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 2014 has already closed.
Look for the window for first half 2015 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, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West
Virginia, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, and the
Virgin Islands.

One of the ARISS operation team mentors
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Gymnasium Markt Indersdorf, Markt Indersdorf, Bavaria, Germany on 28 June. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 12:08 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between DP0ISS and DN4OD. The contact should be audible over Germany and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in German.
The grammar school/high school of Markt Indersdorf (Gymnasium Markt Indersdorf GMI, Germany) began operations in the school year of 2001/2002. In 2007 the first students graduated successfully with the certificate qualifying them to go to university (Abitur). Currently, about 90 teachers instruct approximately 1,100 pupils aged 10 to 19, about 250 of them are in the qualification phase (years/grades 11 and 12).
The GMI offers the choice between two faculties, the linguistic and scientific-technological one. Approximately 75 percent of the pupils decide for the latter. The pupils obtain an education in science from the 5th year/grade on, the subject Physics is taught from year/grade 8 on for both faculties, in the scientific-technological profile additional hours for more in-depth education are mandatory. In years/grades 11 and 12, the pupils have the choice between Physics, Chemistry and Biology. Experience has shown that about 30 to 40 per school year decide to take Physics. About half of them vote for Astrophysics in the 12th year/grade. From 5th year/grade on, all pupils study English as their first foreign language.
The ISS project
The pupils are divided for this project into different groups that are each responsible for one of the following activities:
.. Technology: Installation, commissioning and maintenance of the antenna system respectively the radio station as well as all the necessary hardware and software
.. Planning and monitoring: Organization of the overall sequence of events, initiation of a school's competition to select the questions to the astronauts, organization of rehearsals
.. Presentation and documentation: Design of the facilities in question, elaboration of exhibitions and wall papers, construction of a model of the ISS, photo, audio and video documentation
.. Public Relations (local and trans-regional): Press, TV, radio and website.
Pupils of all ages should participate in selecting the questions to the astronauts. The examination of questionnaires of other schools which already made contact with the ISS should secure the creation of uncommon and interesting questions that are not asked in every interview.
At the event in question - depending on the date and time - a large number, if possible, of the school family should be present in the assembly hall, for example, to attend a live broadcast from the radio room.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What made you want to become an astronaut?
2. How did your family react about your plans to fly into space?
3. How often do you have contact with family and friends?
4. Next to your family, what do you miss the most?
5. Which personal things were you allowed to bring on to the ISS?
6. How do you handle living together with your colleagues on very little
space?
7. What does an astronaut do in his free time?
8. How do you feel when you look down on Earth?
9. How does a normal working day on the ISS look like?
10. Which experiments are you carrying out on the ISS at the moment?
11. How do insects fly in zero gravity?
12. Is it possible to light a candle on the ISS? How does the flame look
like?
13. What are the risks when you're working outside?
14. How do you feel during an EVA, when you're wearing your space suit?
15. Are there any health risks after a long weightlessness?
16. How is the medical provision on the ISS guaranteed?
17. How do you like the food on the ISS in comparison to the food on Earth?
18. What are you going to do first, when you're back on Earth?
19. Who is your biggest idol?
20. Which requirements do you need to become an astronaut?

One of the ARISS operation team mentors
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Focus Camps - Sterrenlab, Italy and European Space Center, Transinne, Belgium on June 20. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 18:36 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.
The questions will be asked alternatingly by participants of the Focus Camp in Italy and by participants of the Mission X Closing Event at the Euro Space Center in Belgium.
Focus Camp, Candriai, Italy
The radio contact with the ISS will take place during the Focus Campus, a science summer camp addressed to children aged 8 to 13 organised by Focus Junior - the most popular science magazine for children in Italy - and Sterrenlab, the camp organiser. During the week children will participate to science laboratories, learn about science topics and challenge themselves to design and build experiments and machines. The Focus Campus in Candriai (Trento) focuses on tinkering and DIY activities ("Una scienza da creare" - "A science to create"). Children will also have the opportunity to do sport in the morning, play with their friends and visit the alpine nature surrounding the camp premises.
Euro Space Center, Redu, Belgium
About 150 youngsters from all over Europe celebrate the International Closing Event for Mission X 2014 at the Euro Space Center in Belgium. "Mission X train like an astronaut" is an international education project that encourages children to take part in a challenge, adopting a life style reflecting astronaut training. The Closing Event offers participants the opportunity to meet astronauts and trainers, to experience the training simulators for astronauts, to simulate a Shuttle mission and to build a rocket.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. What kind of physical exercises do you do during the astronaut training?
2. Do you have a fridge on the ISS?
3. Did you participate to survival camps during your astronaut training?
4. Is it difficult to move on the ISS?
5. Did you ever argue with your crew mates?
6. Do you have animals on board the International Space Station?
7. Did you bring a food which is special to you on the ISS?
8. Do you have children?
9. How long was your training as an astronaut?
10. Were you happy when you got selected as an astronaut?
11. How many hours do you exercise every day?
12. How do you distinguish day and night on ISS?
13. Is astronaut food as good as at home?
14. Are you homesick?
15. What happens if you get sick on the ISS?
16. Do you like science?
17. Do you work as a team on the ISS?
18. Do you think aliens exist?
19. Do you like more rugby, football or martial arts?
20. Did you have many friends when you were a child?

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 2014 has already closed.
Look for the window for first half 2015 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, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Vermont, West
Virginia, Wyoming, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marianas Islands, and the
Virgin Islands.
