Här kommer skolfrågorna som Fuglesang ska svara på ikväll:
ARISS CONTACT PLANNED SUNDAY 6 SEPTEMBER 2009 WITH SCHOOL IN SWEDEN.
An
International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Sästraskolan, Skärholmen, Sweden, on Sunday 6 September
2009. The contact is scheduled at 19:25 UTC, which is 21:25 CEST.
The
contact will be a telebridge. ARISS groundstation LU8YY, located in
Argentina, will establish the radio link with the ISS. Swedish astronaut
Christel Fuglesang will answer questions from students in
Swedish.
The ARISS contact will be distributed on EchoLink *AMSAT* and
*JK1ZRW* conference servers, as well as on IRLP Discovery Channel
9010.
Sätraskolan is located in Skärholmen in the Southern part of
Stockholm.
The school has children from preschool to 9th grade with about
550 students and 100 employees. For the past year, the school has been
engulfed in a real space fever. For the upcoming event, more than 1000
questions where submitted. This says quite a lot about the level of
motivation from students and teachers alike. This is also reflected in the
slogan selected for the event “Sätraskolan; skolan som siktar högre”
(Sätraskolan; the school which aims higher)
Participants will ask as
many of following questions as time allows.

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 onboard 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.
