Uncoming ARISS contact with Scouting Burgemeester Welschen Meerhove, Eindhoven, The Netherlands
by n4csitwo＠bellsouth.net 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Scouting Burgemeester Welschen Meerhove, Eindhoven, The Netherlands on 28 Dec. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 13:08 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between OR4ISS and PE6SBW. The contact should be audible over The Netherlands 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. Scouting Meerhoven has been set up in 2003. Our first official turnout was 10 years ago during the JOTA JOTI. During the last 10 years we have had several activities which were connected with transmitting (each year during the JOTA JOTI) and also with technic, air and space travel, as our scouts cabin is near Eindhoven airport. Now, 10 years on, we celebrate our Jubilee. One of our Lustrum activities is the JOTA JOTI, by which we use FM frequency. For a whole weekend the scouting room has been transformed to a real radio station. The broadcasts' are made by our youth and staff members. In the framework of the Jubilee we have made a request to NASA, because as a scouting group, we really like to have radio contact with one of the astronauts from the ISS. We are very supportive of space travel and during the coming period we have a couple of activities to prepare us for a possible contact with ISS. The Friday evening group (cubs and scouts) will visit an observatory, they will make rockets from lemonade bottles and fire them off. The room of the beavers will be transformed to a cosmos with rockets and planets. The kids will make these themselves. The Saturday group (cubs and scouts) will rebuild a ISS station. During the coming weeks our activities will all be in the light of space travel. Our aim is that the children will make their acquaintance with the JOTA JOTI (transmission) as well as space travel. It would be great to close of our Jubilee with contact with ISS. Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows: 1. Do you float in the space outside of ISS? 2. Do you like it to be weightless all the time? 3. What skills do you need to have to become an astronaut and how do you prepare a mission into space? 4. How do you sleep in space? 5. Do you have spare time to play computer games like Minecraft, and what games? 6. Please name a top 3 of things you miss on earth, except your families. 7. Please share your most memorable experience as astronaut. 8. How do you use the toilet in ISS? Using the toilet, where does the pee or poop remain? 9. How big is the space that you live in? 10. If there is fire on ISS, how do you extinguish this? Water and powder also float and may damage the equipment. 11. I would like to know what the astronauts do when a comet is approaching the space station. 12. Do you have a Christmas tree with decoration in ISS? 13. Can you see fireworks on January 1th? 14. How do you wash yourself and how do you change clothes? 15. Do you see a lot of debris in space? 16. What is the moon made of?

The Technical Institute "Galileo Ferraris" is active on the territory of the Arno Valley since 1979 and has trained over the years the engineers of the many industrial enterprises in the area. The technical institute in fact offers a solid general education and training of scientific and technical basis necessary for both a rapid entry into the world of work and the professions and for the continuation of studies at university . In particular, enables the student to face the entrance test for the various scientific disciplines .. Its strength lies in teaching laboratory accompanied by a solid theoretical and scientific . Branches of study offered the institute is currently divided into the following specializations: .. Electronics and electrical engineering. .. Chemistry, Materials and Biotechnology .. Data processing and telecommunications The time is for all specializations of 32 hours per week , spread over four days per week of five hours (from 8.10 am to 13.10) and two days a week for six hours (from 8.10 am to 14.10 ) . The school is equipped with several laboratories and a large gym . Among these , for the two years , we have the laboratories of Physics, Chemistry , Drawing- CAD , Computer Science , for the three years, Chemistry, Electronics, Electrical Engineering , Computer Science, Mathematics , Technology Design and Planning , Automatic Systems , Information systems . In addition, the active school every year internships at companies in the area and technical projects in cooperation with such companies . Participants will ask as many of the following questions (translated) as time allows: 1. What should I do if I wanted to become an astronaut? I mean what educational path should I follow, which degree would be the best to take, in your opinion? 2. Do you have particular memories you would like to share with us? 3. Why is it important going to the outer space? Is it more important to spend money on space missions than on other fields? 4. How many crew members are there with you? Have you been trained also to get along well to each other? 5. How long does it take you to regain all your physical ability when you come back to Earth? 6. What types of experiments are you currently running? Which are the most useful for mankind? 7. What do you do when you get sick in space? Do you need a doctor on board the ISS? 8. Have you ever been scared to fly in space? 9. How long are the missions? 10. What is the strangest question you have been asked by students? 11.
