ARISS News Release No. 22-05 Dave Jordan, AA4KN ARISS PR aa4kn(a)amsat.org FORIMMEDIATE RELEASE ARISSContact is Scheduled for Students at Johannes-Kepler-Gymnasium, Lebach, Germany February2, 2022—Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) has receivedschedule confirmation for an ARISS radio contact with astronauts. ARISS is thegroup that puts together special amateur radio contacts between students aroundthe globe and crew members with ham radio licenses on the International Space Station (ISS). This will be a direct contact via amateur radio between students at the Johannes-Kepler-Gymnasium,Lebach, Germany and Astronaut Matthias Maurer, amateur radio call sign KI5KFH. Students will take turns asking their questions.Local Covid-19protocols are adhered to as applicable for each ARISS contact. The downlink frequency for this contact is 145.800 MHZ and may be heardby listeners that are within the ISS-footprint that also encompasses the radio relayground station. Amateur radio operators, using the call sign DL0JKG, willoperate the ham radio ground station for this contact. The ARISS radio contact isscheduled for February 4, 2022 at 12:37 pm CET (Lebach, Germany), (11:37 UTC, 6:37am EST, 5:37 am CST, 4:37 am MST and 3:37 am PST). Das JKG ist nun seit fast 10-Jahren imSaarland Vorreiterschule in Sachen Informatik, IT und Digitalisierung. Nebender Zusammenarbeit mit Partnern wie dem Globalplayer „Bosch GmbH Homburg“, dem„Umweltcampus Birkenfeld“ und dem lokalen Vertreter „Krämer-IT“ konnte dieLebacher MINT-Hochburg in diversen Projekten wie der Mitarbeit bei derEntwicklung der mittlerweile bundesweit verwendeten Bildungscloud oder demProjekt IT2School über die Landesgrenzen hinaus Anerkennung erwerben. Nachdem das Johannes-Kepler-Gymnasium2018 zum ersten Mal als Mintfreundliche Schule Digital+ ausgezeichnet wurde,konnte sich die Schulgemeinschaft jüngst über die für Insider wenigüberraschende Rezertifizierung freuen. Nebenbei wird diese Expertiseabgerundet, durch die Tatsache, dass die Schule eines von 3 Gymnasien mit einemeigenen MINT-Zweig, also mit Informatik als eigenständigem Unterrichtsfach abKlassenstufe 8 sowie Leistungs- und Grundkursen in der gymnasialen Oberstufeund im Abitur ist. Als logische Folgerung kann man inLebach auch in Sachen IT-Infrastruktur stolz auf das erreichte sein. Die Schuleverfügt zudem seit über 15 Jahren über eine Amateurfunkstation (DL0JKG) undführt regelmäßig MINT-Forschungsprojekte wie Stratosphärenballonstarts oderRaketenprojekte durch. Daher freuen wir uns außerordentlich,mit unserem Landsmann Matthias Mauer live während des Überfluges des ISSsprechen zu dürfen, um so unsere Schüler für den MINT-Bereich motivieren zukönnen und ein unvergessliches Ereignis bei den Lernenden zu hinterlassen, vondem sie noch lange schwärmen dürften. Translation The JohannesKepler (JKG) high school is one of only three high schools, in the Lebach area,with a STEM department and also provides IT and digital technologies programs.JKG partners with the global player Bosch GmbHHomburg, Environmental Campus Birkenfeld (EBC), as well as local firms likeKrämer-IT. JKG teaches IT as an independent subject starting from grade 8 throughthe students’ a-level exams in advanced and honors courses. Student activitiesinclude amateur radio, operating the school’s amateur radio station (DL0JKG), and launching high-altitude balloons and model rockets.
