An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Istituto Tecnico Tecnologico "Enzo Ferrari", Borgo A Mozzano, Italy and Liceo Statale "G. D. Cassini", Sanremo, Italy on 28 Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 08:13 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between NA1SS and IQ5LU and IQ1SM. 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. HAM TV is planned for this contact.

"Enzo Ferrari" Institute is located in Borgo a Mozzano, Lucca and is one by four schools of "Barga" Institute in Lucca, Tuscany.

"Enzo Ferrari" Institute is a secondary technical chemical school where teaching is focused on scientific subjects: math, physics, chemistry, biology and natural sciences.

The ARISS Chemistry space project will be an essential part of the School Curriculum - POF- (Annual educational plan) of the next school years and will involve students of the first and second classes, for the two year period 2016 - 2018 (10 classes, 200 students, 14-19).

The High School G.D. Cassini of Sanremo is part of the higher education school system of the Italian Republic and is located in Sanremo. The Institute is named the scientist "Gian Domenico Cassini", as well as the Cassini-Huygens Mission. Our School is considered to be one of the most ancient Italian higher education schools, its foundation being established in 1859 during the Savoy monarchy. Three study specializations are available: classical, scientific and linguistic. At the end of this type of school, lasting five years, students who pass the State Exam can access any university departments. (1100 students, 14-19).

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,
