Glanmire Community College is located in Ireland, beside the city of Cork. The student body, all of whom are now space fanatics, consists of over 1,000 boys and girls aged between 13 and 18. From building models to choral arrangements, students have enthusiastically prepared for this once in a lifetime opportunity.
All students have studied about the ISS and were given an oppertunity to submit questions to be selected.

Colegiul National “CALISTRAT HOGAS” Piatra-Neamt provides quality services for the educational community by ensuring every student has their individual course of development. An important mission of the high school is to respect human diversity and also to ensure the full safety of the students.
The vision  of this school is based on its current status of “university education nursery” and aims to achieve superior performance not only for those who are certified in training, but also to affirm the  potential and social fulfillment  of our young Romanian generation which is known and acknowledged here in their own country and also abroad.

There are 770 students attending this school, of whom 200 students are enrolled in middle school classes and 570 students in high school classes.
