Het contact wordt gehouden in de Italiaanse taal en zal in een groot deel van Europa te ontvangen zijn. De grondstations in de scholen zijn IQ5LU en IQ1SM. Tevens is het HAMTV station in ISS actief. De beelden hiervan zijn via de BATC te volgen

De 2 Italiaanse scholen zijn: Istituto  Tecnico Tecnologico “Enzo Ferrari” in Borgo A Mozzano en Liceo Statale “G.  D. Cassini” in Sanremo.

“Enzo Ferrari” Institute is located in Borgo a Mozzano, Lucca and is one by four schools of “Barga” Institute in Lucca,Tuscany.

“Enzo Ferrari” Institute is a secondary technical chemical school where teaching is focused on scientific subjects: math, physics, chemistry, biology and natural sciences.

The ARISS Chemistry space project will be an essential part of the School Curriculum – POF- (Annual educational plan) of the next school years and will involve students of the first and second classes, for the two year period 2016 – 2018 (10 classes, 200 students, 14-19).
