Vrijdag 29 april, 8:34 UTC, ARISS schoolcontact met Italie.

Dit keer een schoolcontact met Noord Italie. Tim Kopra is de astronaut. Met de roepletters OR4ISS maakt hij een directe verbinding met IZ3YRA in het Istituto Comprensivo Statale “Diego Valeri”, in Campolongo Maggiore, Italy. Deze verbinding moet voor een groot deel van de passage ook in Nederland goed te ontvangen zijn. Zoals altijd op 145,800 MHz. Zoals meestal is de voertaal tijdens dit contact Engels.

Er zijn 20 vragen van schoolkinderen geselecteerd. Of ze ook alle 20 aan de microfoon kunnen komen is daarbij nooit zeker. De tijd zal het leren.

De vragen zijn:

1. Davide: What do you drink or eat in the space station?
2. Alessio: What do you miss of earth?
3. Veronica: How do you feel when you watch out the space station? Do you like the landscape?
