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).

 

The High School G.D. Cassini of Sanremo is part of the higher education school system of the Italian Republic and is located in Sanremo. The Institute is named the scientist “Gian Domenico Cassini”, as well as the Cassini-Huygens Mission. Our School is considered to be one of the most ancient Italian higher education schools, its foundation being established in 1859 during the Savoy monarchy. Three study specializations are available: classical, scientific and linguistic. At the end of this type of school, lasting five years, students who pass the State Exam can access any university departments. (1100 students, 14-19).

Actieve en niet actieve contesters zijn uitgenodigd voor een inventarisatie

/in , /door

Binnen de IARU-R1-C5 is nu een groep die zich specifiek bezig houdt met de organisatie van toekomstige contesten. Graag weten ze de mening van de individuele contester en contest teams. Zowel degenen die hun log naar een robot (of de nationale contest manager sturen) als degenen die alleen ‘punten weggeven’ en geen log insturen.

Het is belangrijk om de activiteit op onze banden te kunnen verbeteren.

De contest organisatie heeft een vragenlijst opgesteld om de meningen te inventariseren, het zou mooi zijn als zoveel mogelijk contesters die invullen. Het invullen zal ongeveer 15 minuten duren en zal op 30 november 2017 sluiten.

Let wel: het gaat om de Weak-Signal contesten, niet om ATV contesten!

2 Schoolcontacten met ISS op donderdag 26 oktober

/in /door
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.
