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 2012 has already closed. Look for the window for first half 2013 contacts later this year. You must go through NASA to get the proposal material.

25 Nov '13

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Primary and Junior High Schools Complex in Stobierna, Poland on 27 Nov. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:26 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and VK5ZAI. The contact should be audible over Australia 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. School Complex in Stobierna is composed of two main school levels: primary school and junior high school. The primary school attendants' are six-year-old to twelve-year-old students, whereas, the junior high school's students are thirteen to sixteen years old. The second type of school puts more emphasis on Science (including Physics and Mathematics). The students of these schools are interested in astronomical observations, thus they are eager to take part in special classes concerning such issues. Schools organized special classes associated with the astronomical observations of the sky. We organised a series of educational trips to places from which students observed the sky: in the stars, planets and satellites. These activities were integrated into daily school activities in the field of physics and astronomy. Because many schools participated in the project, we organized interschool competitions. Moreover school organized a series of competitions related to astronautics. For the youngest students there was a drawing contest, a contest for older students, multimedia presentations related to space flight and the history of the ISS. Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows: 1. How can you distinguish between day and night? 2. How much time does it take to prepare oneself for the flight into space? 3. What do you like most about being in space? 4. Is there anything similar to rain in space? 5. How much time are you going to spend on board? 6. What do your daily routines look like? 7. What kind of duties do you have to carry out? 8. Have you got any free time and what do you do in your free time? 9. Is it easy to sleep without gravity? 10. How do you take care of your personal hygiene aboard the ISS? 11. What do your meals look like? 12. What do you eat and do you eat any fast food? 13. : Do you miss everyday life on Earth? 14. How often can you get in touch with your relatives? 15. Can you see the Eiffel Tower or the Chinese Wall from space? 16. What does the Earth look like at night?
