For all of you Ice Pilots TV show fans, the first episode of season 5 is
scheduled to have some of an ARISS contact that occurred a few months back.
Depending on where you are located, the times and cable TV providers may
change.
History Channel is airing the show for the first time Wednesday October 23
at 22:00 EDT or Thursday October 24 at 02:00 UTC.
Below are several on-line links to where you can watch it:
http://www.icepilots.com/episodes.phphttp://www.icepilots.com/episode5_1.php
If you are in Australia, apparently the History Channel is available via
Pay-TV.
Below is word from Canadian ARISS mentor Steve McFarlane VE3TBD about this:
Wednesday Oct 23, 2013 – Season Premiere of Reality TV Show Ice Pilots
will feature the ARISS program – Amateur Radio on The International Space
Station.
I/we do not know the full details of what will be included in this episode
but we understand a Radio contact with Chris Hadfield will be shown that
involves the Canadian mentors that undertake and support these events all
across Canada.
This team, are made up of Teacher Lori McFarlane, technical coordination
Claude Lacasse and program mentor Steve McFarlane VE3TBD all located in
Ottawa but were on site during this contact from Hay river. Remotely located
but very much a part of this event include Teacher Mentor Brian Jackson
VE6JBJ in Calgary and fellow Canadian mentor Wayne Harasimovitch VE1WPH located
in Halifax.
As mentioned, exact content of the show is not known but we do know a
production team from Omni productions recorded the entire presentation and
event at the Hay River Public School near Yellowknife. As well, Omni
productions did receive the entire video from the ISS showing Chris Hadfield
answering questions during the same event. Other video including setup, meeting the
show “stars” etc., was recorded but again, we are not certain of the
inclusions on the show.
All audio during the event was made available and Omni productions have a
copy of that – this includes the Telebridge track.
All we can hope is that ARISS is well represented and the program receives
some well-deserved recognition. I was alerted that this is a reality TV
show and almost anything can be broadcast. We are at the mercy of the
producers and editors of the show – as they indicated to us – this is about
Buffalo Airlines. My final comment to the producer, this show and the space
program are linked in ways that are sometimes difficult to understand but it is
clear that early aviation pioneers from all over the world, which Buffalo
epitomizes, led to what we know today as the Space Program – ARISS is about
making our youth believe anything is possible so when they say this is
about Buffalo Airlines what they are really saying, this is about how we
started our journey to the stars.
History Channel is showing for the first time Wednesday October 23 at
22:00hrs. This is the 5th season of ice pilots and I understand some of you may
only be on season 4 at this point. Within a few days, it might be
available elsewhere.

US Hams, don’t forget that there is a new process for US school proposals.
For US schools to have an ARISS contact, they must fill out a proposal,
submit it to NASA, and see if they are approved or not. Once a school is
approved and put on the list, an ARISS mentor will be assigned to assist the
school.
NASA will have two open windows a year for schools to submit a proposal.
The window for contacts during the second half of 2012 has already closed.
Look for the window for first half 2013 contacts later this year. You
must go through NASA to get the proposal material. Contact Teaching From
Space, a NASA Education office, at JSC-TFS-ARISS(a)mail.nasa.gov or by calling
them at (281) 244-2320.
The following US states and entities have never had an ARISS contact:
Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont,
West Virginia, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands,
and the Virgin Islands.

