An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Indiana Area School District, Indiana, PA on 17 Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 16:41 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a telebridge between OR4ISS and IK1SLD. The contact should be audible over Italy 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.
Indiana, Pennsylvania is a rural town with a population of 32,000 that is situated sixty miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Our residents enjoy the convenient proximity to a major city, as well as the community-feel and lifestyle of a small town. The Indiana Area School District has provided a dynamic high-quality educational program for over 170 years. Our four K-5 elementary schools, one 6-8 junior high school and one 9-12 senior high school serve 2800 students district wide.
In addition to distinguished academic achievement, our students' activities include fundraising for a variety of charitable causes, school and community leadership, as well as setting new standards for excellence in both academic and athletics competitions. In fact, we currently boast two National Merit Scholarship semi-finalists and a third honoree. We are proud of our student's accomplishments!
Our dynamic school programs are part of the building blocks for student success. Beginning with a commitment to early childhood and pre-K programs to increase student learning readiness, to the rigor and challenge of enrichment options at the elementary school level. Our secondary programs include an array of Advanced Placement and STEM course offerings, dual enrollment options, and our own cyber school option for students. Many local residents will tell you, "Indiana, PA is a great place to raise a family." This is true because we blend the small town community with a school system that continually strives to provide cutting-edge programs that prepare students to be successful citizens.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How many countries are involved in the International Space Station?
2. Can you feel the cold of space through your space suit?
3. Do you believe that there is intelligent life thriving somewhere in the
universe?
4. Does being weightless have any long-term effects on the human body?
5. When do you think we will have the technology for astronauts to travel
farther in space?
6. Which of the research projects that you are working on right now, has the
most scientific potential?
7. Who has the most control over the spacecraft? The astronauts,
stabilization auto-pilot, or mission control?
8. What is the scariest thing that has ever happened to you in space?
9. Are space suits comfortable?
10. How do you help your families deal with the dangers of your job?
11. What is the most common misconception teenagers may have about space?
12. Do you have any anxiety because you are nowhere near the safety of
Earth?
13. What college, and what major, would you recommend for someone to become
an astronaut?
14. What is the most interesting, or strangest, thing you have seen in the
space station?
15. What surprised you the most when you first arrived in space?
16. Do you foresee a day when space colonies will be real?

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.

Please join us in listening to the ISS contact with participants at the
Indiana Area School District, Indiana, PA, USA on Friday October 17th. AOS
is anticipated at 1641 UTC.
The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and IK1SLD in Italy.

situated sixty miles northeast of Pittsburgh. Our residents enjoy the

school serve 2800 students district wide.
In addition to distinguished academic achievement, our students’ activities
include fundraising for a variety of charitable causes, school and
community leadership, as well as setting new standards for excellence in
both academic and athletics competitions. In fact, we currently boast two

Audio from this contact will be fed into the:
EchoLink *AMSAT* (101377) conference server
IRLP Node 9010 Discovery Reflector
On the Web for Windows, Mac, iOS & Android Devices at:
https://sites.google.com/site/arissaudio/
Audio on Echolink & web stream is generally transmitted around 20 minutes
prior to the contact taking place so that you can hear some of the
preparation that occurs. IRLP will begin just prior to the ground station
call to the ISS.
Due to changes with the AMSAT Server, laptop listeners are encouraged to
set the timers in Echolink ( with the software open go to TOOLS - SETUP -
TIMING and set receive and inactivity timers to 0 ) to avoid timing out.
RF link users may time out.
** Contact times are approximate. If the ISS executes a reboost or other
manoeuvre, the AOS (Acquisition Of Signal) time may alter by a few minutes

ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the volunteer support and leadership from AMSAT and IARU societies around the world with the ISS space agencies partners: NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA.
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.

The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 10:08 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and W6SRJ. The contact should be audible over portions of the western 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.
Winter Gardens Primary School is a larger than average school on Canvey Island in Essex, England. It has two forms of entry catering for 60 children in each year group. Our school is full to capacity with 420 children from Foundation Stage (Reception - Age 4) up to Year 6 (Age 11). On the school site we also have the Winter Gardens Pre-School which caters for 60 children a day and the Winter Gardens Toddler Group which caters for children from birth upwards. Canvey Island is situated on the Thames estuary and is an actual Island. Close towns include Basildon and Benfleet and slightly further afield, Grays (Thurrock) and Southend. There are 12 schools on the Island, two of which are secondary schools.
Winter Gardens Primary School is an active school not only within the local community, but also nationally and internationally. Children have taken part in many events in London and we regularly receive visitors from a school in Germany.
Pilton Bluecoat is a state run Junior School catering for 250 children aged between 7 - 11 years that is situated on the North Devon coast in the South West of England. The school has excellent links with its community and is committed to providing a vibrant and active learning environment for students. The school prides itself in the high levels of academic attainment by the children as well as providing the children with a wide range of opportunities to enhance their personal development. Our school has been taking part in a whole school theme entitled 'The Final Frontier.'
We have been looking at aspects of space and will include factual investigations, setting up fictitious scenario and looking at aspects of space travel and space history. All curriculum subjects will be integrated into the work, including mathematics and literacy. The children will be given the opportunity to explore their own ideas and facilitate their own learning pathways. Children will also have the opportunity to develop their creativity through aspects of art, music and science
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What is the maximum number of people that can live on the ISS?
2. What inspired you to become an astronaut?
3. What sort of food do you eat?
4. What is your daily routine like?

8. What effect does no gravity have on your body?
9. How do you get air up there?
10. Have you experienced any meteor showers?
11. Can you use ink pens when there is no gravity?
12. Who came up with the idea of a space station?
13 When you are in space, how often do you get to talk to your family?
14. How often do you work outside the space station?
