegd en als MP3 bestand toegevoegd

School presentation

Roger Martin du Gard is a middle school in Bellême, France. Located in Normandy,
in the heart of the regional natural park of le Perche, this village of approximately
two thousand inhabitants sits on a hill dominating the Perche area.

Roger Martin du Gard was constructed in the 1970s and was totally rebuilt on the same location in 1994. It got its name from Literature Nobel Prize, Roger Martin du Gard, a writer who lived the last part of his life nearby, in Le Château du Tertre. The number of students has been stable for the past four years, with about three hundred children in twelve different classes (3 in each level, from grades 7 through 10).
It welcomes students from age 11 to 15.

This school project, ARISS, aims at having the students succeed in their different education paths. The ARISS project is the one opportunity to show the students that being in a rural area does not limit their possibilities and their capacities to do things. It is a way to help them find a possible future in such an important field. Complementing their physics program, it also offers a magical moment to all the students in the school, while showing that working serves a real motivation.

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

1. Romuald (14): Qu’est-ce-qui vous a donné envie de devenir astronaute?

School presentation

The Los Angeles Unified School District: Local District South, Los Angeles, California at The Council of State Science Supervisors (CSSS) Annual Conference, Los Angeles, California

CSSS is the only professional science organization whose members have direct accountability to the state government agencies given the constitutional authority for education. Each of these supervisors plays a key role in directing efforts at improving school science and ensuring excellence and equity in science education in their states.

This partnership with ARISS is a way to showcase the importance of space education and create enthusiasm among state leaders that can be shared with teachers across the nation. CSSS partnered with students from the Los Angeles Unified School District, The Jordan-Locke network comprised of 16 elementary schools for this event. Participants in the ARISS contact include 6th grade students from the 92nd, 93rd, and 96th elementary schools.  The District demonstrates that all children can achieve their highest potential when the conditions for learning are at an optimum by integrating project based learning into the academic achievement of students in all subjects. All schools are located in Watts or South Central Los Angeles and consist of a predominantly Latino and African American Student population with poverty rates in the 95-100%