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Wallingford STEM Academy/Town of Wallingford, Wallingford,
CT on 31 Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:45 UTC.
The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between NA1SS and K1SEZ. The contact should be
audible over the east coast of the U.S. 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.
Wallingford STEM Academy is a community based and family oriented
organization that excites students about science, technology, engineering
and mathematics. This program, previously known as the Young Astronaut
Club of Wallingford and founded in 2000, has been providing STEM enrichment
for students in grades 4 through 8 for over thirteen years through
Wallingford Youth and Social Services.
The Wallingford STEM Academy is a collaborative partnership between the
Spanish Community of Wallingford (SCOW), the Town of Wallingford Youth and
Social Services Department (WYSS), the Wallingford Education Association
(WEA). STEM Academy branches in Wallingford, and Hamden, are the flagship
programs for CEA’s STEM Education Initiative. We currently serve the
Spanish Community of Wallingford (SCOW) and the general population. 40% of
our STEM Enrichment Academy is comprised of students from the Spanish
community and 40 % of our students are girls interested in STEM education. Our
weekly meetings are conducted at the Spanish Community of Wallingford Great
Room and in our STEM Education Classroom next to SCOW.
Since 2005, a companion project to Wallingford STEM Enrichment Academy is
the Wallingford Family Science and STEM Night Series. At least twice a
month, we organize and implement family oriented Science and STEM Family
Nights in Wallingford. These events range from evening programs, daytime
vacation programs, hands-on investigations, assembly style programs, and
night sky observations. The purpose of this organization is to deepen
student, and family, understanding of STEM concepts as a compliment to an
existing inquiry based STEM curriculum in Wallingford. Our major funders
for both STEM Academy and Wallingford Family STEM Nights are the
Wallingford Rotary Club’s Wallingford Foundation, 3M Charitable
Contributions and the Connecticut Education Association.
For more information regarding STEM Academy and Wallingford Family STEM
Nights, please contact Christopher Stone at
ctfamilysciencenights(a)gmail.comor by phone at 203.294.2175
(Wallingford Youth and Social Services).
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What do you think is the most interesting part of the ISS?
2. Do you have specific clothes that you need to wear when not in
uniform?
3. Do you come in contact with any robots made by NASA?
4. Do you celebrate holidays while in the ISS?
5. We know there are some negative effects in zero gravity. What are you
doing to prevent these negative effects?
6. How do you brush your teeth in space?
7. How far away from earth does "no gravity" actually kick in?
8. What is your research on the ISS?
9. Is it easy to move around in your spacesuit during a spacewalk?
10. How do you keep your supplies replenished? Do you ever run out?
11. What was the most difficult part of your training?
12. For the female astronaut, do you have to wear your hair in a ponytail?
13. How do you make food in outer space?
14. Do you age quicker while you are in space?
15. What's the hardest part of spending time on the space station?
16. Are you allowed to talk with your family when you are in space?
17. What does spending time in microgravity feel like?
18. What happens when you cry in space?
19. If something went wrong on a spacewalk, would you have enough time to
get back in the ISS?
20. Do you have a ranking system on the ISS?

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Kopernik Observatory & Science Center (KOSC), Vestal, NY on
30 Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 16:32 UTC. The
duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be direct between NA1SS and K2ZRO. The contact should be
audible over the east coast of the U.S. 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.
The Kopernik Observatory & Science Center (KOSC) is a non-profit learning
institution that promotes interdisciplinary education in the fields of
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). Through its
classes, events and programs, KOSC’s multigenerational approach emphasizes
experiential, engaged and active learning as a model of STEM education in
our region.
Founded in 1973, KOSC has offered hundred of thousands of students of all
ages the opportunity to learn about their world and the universe
surrounding them. Kopernik’s resources include three permanent telescopes,
a heliostat, weather station, three classrooms, photography lab, computer
lab and amateur radio station. It also offers a robust outreach program
where its educators go to schools to bring its programs directly into the
classroom.
KOSC has partnered with Binghamton High School, in Binghamton NY, to offer
their students a series of classes and labs on topics such as radio
communication, satellite orbits, astronomy and life on the International
Space Station (ISS). Those classes and labs will help the students
understand and prepare for the capstone event: a direct radio contact
between the Amateur Radio Station at KOSC and an astronaut on the ISS. During
that event those students will have the opportunity to directly ask an
astronaut on the ISS a wide range of questions about life on the ISS and
Space Exploration.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What inspired you to become an astronaut?
2. How do the stars look from space? Are they brighter or do they look
the
same?
3. What do you love the most about being in space that you never expected?
4. While in space is it more stressful physically or mentally?
5. Where do you see human exploration of space going in the next 50 years?
6. Tell us about your training/education to become an astronaut?
7. Did you have any fears/concerns when you first went to the ISS?
8. What do you miss most about being on earth that you never expected to
miss at all?
9. What happens if you become ill on the space station?
10. What challenges do you find in living in 0g environment?
11. What is the food like on ISS?
12. How do you go to the bathroom and where does it go? Is it
uncomfortable
to go to the bathroom in space?
13 How much of the natural disasters taking place on Earth, such as
forest
fires in California or flooding in Colorado are visible from space?
14 On the ISS have you see or witnessed anything particularly peculiar?
15 Do you have any free time? What do you do for fun?

