ARISS contact with Collège Robert Doisneau, Sarralbe, France

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Collège Robert Doisneau, Sarralbe, France on 08 Oct. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 14:29 UTC. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct between OR4ISS and F6KFT. The contact should be audible over France and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in French.

Story:
As the name suggests, Sarralbe was formed at the confluence of the valleys of the Saar and the Albe, two rivers that go down, the first from the Vosges foothills, the second from the near area of the Moselle ponds. Sarralbe is located between Strasbourg an Metz. Our city, main canton town, is a member of the “Albe and Lakes” Local Council Community. The city territory covers a total area of 27 square kilometers and it is between 206 and 262 meters high.

Its inhabitants are called the Sarralbenois and Sarralbenoises. At the last census, there were 4645 inhabitants in Sarralbe.

In College Robert Doisenau, our middle school, we are 500 pupils and we are 9h graders.

In the last two years, we have launched two weather balloons, with 3 cameras, in the atmosphere that have climbed up to 30 km altitude to get as close as possible to the ISS station!

At the same time, with amateur radio club F6KFT, we often practice using Morse language.

About ARISS

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States, sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), the ISS National Lab and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard the ISS and students in classrooms or public forms. Before and during these radio contacts, students, educators, parents, and communities learn about space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see www.ariss.org.

Thank you & 73,
