An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Ugo Guidi, Forte dei Marmi, Lucca, Italy on 23 July. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 19:35 UTC.
The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds.
The contact will be direct between OR4ISS and IQ5VR. The contact should be audible over Italy. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
The participation of 1st grade Ugo Guidi school was the result of a misfortune that recently struck the town of Viareggio. On the evening of June 29, 2009, a train carrying liquid petroleum gas derailed while approaching the Viareggio railway station. The explosion following caused much devastation to the area. The Viani School, located only a few hundred meters from the blast, was on the ARISS waiting list. They were not able to host the event after all because the explosion struck relatives and friends of some members of the school team. The local Amateur Radio Club Station staff (ARI Versilia) IQ5VR has provided the technical support for this event at Ugo Guidi instead, complying with all requirements for the ARISS event. Students are aged 6-11 (primary) and 12-14 (secondary).
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How important is the amateur radio station on board the ISS?
2. What projects do you carry out on board the International Space Station?
3. Who pays for all the costs of the ISS' project?
4. What is it like living in a small place like the space shuttle for a few
days?
5. Would you like to participate in a journey to the Moon?
6. What does the ISS inside smell like?
7. Is there a magnetic field in the ISS' orbit?
8. Can you breathe normally on board the ISS?
9. How do you cope with the alternation of day and night every 45 minutes?
10. How long did the training last in order to participate in this mission?
11. What do you do if you get sick in Space?
12. What do your family and your friends think about your job?
13. What is the most dangerous moment during the mission, the take-off or the
landing?
14. What do you eat and drink?
15. Would it be possible to produce artificial gravity on the ISS?
16. Is it difficult and dangerous to pass through the atmosphere before
landing?
17. Is the perception of time onboard the ISS the same as on Earth?
18. What was the most spectacular moment during your stay in Space?
19. How often can you communicate with your family on Earth?
20. What does it feel like to live without gravity?
Information about the upcoming ARISS contacts can be found at http://www.ariss.org/upcoming.htm#NextContact.
Next planned event(s):
TBD
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.ariss.org/ (graciously hosted by the Radio Amateurs of Canada).

Ugo Guidi in Forte dei Marmi, Lucca, Italy has been scheduled for an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact on Thursday, July 23 at 19:35 UTC.
2. ARISS Contact with Campus Saffraanberg Belgian Defence
On Friday, July 17, an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact was held between Campus Saffraanberg Belgian Defence in Sint Truiden, Limburg and Frank De Winne, ON1DWN on the ISS. The scheduled pass for Campus Saffraanberg was cancelled at the last minute due to STS-127 related tasks. It was re-scheduled for the following pass during which De Winne answered 20 questions posed by the students. Approximately 100 guests were in attendance. The contact was webcast and media covering the event included several newspapers, radio and television stations and the Belgian Army TV Service.
3. ARISS Contact Held with Octave Chanute Air Museum
An Amateur Radio International Space Station (ARISS) school contact was successfully sponsored for participants at the Scout Space Jamboree, at Octave Chanute Air Museum, Rantoul, Illinois on Sunday July 19. The event was audible over portions of North and South America. The Chanute Air Museum preserves, exhibits and interprets aviation and aerospace artifacts that relate to the life and accomplishments of Octave Chanute, Chanute Field/Chanute Air Force Base and its technical training programs, the history of military aviation and Illinois aviation. The museum reaches out to youth with Aviation Camp and this year it hosted its first "Space Jam Enterprise 2009" for Boy and Girl Scouts. The Space Jam team believes that the "space climb" has only just begun! Space Jam is all about exposing pre-college youth to technology, its excitement, and the people embarked on such an adventure. With luck new youth will choose to set sail to careers, hobbies, and providing support to bring the world closer to the next step in the climb!
4. ARISS Contact - European Special Event
On Sunday, July 19, European Special Event, Eichenlaubschule Weiskirchen in Saarland, Germany experienced an Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) contact via telebridge station ON4ISS in Belgium. An audience of about 130 people watched as ESA astronaut Frank De Winne, ON1DWN, answered 18 questions put to him by students from Weiskirchen and Luxemburg. The State Secretary of Economy and Science, Dr. Christian Ege, addressed the audience before the contact. The event was covered by the mass media: Saarländischer Rundfunk (radio broadcast and television), Saarbrücker Zeitung (newspaper) and Concept-TV (local TV production).
5. ARISS Student Wins Newsline Youth Ham of the Year Award
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Team member Nick Lance, KC5KBO, who does ham radio mentoring of students at his local school, was pleased to learn that his student, Andrew Koenig, KE5GDB, has won the Newsline Youth Ham of the Year Award. ARISS was one of the main motivators for Andrew to study for his license, and to stay licensed. He continued his interest in space by helping with ARISS contacts and by being active in ham satellite operations.

Hello
Please join us in listening to two contacts on Sunday 19th July.
1. Scout Space Jamboree, Chanute Air Museum, Rantoul, Illinois at 15:51
UTC. This will be a telebridge and the ground station is LU8YY.
2. EU Special Event, Weiskirchen, Germany at 17:54 UTC. This will be a
telebridge and the ground station will be ON4ISS.
Audio from these contacts will be fed into the IRLP 'Discovery' Reflector
(9010) and the EchoLink *AMSAT* (101377) and *JK1ZRW* (277208) servers.
IRLP and Echolink audio is generally transmitted around 15 minutes prior to
the contact taking place so that you can hear some of the preparation that
occurs.
Please note that on Echolink there are automatic breaks of 1.5 seconds in
the audio transmission. These occur every 2.5 minutes during the event.
For your information, when any ARISS event is supported through the IRLP
"Discovery" Reflector 9010, audio is also automatically streamed to the
Internet.
It is then available via the 'Discovery' Reflector's companion web site
www.discoveryreflector.ca . Once on its main page, select "Audio Library"
(left sidebar). The prompt to join the audio stream is posted at the top of
this page. You can access the URL directly at
www.discoveryreflector.ca:8000/listen.pls
The audio on the Internet is typically delayed by about two minutes.
