The contact should be audible over the U.S. state of North \nCarolina\nand portions of the eastern U.S. Interested parties are invited to \nlisten in on\nthe 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.\n\nStudents have also participated in a mock astronaut training session at \nMarbles\nKids Museum after viewing the Hubble 3D IMAX movie. Students conducted \nresearch\nand composed questions based on the research they conducted. The school \nvoted on\nthe best 20 questions.\n\nJohn Brier, KG4AKV, and Jim Scarborough, KE4ROH, have worked closely by\nproviding our students with background information and serving as guest \nspeakers\nand facilitators for the event.
