The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 17:05 UTC. The contact will be a telebridge between stations NA1SS and WH6PN. The contact should be audible in Hawaii. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The participants are expected to conduct the conversation in English. The Department of Astronomy & Space Sciences (DASS) (http://www.astronomy.ksclub.org) at Kuwait Science Club located in South Surrah, Kuwait, aims to spread scientific awareness in the fields of astronomy and space sciences by actively engaging the public in exploring the cosmos. This educational activity will educate young people and public about space stations, satellites and ham radio. There will be a brief presentation about the International Space Station and amateur radio, and short biography about the astronaut Greg Chamitoff, a 3-D movie of the summary mission for ESA astronaut Thomas Reiter. Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows: 1. What benefits do you get from space? 2. How long it takes to travel to space? 3. Why do you eat liquids instead of original food? 4. What do you think of being astronaut? 5. Do you advise me to be an astronaut? And why? 6. How can you eat in space? 7. Did you discover anything new in space? 8. How long does it takes to reach Mars? 9. Are there signs of life in other planets? 10. What did you see during your time exploring? 11. How did you manage to maintain a healthy diet? 12. How does it feel to be in space? 13. Did you see any aliens? 14. Can you see the other face of the moon? 15. What work do you do on the Space Station? 16. What did you gain from being an astronaut? 17. What does it feel like to be floating? 18. What is the hardest thing to adjust to in space? 19. How does zero gravity affect your body? 20. What is the most interesting information, or object, that you found in space? Information about the upcoming ARISS contacts can be found at http://www.rac.ca/ariss/upcoming.htm#NextContact. Packet is transmitted on 145.825 simplex. Next planned event(s): European Space Camp 2008, Zanka Children and Youth Centre, near Lake Balaton, Zanka, Hungary, direct via HA5KHC Thu 2008-07-24 19:01 UTC 59 deg ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the participating space agencies: NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA, with the AMSAT and IARU organizations from participating countries. 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.

Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The participants are expected to conduct the conversation in English. The Canada Agriculture Museum in Ottawa is a unique combination farm and museum. The Museum offers animated bilingual interpretation which shows the making and tasting of foods such as ice cream, bread and butter. Other demonstrations present farming activities, including year-round animal care and spring sheep shearing. Visitors to the animal barns will see a collection of common farm animals, as well as several rare breeds. The Museum's Tractors exhibition and the exhibition on rural electrification of one hundred years ago bring the science of the past to life. The Canada Agriculture Museum - Where Knowledge Grows! Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows: 1. What kind of animals have been brought to space? 2. Is it possible to grow food in space? 3. What planet would be the best for farming? 4. What plant would be the hardest to grow in space? 5. What would be the easiest plant to grow in space? 6. Do animals behave differently in space? 7. What are the difficulties of agriculture in space? 8. What is the difference between growing plants on earth and in space? 9. Do plants grow faster in space? 10. What is GPS technology, and how does it affect agriculture? 11. Do animals eat more in space than they do on earth? 12. Do plants grow upward in space? 13. Have you ever tried making bread in space and if so, does it rise differently? 14. What is your favorite farm animal and why? 15. How does GPS technology help farmers reduce the amount of fertilizers they apply in their fields? 16. What planet would be the hardest to grow food on? 17. Does food taste differently in space? 18. Do plants need more water in space? 19. What farm animal is least likely to survive in space? 20. Do things sound different in space, e.g. a dog barking?
