An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at European High School - Brindisi, Brindisi, Italy and I.I.S.S. "Majorana - Laterza", Putignano, Italy on 13 Nov. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:18 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 NA1SS and K6DUE. The contact should be audible over the east coast of the U.S. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in Italian.

European High School - Brindisi

The European High School, which emphasizes a multilingual and multicultural pedagogical approach, is the result of a systematic process of reflection, training and research, through its teaching and educational activity. Age 14-19.

This school:

. intends to be socially recognized as having a strong educational role

. aspires to become a pole of reference in the territory and point of

reference to its development culturally.

. strongly pursues European educational policies

. believes that « ETICA DEL DAR CONTO » is an indispensable requirement

for a public institution

. specializes the training offer by promoting excellence

. innovates the education delivery using technology

The mission of the School is described in the following purposes:

- Developing aware, responsible and liberal European citizens;

- support effective training processes capable of mobilizing the skills

and talents of young people by making them responsible for their own

formative processes and aware of their learning processes.

- encouraging amongst the students the development of a critical spirit

that allows for understanding and interpreting complexities of the

past, present, and their future relationships.

- characterizing the educational system in a European key, making it

possible to promote mobility.

I.I.S.S. "Majorana - Laterza"

Liceo "Majorana-Laterza" is a mixed school, with approximately 1,000 students aged 14 to 19. It offers four specializations:

?LICEO CLASSICO, which focuses on classical studies and humanities.

?LICEO SCIENTIFICO, which explores the links between humanities

and scientific knowledge.

?LICEO SCIENTIFICO - APPLIED SCIENCES, which offers the opportunity to

acquire advanced skills in science and technology,

especially in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry,

Biology, Earth Sciences, Information Technology

and their application.

?LICEO LINGUISTICO, which specializes in modern languages and cultures.

All our students, regardless of their specialization, show a keen interest in science, as demonstrated by the fact that every year many of them choose to attend university faculties in the field of scientific studies, especially Engineering (including Aerospace Engineering) and Physics. Age 14-19.

Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:

1. Si sta pensando di modificare le cellule umane per creare esseri

umani biologicamente adatti alla sopravvivenza su altri pianeti?

particolari microbi nell'esperimento BioRock?

15: Quali esperimenti sull'ISS stanno contribuendo a una possibile

colonizzazione di Marte? E quanto è distante da noi questo evento?

16. Quale attività umane contribuiscono al riscaldamento globale?

17. Grazie all'esperimento Grip, vi sono state delle innovazioni a

livello delle costruzioni delle protesi?

18. Quali cambiamenti ha osservato nel pianeta terra dal suo primo

viaggio nello spazio ad oggi?

19. Grazie ai monitor Dosis-3D per la radiazione passiva, si è riusciti

a capire quanto e in che modo siano effettivamente pericolosi le

radiazioni spaziali?

20. Secondo lei, con quale scenario si interfacceranno le generazioni

future?

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 ISS National Lab 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 public forms. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org.

Thank you & 73,

David - AA4KN
