An International Space Station school radio contact has been planned with participants in Valahia University of Targoviste, Targoviste, Romania, Tuesday April 12, 2016. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 13:48 UTC, which is 15:48 CEWT. The amateur radio contact will be direct between OR4ISS and YO9INI. 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.

The University Valahia of Targoviste (UVT) and its partners are organizing the first Romanian ARISS contact in the historical capital of Wallachia, where ruled Vlad the Impaler, also known as Vlad Dracula. The Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Electronics and Information Technology started its activity in 1995 and it is known for electronics, telecommunications, automation, computer science, electrical engineering and power energy, providing eleven bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs for over 780 students. It has a chapter for IEEE Broadcast Technology Society (Romanian section). We are proud of our students’ involvement in several international challenges, conferences and various research events.

For the ARISS contact UVT trained 20 pupils aged 12 to 18 who were recruited from different high schools in the county. Their training was offered through the European Space Education and Resource Office ESERO-Romania, which is a collaboration between ESA and national partners (ROSA). The ARISS event is also supported by several companies and associations, namely Vodafone Romania and Start-Tech Association.