Below is word from Canadian ARISS mentor Steve McFarlane VE3TBD about this:
Wednesday Oct 23, 2013 – Season Premiere of Reality TV Show Ice Pilots
will feature the ARISS program – Amateur Radio on The International Space
Station.
I/we do not know the full details of what will be included in this episode
but we understand a Radio contact with Chris Hadfield will be shown that
involves the Canadian mentors that undertake and support these events all
across Canada.
This team, are made up of Teacher Lori McFarlane, technical coordination
Claude Lacasse and program mentor Steve McFarlane VE3TBD all located in
Ottawa but were on site during this contact from Hay river. Remotely located
but very much a part of this event include Teacher Mentor Brian Jackson
VE6JBJ in Calgary and fellow Canadian mentor Wayne Harasimovitch VE1WPH located
in Halifax.
As mentioned, exact content of the show is not known but we do know a
production team from Omni productions recorded the entire presentation and
event at the Hay River Public School near Yellowknife. As well, Omni
productions did receive the entire video from the ISS showing Chris Hadfield
answering questions during the same event. Other video including setup, meeting the
show “stars” etc., was recorded but again, we are not certain of the
inclusions on the show.
All audio during the event was made available and Omni productions have a
copy of that – this includes the Telebridge track.
All we can hope is that ARISS is well represented and the program receives
some well-deserved recognition. I was alerted that this is a reality TV
show and almost anything can be broadcast. We are at the mercy of the
producers and editors of the show – as they indicated to us – this is about
Buffalo Airlines. My final comment to the producer, this show and the space
program are linked in ways that are sometimes difficult to understand but it is
clear that early aviation pioneers from all over the world, which Buffalo
epitomizes, led to what we know today as the Space Program – ARISS is about
making our youth believe anything is possible so when they say this is
about Buffalo Airlines what they are really saying, this is about how we
started our journey to the stars.
History Channel is showing for the first time Wednesday October 23 at
22:00hrs. This is the 5th season of ice pilots and I understand some of you may
only be on season 4 at this point. Within a few days, it might be
available elsewhere.

US Hams, don’t forget that there is a new process for US school proposals.
For US schools to have an ARISS contact, they must fill out a proposal,
submit it to NASA, and see if they are approved or not. Once a school is
approved and put on the list, an ARISS mentor will be assigned to assist the
school.
NASA will have two open windows a year for schools to submit a proposal.
The window for contacts during the second half of 2012 has already closed.
Look for the window for first half 2013 contacts later this year. You
must go through NASA to get the proposal material. Contact Teaching From
Space, a NASA Education office, at JSC-TFS-ARISS(a)mail.nasa.gov or by calling
them at (281) 244-2320.
The following US states and entities have never had an ARISS contact:
Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont,
West Virginia, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands,
and the Virgin Islands.

