Ciao a tutti!
Domani, martedì 9/2/2009 per circa una decina di minuti a partire dalle 10.24 UTC (tempo ocale 11.24) un astronauta della ISS con nominativo radio OR4ISS (Oscar Romeo Four India Sierra Sierra) si metterà in contatto con una scuola di Piatrasanta e risponderà alle domande degli studenti. L'ascolto sarà possibilissimo, direi persino facile, in tutta la penisola sulla frequenza di 145800 KHZ (145.800 MHZ) in FM. Qualsiasi ricevitore che possa sintonizzare questa frequenza (che cade nella banda dei radioamatori), per esempio uno scanner anche solo palmare sarà in grado di riceverla (selezionare il modo Narrow FM di solito siglato NFM o solo FM, per distinguerlo da quello Wide FM, di solito segnalato con la sigla WFM, che serve per ricevere le classiche stazioni FM da 88 a 108 MHZ). Consiglio di mettersi all'aperto edi utilizzare posibilmente un'antena un po' più performante di quelle date di solito a corredo di questi ricevitori ma comunque anche con le antenne standard credo si possa ascoltare.
Si ascolterà solo l'astronauta che parlerà in inglese. Più sotto la notizia ufficiale con maggiori informazioni.
Ricordo che è possibile farsi confermare l'ascolto e ricevere dunque una cartolina dallo spazio!
Le informazioni sull'invio si possono reperire al'indirizo web al fondo del comunicato ufficiale
Buona radio astronomia a tutti!

An International Space Station Expedition 18 ARISS school contact has been

galleries.
The school is situated in the centre of Pietrasanta, in a large building
near the Town Hall. It is attended by 313 students from the age of eleven
to the age of thirteen-fourteen. The School has an experimental curriculum,
covering basic subjects plus additional activities such as Drama, Art,
Music, IT, Science, Foreign Languages, carried out by groups of students.
The participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Serena: How important is the amateur radio station on board the ISS?
2. Simone: .What projects do you carry out on board the International Space
Station?
3. Costanza. Who pays for all the costs of the ISS’ project?
4. Daisy: What is it like living in a small place like the space shuttle
for a few days?
5. Amelia: Would you like to participate in a journey to the Moon?
6. Matteo: What does the ISS inside smell like?
7. Roberta: Is there a magnetic field in the ISS’orbit?
8. Michele: Can you breathe normally on board the ISS?
9. Tommaso: How do you cope with the alternation of day and night every 45
minutes?
10. Christian: How long did the training last in order to participate in
this mission?
11. Lorena: What do you do if you get sick in Space?
12. Linda: What do your family and your friends think about your job?
13. Simone: What is the most dangerous moment during the mission, the
take-off or the landing?
14. Filippo: What do you eat and drink?
15. Emanuele: Would it be possible to produce artificial gravity on the ISS?
16. Filippo: Is it difficult and dangerous to pass through the atmosphere
before landing?
17. Sara: Is the perception of time onboard the ISS the same as on Earth?
18. Serena: What was the most spectacular moment during your stay in Space?

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.
