This contact is scheduled with crewmember Josh Cassada KI5CRH, using the ISS callsign NA1SS, and will be a telebridge contact via VK4ISS.
Start time is Fri 2022-11-04 09:43:51 UTC
Downlink signals from ISS will be audible above parts of Australia on 145.800 MHz narrowband FM. The conversation will be in English.
The SatNOGS community is encouraged to schedule observations to capture this event!
Afterwards, I’ll add a post that collects the observations, listing the stations and observers that were in the footprint of the ISS for the pass.
School Information:
Harel is a unique school in the sense that it incorporates high spiritual \ religious education with many innovative study trends. It’s a six year boy’s school, starting from class 7 to class 12. It comprises intermediate and high school. Some of the study trends students can choose
from are Communication, Graphic design, Robotics, Cinema, Computers and Literature.The school has achieved many prizes in recent years.
The contact with the ARISS organization was entirely my idea as I, as an English teacher, wanted to promote The CLIL idea and connect studies of Science, Astronomy and English. The students are so looking forward to the meeting with the astronauts with great enthusiasm.
