ARISS event -SRJC Day Under the Oaks, Santa Rosa, California USA, Sunday (May 06) 16:48 UTC
by Ransom, Kenneth G. (JSC-OC)[BAR] 26 Aug '07

26 Aug '07

An International Space Station Expedition 15 ARISS school contact has been planned with participants at the SRJC Day Under the Oaks in Santa Rosa, California USA on 06 May. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 16:48 UTC. The contact will be a direct between stations NA1SS and W6SRJ. The contact should be audible in western portions of North America. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The participants are expected to conduct the conversation in English. Santa Rosa Junior College is home to 40,000 students in the California wine country of Sonoma County. We're located approximately 38 miles north of San Francisco. We are fortunate and proud to be the home of W6SRJ - one of the telebridge stations for ISS school contacts. Day Under the Oaks is our annual open house for prospective students, teachers, and the community. The event attracts over 10,000 visitors and is held on the beautiful 110 acre main campus which has hundreds of majestic oak trees with classic ivy covered brick buildings. Some of the oaks and other tree specimens were planted by renowned botanist Luther Burbank. Day Under the Oaks (DUO) includes demonstrations for students of all ages, including a robot competition, building computer models, shows in our planetarium and tours of the W6SRJ telebridge station. DUO attendees explore SRJC's outstanding instructional program exhibits and demonstrations and a festive array of other colorful activities, plus sample the delicious array of food prepared by student clubs! At Day Under the Oaks you can visit the stunning world class Pomo basket collection in the Jesse Peter Museum and watch the colorful Native American dancers or the dramatic Chinese Dragon Dance Troup. Other activities include a children's theatre, sports clinics and fencing and karate competitions, and dazzling magic shows in the Chemistry Lab. Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows: 1. What kind of research will be done on the space station (ISS) once it is completed in 2010? 2. What challenges do you face while you're in space without any gravity? 3. You participated in the Anomalous Long Term Effects on Astronauts Experiment - Have you seen the results of this experiment yet and what could be the cause of the light flashes? 4. What has been the most exciting part of the Expedition 15? What has been the least exciting? 5. Describe what you like best about being in space? 6. How long did it take you to adjust to microgravity? How long will it take you to re-adjust to earth's gravity when you return? 7. We visited NASA in Houston last month and saw the astronaut training area. What are some differences between training here and doing the real thing up in space? 8. I'm entering a robotics contest today. Do you think my interest in robotics will help me become an astronaut? 9. What do you enjoy most about your current mission? 10. What type of projects or experiments are they working on right now? 11. Since you hold records for number of spacewalks and total time spent on spacewalks by a woman, can you tell us about what kind of jobs you perform while on your spacewalks? 12. How long does it take to reach your destination in space from the time you leave earth? 13. I understand that the ISS is noisy inside - how high is the noise level and why is it so noisy? 14. Was it more or less effort to run the Boston Marathon from Space? 15. What type of exercises do you do in space so that you don't lose muscle tone? 16. What did you like best about your training? What did you like the least? 17. Have you ever seen satellites or "space junk" from the space shuttle or the space station? If so, what have you seen? 18. How many years of schooling did it take you to become an astronaut? 19. What was one of your most interesting moments in space? 20. For fun, do you ever run up the walls and do stunts like in the Matrix movie? Please note, the amateur equipment on the ISS is not functioning in the automatic modes properly and may be silent more than usual. Information about the next scheduled ARISS contact can be found at http://www.rac.ca/ariss/upcoming.htm#NextContact . Next planned event(s): Sunset Mesa Schools, Albuquerque, New Mexico, direct via W5SCA, Wed 2007-05-09 14:39 UTC Escola Secundaria de Estarreja, Estarreja, Portugal, direct via CT6ESE, Wed 2007-05-09 14:58 UTC ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the participating space agencies, NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA, with the AMSAT and IARU organizations from participating countries. ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board the International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters' interest in science, technology, and learning. Further information on the ARISS program is available on the website http://www.rac.ca/ariss (graciously hosted by the Radio Amateurs of Canada). Thank you & 73, Kenneth - N5VHO

Ferry-Flight Set for Sunday

30 Jun '07

SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR N1ORC - AMSAT A/C #31468 *Ferry-Flight Set for Sunday* *06.30.07 12:45 p.m. EDT* (1645 UTC) Early Sunday morning, Space Shuttle Atlantis will begin its journey back to Kennedy Space Center "piggy-backed" on top of a modified 747 jetliner called the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft <http://www.nasa.gov/returntoflight/crew/ferryflight.html>. Known as a ferry-flight, the orbiter will make the trip from Edwards Air Force Base in California to Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility in one to two days, depending on weather conditions. Atlantis landed at Edwards concluding a successful assembly mission to the International Space Station with Commander Rick Sturckow and Pilot Lee Archambault at the controls. Atlantis landed at 3:49 p.m. EDT on June 22. The STS-117 mission astronauts returned to Johnson Space Center on Saturday, June 23. Their return was marked by a traditional welcome home ceremony at Ellington Field in Houston. The STS-117 crew began its mission June 8 and arrived at the station June 10. They quickly began work to install the Starboard 3 and 4 (S3/S4) truss structure to the outpost and retracted a set of arrays on the Port 6 (P6) truss. The (S3/S4) contains a new set of solar arrays that increases station power-generation capabilities. The P6 will be relocated during a future assembly mission. Mission Specialists Patrick Forrester, John "Danny" Olivas, Jim Reilly and Steven Swanson conducted a total of four spacewalks to activate the S3/S4 and to retract the P6 arrays. During the third spacewalk, Olivas repaired an out of position thermal blanket on the left orbital maneuvering system pod. Landing also marked the end of a record-setting spaceflight by Mission Specialist Suni Williams. She broke the record for the longest spaceflight by a woman and she also became the record-holder for the most hours outside a spacecraft by a female, completing four spacewalks during Expedition 14. Williams' journey began in December with the launch of STS-116. She lived on the space station for six months before switching places on the STS-117 crew with Clayton Anderson, who is now a flight engineer on the station. When Atlantis landed, she had accumulated 194 days, 18 hours and 58 minutes during her spaceflight. STS-117 is the 118th shuttle mission and 21st mission to visit the space station. The next mission, STS-118, is slated to launch in August.

SUBMITTED BY ARTHUR N1ORC - AMSAT A/C #31468 Station Crew Back to Business The space station’s newest member, Flight Engineer Clayton Anderson, is busy at work with his Expedition 15 crewmates Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin and Flight Engineer Oleg Kotov. Anderson replaced Suni Williams who returned home Friday, June 22, aboard space shuttle Atlantis after a 195-day stay in space. Williams stayed in space longer than any woman before her. She and her shuttle crewmates returned to Houston the day after Atlantis landed at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. Meanwhile, science and maintenance continue aboard the International Space Station. Anderson has been taking blood and urine samples to study nutritional countermeasures to the effects of microgravity. Yurchikhin and Kotov have been working on a communications system in the Zvezda service module and reconfiguring a toilet in the docked Soyuz vehicle among other tasks. + Read more about Expedition 15 <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition15/index.ht…> + View crew daily timelines <http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/timelines/index.html>
