ARISS Schoolcontact op vrijdag 3 november om 9:27 UTC

/in /door

Op vrijdag 3 november om 9:27 UTC  is er weer een schoolcontact te beluisteren en hoogst waarschijnlijk is dit contact ook via de BATC TV server te volgen. Het contact tussen Paolo Nespoli (IZØJPA ) in ISS en 2 scholen in Italie wordt zoals te verwachten is in het Italiaans gevoerd. Het grondstation in Italie wordt bediend door IQ5LI. Dit contact is in grote delen van Europa te volgen op de frequentie 145,800 MHz in smalband FM. De HAMTV zender wordt bij deze verbinding ook weer ingeschakeld zodat de verbinding live te volgen is via de BATC server. (https://ariss.batc.tv/hamtv/)

Hieronder volgt de beschrijving van de scholen en de vragen die de kinderen gaan stellen.

School Information:

The liceo scientifico “Francesco Cecioni” in Livorno is a high school with about 1200 students. The school was born in 1972 as a subsidiary but in 1974 already got its own identity for the experimental and innovative methods introduced as response to the demanding instruction innovation. Since 2010 the school has four specializations: scientific, linguistic, artistic and humanistic; the half of the students follow the scientific specialization. From the ’80s, Liceo Cecioni sent its representatives to the final rounds of the national competition in math and physics. At present, astrophysics is the topic of the “Astrolab” program, reserved for the best students of the school and organized in collaboration with a network that includes: TNG at Las Palmas (Canary), Pisa and Pavia University, Arcetri Observatory (Florence) and S.Marcello Pistoiese Observatory (Pistoia). The deep involvement in the “Zero Robotics” competition has increased the interest of the students in the space research.

 

Liceo Artistico “Melotti” in Lomazzo (Como) is arts high school addresses the study of aesthetic phenomena and artistic practice. It promotes the acquisition of specific methods of research and artistic production and the competence of related languages and techniques. It provides students with the tools necessary to know the artistic heritage in its historical and cultural context and to fully appreciate its presence and value in today’s society. It helps students to deepen and develop their knowledge and competences and to mature the skills necessary to give expression to their creativity and design skills in the field of arts. (Age 14-18)

Gesplitste IARU-R1 VHF handbook is uitgegeven

/in /door

Als resultaat van één van de door de VERON ingediende IARU voorstellen vorig jaar in Wenen is het VHF-managers handbook gebruikersvriendelijk gemaakt en gesplitst in vier delen. Deze vorm was al aangekondigd in de VHF-en-hoger rubriek in Electron van juli 2017 en is nu bijgewerkt met de besluiten die genomen zijn bij de IARU vergadering in Landshut (2017). Alle wijzigingen zijn gekleurd aangegeven waardoor de doorgevoerde besluiten direct zichtbaar zijn. Door de splitsing is het geheel handzamer voor de gebruiker, die meestal genoeg heeft aan deel 1. Voor de volledigheid ook nog hetgeen er in de andere delen staat (maar die zullen voornamelijk door de VHF managers worden gebruikt).

  Deel 1: Praktische informatie voor alle gebruikers (Practical information for all users) met hierin:

  • bandplannen,
  • contest reglementen,
  • operating procedures,
  • amateur satellieten.

  • organiseren van frequentie toewijzingen en band plannen,
  • rapportages,
  • locator systeem,
  • Antenne polarisatie,
  • Electronische logs (EDI),
  • Automatische contest beoordelings software,
  • Defenities van ‘pings’ en ‘bursts’ voor wetenschappelijke analyse van meteor scatter,
  • FM telefonie,
  • Digitale gegevensoverdracht,
  • Amateur (breedband) televisie,
  • Baken eisen.
  Deel 3: Informatie voor VHF managers (Information for VHF managers) met hierin:

  • Organisatie,
  • Aanbevelingen voor VHF managers,
  • Procedure voor het organiseren van de VHF-en-hoger contesten,
  • IARU-R1 satelliet coördinatie,
  • Repeater coördinatie,
  • Bakens,
  • Propagatieonderzoek door radio amateurs,
  • VHF/UHF/uWaves gegevens,
  • IARU-R1 certificaten en medailles.
  Deel 4: Historische data (Historical data) met hierin:

  • lijst met wijzigingen,
  • IARU informatie,
  • Bakens,
  • Bandplannen,
  • Contesten,
  • Locator systeem,
  • Digitale communicatie.

Twee van de voorbladen bevatten trouwens Nederlandse afbeeldingen, kijk maar eens bij part 1 en part 2. In part 3 is de Nederlandse delegatie in Wenen (achterin) zichtbaar.

Het actuele VHF handbook is altijd te downloaden bij Home > Commissie.

“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.
