Presentation State Technical Institute of Technology Alessandro Volta
Our school "Alessandro Volta" aims at letting students reach communicative, social-historic, mathematical, scientific and technological knowledge spendable in different contexts: life, study, job. In addition it strengthens useful competences so that students can confront themselves with continuous innovations through 3 specializations: Mechanics and Mechatronics, IT and Telecommunications, Electronics and Electrotechnics

15. E' possibile coltivare piante sull'IIS? Se sì i frutti di queste piante
possono essere usati per l'alimentazione degli astronauti in caso
di lunga permanenza nello spazio?
16. Quanto tempo ci si impiega per raggiungere dalla Terra la Stazione
Spaziale?
17. E' possibile svolgere sull'ISS esperimenti riguardanti la materia oscura?
18. Che strumenti utilizzate per le attività extra veicolari?

problems do you have to cope with?
6. What kind of physical training do you have to undergo before the space
mission?
7. As you share very narrow room aboard, we'd like to know how you take care
of your health, when you get sick. How could you take the necessary
precautions?
8. How do you get in touch with your families?

TBD
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. Further information on the ARISS program is available on the website http://www.ariss.org/
Thank you & 73,
