Folks,

Despite the UK being in the grip of the worst snow for nearly 20 years, the UK ARISS team of Carlos Eavis G0AKI, Howard Long G6LVB and assisted by Ciaran Morgan (M0XTD) helped pull of a stunning direct contact between Sandra Magnus on board the ISS using callsign OR4ISS and Pilton The Bluecoat Primary School in Barnstable, England (callsign G0NPV) on Friday 6th February at 1452hrs UTC.

Contact was established right on time and the children at Pilton managed to get all 20 questions asked with no difficulty. The replies from Sandra where heard over most of Western Europe.

Videos of the contact can be found at
