An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Collège Jean Charcot, Saint Malo, France on 08 Dec. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:19 UTC. It is recommended that you start listening approximately 10 minutes before this time.The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a telebridge between OR4ISS and IK1SLD. 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 French.
St Malo is a city of north Brittany, surrounded by ramparts since the 12th century, famous for the corsair sailor merchants during the 17th century.
The college Jean Charcot is named after the famous early 20th century Polar explorer.
Since 3 years, the 8th / 9th grade students could follow a Science option at the college including:
Mathematics and physics through the solar system, stars and spectrum analysis, tidal phenomena, Philae lander and comets, global earth warming, phytoplankton effect on climate, astronomy.
By participating to the ARISS project, teachers hope to make students open to science or exploration, and proud to follow their famous "malouins" predecessors like Jacques Cartier, Pierre Louis de Maupertuis or Robert Surcouf.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Quelle est l'heure de référence à bord?
2. Fabriquez-vous vous-même votre dioxygène ou avez-vous des réserves?
3. Comment faites-vous si quelqu'un se blesse gravement dans la station?
4. Sur quoi portent vos expériences actuellement?
5. Avez-vous fait des découvertes?
6. Peut-il y avoir de la buée dans votre casque?
7. La gravité est-elle constante dans l'ISS durant sa révolution?
8. Comment ressentez-vous physiologiquement la variation de gravité entre
laTerre et l'ISS?
9. L'eau que vous consommez est-elle recyclée ou provient-elle de stocks?
10. Où en est-on sur les expériences concernant le caisson d'habitation
gonflable?
11. A part la Terre, que pouvez-vous observer dans l'espace depuis l'ISS?
Voyez-vous des étoiles?
12. Quelle est la plus belle chose que vous ayez vue?
13. Quelle température fait-il dans l'ISS et dans l'espace?
14. Au bout de combien de temps pouvez-vous marcher normalement lorsque vous
revenez sur Terre?
15. Y a-t-il des étapes importantes à gérer lors de votre retour sur Terre
dans la capsule Soyouz?
16. Comment savez-vous que la nuit est tombée?
17. Comment faites-vous si vous perdez la liaison radio avec la Terre?
18. Lors d'une sortie dans l'espace, combien de temps d'autonomie avez-vous?
19. Comment faites-vous pour vous nourrir, faites-vous des cultures?
20. Comment savez-vous que vous êtes à l'envers ou à l'endroit dans l'ISS?

to Earth in Capsule Soyuz?
16. How do you know when night has fallen?
17. What do you do if you lose the radio connection with Earth?
18. When you go into space, how long can you stay there? How much autonomy
do you have?

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,