For all of you Ice Pilots TV show fans, the first episode of season 5 is
scheduled to have some of an ARISS contact that occurred a few months back.
Depending on where you are located, the times and cable TV providers may
change.
History Channel is airing the show for the first time Wednesday October 23
at 22:00 EDT or Thursday October 24 at 02:00 UTC.
Below are several on-line links to where you can watch it:
http://www.icepilots.com/episodes.phphttp://www.icepilots.com/episode5_1.php
If you are in Australia, apparently the History Channel is available via
Pay-TV.
Below is word from Canadian ARISS mentor Steve McFarlane VE3TBD about this:
Wednesday Oct 23, 2013 – Season Premiere of Reality TV Show Ice Pilots
will feature the ARISS program – Amateur Radio on The International Space
Station.
I/we do not know the full details of what will be included in this episode
but we understand a Radio contact with Chris Hadfield will be shown that
involves the Canadian mentors that undertake and support these events all
across Canada.
This team, are made up of Teacher Lori McFarlane, technical coordination
Claude Lacasse and program mentor Steve McFarlane VE3TBD all located in
Ottawa but were on site during this contact from Hay river. Remotely located
but very much a part of this event include Teacher Mentor Brian Jackson
VE6JBJ in Calgary and fellow Canadian mentor Wayne Harasimovitch VE1WPH located
in Halifax.
As mentioned, exact content of the show is not known but we do know a
production team from Omni productions recorded the entire presentation and
event at the Hay River Public School near Yellowknife. As well, Omni
productions did receive the entire video from the ISS showing Chris Hadfield
answering questions during the same event. Other video including setup, meeting the
show “stars” etc., was recorded but again, we are not certain of the
inclusions on the show.
All audio during the event was made available and Omni productions have a
copy of that – this includes the Telebridge track.
All we can hope is that ARISS is well represented and the program receives
some well-deserved recognition. I was alerted that this is a reality TV
show and almost anything can be broadcast. We are at the mercy of the
producers and editors of the show – as they indicated to us – this is about
Buffalo Airlines. My final comment to the producer, this show and the space
program are linked in ways that are sometimes difficult to understand but it is
clear that early aviation pioneers from all over the world, which Buffalo
epitomizes, led to what we know today as the Space Program – ARISS is about

VE6JBJ in Calgary and fellow Canadian mentor Wayne Harasimovitch VE1WPH located
in Halifax.
As mentioned, exact content of the show is not known but we do know a
production team from Omni productions recorded the entire presentation and
event at the Hay River Public School near Yellowknife. As well, Omni
productions did receive the entire video from the ISS showing Chris Hadfield
answering questions during the same event. Other video including setup, meeting the
show “stars” etc., was recorded but again, we are not certain of the
inclusions on the show.
All audio during the event was made available and Omni productions have a
copy of that – this includes the Telebridge track.
All we can hope is that ARISS is well represented and the program receives
some well-deserved recognition. I was alerted that this is a reality TV
show and almost anything can be broadcast. We are at the mercy of the
producers and editors of the show – as they indicated to us – this is about
Buffalo Airlines. My final comment to the producer, this show and the space
program are linked in ways that are sometimes difficult to understand but it is
clear that early aviation pioneers from all over the world, which Buffalo
epitomizes, led to what we know today as the Space Program – ARISS is about
making our youth believe anything is possible so when they say this is
about Buffalo Airlines what they are really saying, this is about how we
started our journey to the stars.
History Channel is showing for the first time Wednesday October 23 at
22:00hrs. This is the 5th season of ice pilots and I understand some of you may
only be on season 4 at this point. Within a few days, it might be
available elsewhere.

US Hams, don’t forget that there is a new process for US school proposals.
For US schools to have an ARISS contact, they must fill out a proposal,
submit it to NASA, and see if they are approved or not. Once a school is
approved and put on the list, an ARISS mentor will be assigned to assist the
school.
NASA will have two open windows a year for schools to submit a proposal.
The window for contacts during the second half of 2012 has already closed.
Look for the window for first half 2013 contacts later this year. You
must go through NASA to get the proposal material. Contact Teaching From
Space, a NASA Education office, at JSC-TFS-ARISS(a)mail.nasa.gov or by calling
them at (281) 244-2320.
The following US states and entities have never had an ARISS contact:
Arkansas, Delaware, Kansas, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont,
West Virginia, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, and
the Virgin Islands.
