An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Nagoya Technical High School, Nagoya, Japan on 13 Aug. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:23 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between NA1SS and JA2YNI. The contact should be audible over Japan and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.

Nagoya Technical High School was founded in 1920. Since then, for over 90 years, we have been consistently devoted to industrial education and developed as a general industrial high school with 5 departments (Architecture, Civil Engineering, Electrical, Information Technology and Mechanical).

And we have amateur radio school club whose call sign is JA2YNI and we are learning much knowledge of science and engineering through various experiments.

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

1. What did you do at first when you arrived at ISS?

2. Did you have any difficulties in space?

3. How many times do you change your orbit due to rubbish or meteorite in a

day?

4. Have you ever received any electric waves from space.

5. What is the most fearful experience in space?

6. What is the temperature in your station?

7. How long do you sleep in ISS?

8. Do you exercise in ISS?

9. What is your favorite space diet?

10. What kind of experiments are you doing?

11. What is the most beautiful thing in space?

12. What do you want to do after you back home?

13. How do you extinguish a fire?

14. Which country is the standard of your watch?

15. What kind of amusements are you enjoying on the ISS?

16. How is the taste of space food there?

17. Did your height grow?

18. Did you get injured in space?

19. What kind of entertainment is there?

20. How many kinds of space food there?

21. Would you like to go back to the earth or stay in ISS?

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,
