Upcoming ARISS contact with DLR School Lab, Braunschweig, Germany

by n4csitwo＠bellsouth.net

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at DLR School Lab, Braunschweig, Germany on 11 July. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:37 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between DP0ISS and DN2DLR. 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 German Aerospace Center (DLR) is one of Europe's largest and most modern research institutions. Here is where the aircraft of the future are being developed and pilots trained, rocket engines tested and images of distant planets analyzed. In addition, over 7,700 DLR staff members are investigating next-generation high-speed trains, environmentally responsible methods of generating energy, and much more. DLR_School_Lab in Braunschweig investigates many topics related to transportation: whether on the road, rails, or in the air. In various experiments, school classes can acquaint themselves with the research topics being studied at the science institutes at DLR Braunschweig. Five advanced courses in physics (11th and 12th grade) with more than 100 students from 4 schools in Braunschweig and Wolfenbüttel are participating in this event. Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows: 1. Dürfen Sie in ihrer Freizeit Weltraumspaziergänge machen? 2. Was ist das Schönste daran, im Weltraum zu sein? 3. Wie bzw. was war ihr erster Eindruck in der ISS? 4. Woran dachten sie unmittelbar bevor sie in den Weltraum geflogen sind? 5. Was wollten Sie schon immer im Weltraum machen? 6. Helfen Ihnen Ihre Erfahrungen aus der Antarktis weiter? 7. Vermissen Sie die Schwerkraft in manchen Situationen? 8. Ist die Vorbereitung unter Wasser gleich der "echten" Schwerelosigkeit?

Wie schützt man sich vor der Weltraumstrahlung? 12. Was war das erste, was sie getan haben, als zum ersten Mal die Schwerkraft aussetzte? 13. Wie fühlt es sich an, wenn man an der Raumkrankeit leidet? 14. Was werden Sie als Geophysiker im Weltraum testen? Was werden Ihre Hauptaufgaben sein? 15. Werden die Ergebnisse der Experimente untereinander ausgetauscht, oder bleiben sie geheim? 16. Ist der Job im All gut bezahlt? 17. Kann man im Weltraum heiraten? Wenn ja, in welchem Land wäre die Vermählung eingetragen? 18. Wie werden Krankheiten oder Infektionen im Weltall behandelt? Variieren sie von denen auf der Erde? 19. War Astronaut schon immer ihr Traumberuf? 20. Hat man trotz des zweistündigem täglichen Trainings Muskelschwund? 1. Are you able to go on Space Walks in your free Time? 2. What is the nicest thing about being in space? 3. What was your first impression when entering the ISS? 4. What were your thoughts just before you flew in space? 5. What did you always want do in space? 6. Can you apply your experience from your time in Antarctica? 7. Do you sometimes miss gravity in space? 8. Is the preparation under water the same as "real" weightlessness? If not, how is it different? 9. How did you experience the docking maneuver? Were you involved? 10. How does fire behave in zero gravity? 11. How do you protect yourself from space radiation? 12. What was the first thing you did when gravity stopped for the first time? 13. How/what do you feel, when suffering from the space sickness? 14. What are you going to survey in space as a geophysicist)? What are your main projects/tasks? 15.

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.

Upcoming ARISS contact with DLR Project Lab, Neustrelitz, Germany

by n4csitwo＠bellsouth.net

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at DLR Project Lab, Neustrelitz, Germany on 2 July. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 12:05 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between DP0ISS and DN1BV. 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 German Aerospace Center (DLR) is one of Europe's largest and most modern research institutions. Here is where the aircraft of the future are being developed and pilots trained, rocket engines tested and images of distant planets analyzed. In addition, over 7,700 DLR staff members are investigating next-generation high-speed trains, environmentally responsible methods of generating energy, and much more ... DLR_School_Lab Neustrelitz was opened in September 2011 at DLR in Neustrelitz in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Here is where the data from various satellites are received by means of large antennas, and subsequently processed. The student lab is available for visits of one or several days by school classes from this most northerly German state and further afield. Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows: 1. Going back to Earth can't be realized easily. Do you have problems with homesickness? 2. Did you bring a talisman / keepsake to the ISS? 3. How does it feel to be in zero gravity? 4. What would happen if you spill water on board the ISS? 5. How do you shower on the ISS? 6. How many hours of sleep do you have per day and how long do you have to work? 7. Do you feel aching muscles after exercising like on Earth? 8. Have you seen the aurora from the ISS yet? 9. Could you take a great photo of the Earth from the ISS for our school lab? 10. How long have you been a radio amateur? 11. How and when do you contact your family? 12. Are there any diseases one can get only in space? 13. How long does it take to return to the Earth? 14. Do you have any plans for the time after your ISS mission? 15. Do you dream differently in space? 16. How did you feel as you entered the ISS? 17. Which wave bands will be used to communicate with ground based systems on Earth? 18. Can you catch a cold during a spacewalk? 19. Can radiation be dangerous during missions outside the spacecraft? 20. Some people think food tastes differently in higher altitudes. you noticed any differences on the ISS so far?
