Er is weer een ARISS schoolcontact op komst. Dit keer met het ESA Space Camp 2016, in Lenk, Switzerland

De astronaut Takuya Onishi KF5LKS gaat vragen beantwoorden van deelnemende kinderen van het ESA Space Camp 2016 dat in Lenk, Switzerland, wordt gehouden. Het contact moet op maandag 25 juliom ongveer 12:46 UTC starten en duurt ongeveer 10 minuten.
De verbinding is dit keer een telebridge verbinding met het ARISS grondstation van W6SRJ,  in Santa Rosa, Californie, USA.

Presentation:

The ESA Space Camp is a summer camp organized by the European Space Agency
at KUSPO, “Kurs und Sportzentrum” in Lenk, Switzerland. For two weeks,
youngsters receive space education and making an ARISS contact with an
astronaut in space will be a highlight in the program. The program covers
space and exploration, such as looking at Rosetta’s final operations as well
as at planet Earth and its uniqueness in the universe. A ham radio expert
will explain to the children how we communicate with the crew on the ISS.

Signals from space will not be audible in Europe, but the event will be
streamed.

to bring the astronaut back to earth?
