ARISS CONTACT OLOMOUC March 8, 2016 CZECH

ARISS contact planned for schools in Olomouc, Moravia, Czech Republic

An International Space Station school radio contact has been planned with participants in Olomouc March 8, 2016. Students from three schools in the Czech Republic will ask questions to ESA astronaut Timothy Peake on board the International Space Station. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 08:22 UTC, which is 09:22 CEWT. The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes. The amateur radio contact will be direct between OR4ISS and OK2KYJ. The contact should be audible over most of Europe. Interested parties are invited to listen in on 145.800 MHz narrowband FM. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.

It will be the first ARISS event ever in the Czech Republic. The OK2KYJ radio club www.ok2kyj.c and students of three high schools in Olomouc participate to this ARISS project. All three schools have similar study cycles of four, six, or eight years. All schools have invested into the latest technology, allowing students to access online learning and become competent with computers and the internet. All schools offer various extra-curricular programmes and activities, including ARISS and ISS projects.

Slovanske gymnazium features high standards on teaching programmes. Students’ contributions to the ARISS project foster Physics studying. Some students follow the French bilingual programme. Some of their preparations and promotion of ARISS are shown in a short video at www.sgo.cz.

Gymnazium Olomouc – Hejcin is known as one of the top level high schools in the Czech Republic. Students are challenged to academic success and prepared to excel at the university level. Some of the students follow an English bilingual programme, where both Czech teachers and native English speaking teachers participate to the tuition.

Gymnazium Cajkovskeho offers a Spanish bilingual programme as well as courses for an international certificate in German language. Students and teachers take part in many projects with remarkable results. The school also has a strong sports section. While taking part in the ARISS project, the school has emphasized on Science. As the school has been on the waiting list for an ARISS contact for more than two years, some of the students have reached the university and offer support via the UP Crowd.

UP Crowd is a guild of students of scientific disciplines and other science enthusiasts from the University of Palacky in Olomouc. Through their members they have an extensive connection with famous scientists and astronomers in the Czech Republic.

ARISS is an international educational outreach program partnering the volunteer support and leadership from AMSAT and IARU societies around the world with the ISS space agencies partners: NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA.

ARISS offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crewmembers on-board 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.
