An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Liceo Scientifico 'Francesco Cecioni", Livorno, Italy and Liceo Artistico Melotti, Lomazzo, Italy on 3 Nov. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:27 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between IR0ISS and IQ5LI. The contact should be audible over Italy and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in Italian.
The liceo scientifico "Francesco Cecioni" in Livorno is a high school with about 1200 students. The school was born in 1972 as a subsidiary but in 1974 already got its own identity for the experimental and innovative methods introduced as response to the demanding instruction innovation. Since 2010 the school has four specializations: scientific, linguistic, artistic and humanistic; the half of the students follow the scientific specialization. From the '80s, Liceo Cecioni sent its representatives to the final rounds of the national competition in math and physics. At present, astrophysics is the topic of the "Astrolab" program, reserved for the best students of the school and organized in collaboration with a network that includes: TNG at Las Palmas (Canary), Pisa and Pavia University, Arcetri Observatory (Florence) and S.Marcello Pistoiese Observatory (Pistoia). The deep involvement in the "Zero Robotics" competition has increased the interest of the students in the space research.
Liceo Artistico "Melotti" in Lomazzo (Como) is arts high school addresses the study of aesthetic phenomena and artistic practice. It promotes the acquisition of specific methods of research and artistic production and the competence of related languages and techniques. It provides students with the tools necessary to know the artistic heritage in its historical and cultural context and to fully appreciate its presence and value in today's society. It helps students to deepen and develop their knowledge and competences and to mature the skills necessary to give expression to their creativity and design skills in the field of arts. (Age 14-18)

About ARISS:
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or informal education venues. With the help of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with large audiences in a variety of public forums. Before and during these radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,
