An International Space Station ARISS contact has been planned for astronaut Nicole Stott KE5GJN with students at Trevigi Lower Secondary School in Casale Monferato, Italy.

Trevigi Lower Secondary School is a prestigious educational institution in the city centre of Casale Monferrato. Casale is a small town situated on the River Po, in Piedmont (Northern Italy). The 450 students, boys and girls, are between 11 and 14 years old.

The school offers a good standard education through several basic subjects of study that develop the student’s general knowledge. They also study English and French or Spanish as foreign languages.

A virtual travel in space, communicating with astronauts, is the final event of several school activities concerning Science, History, Geography, Maths, Information Technology and English. Also, it will help students to improve their communicative skills.

The contact will be a direct operated by ground station IK1SLD  Friday 2 October 2009 at  14:46 UTC, which is 16:46 CEST.

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.

Bonnes écoutes sur 145.800Mhz ou sur les canaux Echolink.
