ETRANGE VOL du BALLON IV2SRD-11

Serait-il enfin le mouvement perpétuel tant attendu ?
Observons et admirons les montées et les descentes successives de ce ballon.

Oui, vous avez une idée de comment faut-il faire ?

En tout cas, sachez que l'éclatement n'est pas un événement obligatoire si le ballon ne dépasse pas l'altitude donnée par le fabricant de l'enveloppe ! Alors, comment ça marche ?

A suivre, si vous trouvez pourquoi et comment, faites le savoir ?

School information:

Private Salesian High School named of St. Dominic Savio

The Private Salesian High School is the secondary school providing general education that is led by the Salesian Community. The school was established in 1998. They stimulate students to apply knowledge to life, to embrace it wholeheartedly, to face reality with integrity, fortitude and optimism, and to serve society dedicatedly. The school focuses their attention on relationships between students and teachers, and parents and teachers.

The school offers opportunities for students’ involvement in activities which take place after school, at weekends and at holiday time. The school leads international exchange of students with Germany and Spain. Apart from achieving good academic results, the school provides a very wide range of cultural, sporting, physical, biological, geographical, social and extra-curricular activities for students from other schools and the local area. The school has the title of the Local Center for Environmental Activity, and it was awarded as an international Green Flag certificate in Poland - so, its role is to attract the attention of society to ecological problems, and to raise environmental awareness in the public. The "Perspektywy" magazine has placed this high school in the group of the best catholic schools in Lower Silesia. They took the 9th place in the ranking of high schools in Wroclaw in 2016, conducted by the Polish newspaper named "Wyborcza". The school has experience in conducting and coordinating environmental projects, and it has carried out so far four Comenius and Erasmus+ projects, and it was also a partner in a Youth Exchange project about global warming.

During the preparation to the ARISS school contact, students attended an amateur radio course prepared by SP6PWR – a local Polish Amateur Radio Union club (DOT-01 PZK), in cooperation with members from other amateur radio local clubs: SP6ZWR, SP6PSR and SP6PWS. Wlodek SQ6NLN, Piotr SQ6VY and Waldemar 3Z6AEF prepared lectures and workshops on amateur radio classes at school. Teachers of different subjects gave many lessons based on materials the NASA and ESA, associated with the subject matter of the project. School invited a few astronomers, who gave very interesting lectures. Students created models of spaceships, capsules of mankind and science fiction literature. They took part in the 6th Polish-wide Conference of Contributors and Sympathizers of the ARISS programme in Ostrów Wielkopolski. Students and teachers were invited to the Wroclaw Opera to the "Chopin: The Space Concert". During this event, within the World Space Week 2016, a special guest – an astronaut George D. Zamka gave them an award for promoting astronautics and astronomy amongst young inhabitants of Wroclaw. In cooperation with the Wroclaw University, they organised workshops in the astronomical observatory in Bialków, and various activities were undertaken there: observation of the sky, astronomical lectures and exercised astrophysical experience such as building a rocket and a spectroscope. Eventually, a few new amateur radio licensed operators (so-called HAMs) should become active on amateur radio bands in the near future.

Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:

1. Julia (18): What personality features do you need to have to manage and stay in space for so long?

2. Krzysztof K. (17): What were your first activities or experiments in microgravity that you did for your curiosity or pleasure?

3. Krzysztof M. (16): Is it possible to catch flu or cold and if so, can you take the same medicines that we take here on Earth?

4. Artur (16): How many millimeters are you taller on the ISS than on Earth?

5. Monika (16): What emotions dominated you during the first expedition: fear, joy or excitement?

6. Yan (16): What do you think when you look down on Earth and its inhabitants?

7. Olga (16): Do you like to be in constantly free falling state on the ISS?

8. Jan (16): Is it hard to fall asleep in space?

9. Joasia (16): What are your duties on the ISS?

10. Konrad (17): How well is cosmic rubbish visible from the ISS and how can you protect the ISS against them?

11. Rafal (18) Is it true that the Great Wall of China is only object built by humans that is visible from the ISS?

12. Marysia (18): How do you feel the changes of time during a day on the ISS?

13. Teresa (18): Is it good idea to have pets like a cat or a dog aboard the ISS?

14. Asia (18): Have you got some unusually felling or health problems after a few days in microgravity environment on the ISS?

15. Grzegorz (18): What's your way to deal with boredom in space?

16. Kacper (18): How were you selected to work as an astronaut and how were you selected for this mission to the ISS?

17. Milosz (17): Will you have a Christmas tree on the ISS this year?

8. What differences have you come across between 3D printing on Earth and in the station?

9. How do you think schools in the future should be so students can meet the challenges of your research?

10. Do you have control over the station or is it controlled from earth? What about in case of an emergency?

11. How long can you be outside the station during EVAs (extravehicular activities)?

12. What is your opinion on the tourist space voyages? Do you think it will be soon avaible for everyone?

19. What is the temperature and pressure inside and outside the space station?

20. Where do you get all the power for the station to function properly?
