ARISS contact planned for Ashfield Primary School, Otley, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
An
International Space Station radio contact has been planned for Timothy
Peake KG5BVI with participants at Ashfield Primary School, Otley, West
Yorkshire, United Kingdom. The event is scheduled Thursday 5 May 2016 at
approximately 08:08 UTC. The amateur radio contact will be a direct
contact operated by GB1APS. The contact should be audible over Western
Europe. Interested parties are invited to listen in on 145.800 MHz
narrowband FM.
Presentation:
Ashfield Primary School is a
smaller than average school situated in a small market town, north of
Leeds. Whilst Otley is a relatively affluent area, a high proportion of
our pupils come from the Weston Estate – an area of significant
deprivation.
Almost all pupils are of White British heritage. Very
few speak English as an additional language but this number is
increasing. An above average proportion of pupils have special
educational needs and/or disabilities and an above average number of
pupils are eligible for pupil premium (40%). Over recent years the
school has sought to raise the aspirations of the pupils and their
parents as a high proportion of the children come from 2nd/3rd
generation NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) families.
We are a 1 form entry primary with 200 pupils.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Esme (Reception): How can I come and see you?
2. Kitty (Year 4): If you blow a bubble in space what shape will it be and will it last long?
3. Olivia (Year 5): How do you communicate with people down below?
4. Amelie (Year 5): Are your space clothes itchy or soft?
5. Libby (Year 5): Although you are with other members up in the ISS do you ever get lonely?
6. Grace (Year 5): What would happen to a balloon in the ISS that isn't attached to a string?
7. Zach (Year 6): Does helium work the same in space?
8. Ethan (Year 6): How tall are you now on the ISS?
9. Jack (Year 2): Is there space candy?
10. Dalton (Reception): How do you get home from the space station?
11. Ethan (Year 2): What are washing machines like in space and how do you clean your clothes?
12. Ruth (Year 2): What does the Earth look like at night from the ISS?
13. Millie (Year 2): What does space smell like?
14. Maizy (Year 5): How often do you look out of the window to see planet earth?
15. Olivia (Year 5): What is the best thing about the countdown and why?
16. Caitlin (Reception): How do you stop your food from floating?
17. Olivia (Year 5): What is the best thing about being in zero gravity?
18. Chloe (Year 2): What is it like in space at night time?
19. Mackenzie (Year 3): How many miles up are you and why?
20. Olivia (Year 5): What happens to your organs in space?
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.

ANNONCE BALLON UK le samedi 30 avril 2016 BRISTOL
Another pico launch from Bristol this Saturday 30th. The launch will be at 0900 ISH.
As before the payload is transmitting on 434.600 MHz USB, with an output power of about +6dBm. Each transmission of Contestia 16/1000 will be preceded by 10 seconds of pips and RSID.
This payload uses solar panels to generate power. Hopefully the transmission rate will be once per minute during the day, and once every two minutes at night (if the payload operates at night). It's also capable of transmitting APRS packets, but will only do so outside countries where the amateur license is not permitted airborne (like the UK).
It will probably head south quite quickly after launch, so trackers on the south coast are particularly appreciated. More details will appear on the website http://www.bristol-seds.co.uk/flights.html
Many Thanks,

ANNONCE BALLON ESTONIA le 27 avril 2016
On Wednesday, 27th of April 2016, students of Kanepi Gümnaasium in
cooperation with Physics Institute of Tartu University are launching a
high-altitude balloon.
Start is planned at 14:00 local time (11.00 UTC) and launch site is at Kanepi Gymnasium (address Kooli 1, Kanepi, latitude 57.986821 N, longitude 26.760103 E, WWL KO37JX16IV.
Preliminary weather forecast (evening of 25.04) predicts that the flight is heading north, flying over towns Tartu and Jõgeva, and payload is expected to land north of Jõgeva. How it really turns out - that will be seen in Wednesday!
Balloon name: IP2
Flight name: Ilmapall-2 Flight (Not confirmed)
Payload name: Ilmapall2016-2 (From the testing it seems that the carrier shift is not 425 as should be the default but ca 385Hz)
Frequency: 434.068 MHz (can be drift a little-bit)
Payload is sending signal in RTTY mode, using baudrate 50 baud, carrier shift is ca 385 Hz (that may change a little-bit), 7 bits per symbol, no parity, 2 stop bits.
On-board computer in the payload is an Arduino UNO, it's shield PCB was manufactured by company Brandner PCB (https://www.brandner.ee/).
Advice for students was given also by the staff of Tartu Observatory at Tõravere, Estonia.
As this is UK list for launches, we are still hoping that some may read it in Estonia, who can listen to the balloon.

WB8ELK news from HUNTSVILLE AL
I just launched a 2m APRS one with the SBS-12 envelope. Although I'm a
bit over the recommended free lift of 4 grams. It is somewhere between
5.2 to 5.5 grams free lift.
This one is Solar-powered only with Supercaps. Payload weighs 14.80 grams but after the string and tape it is 15.80 grams for payload, string and tape. Free lift around 5.2 to 5.5 grams.
APRS on 144.390 FM as well as 144.340 MHz FM every 2 minutes.
- Bill WB8ELK
Inflated and launched by myself in a light wind with no problems.
Predicted flight path is across north GA, north SC and then out to sea near Wilmington NC. Probably will stop transmitting just east of Charlotte due to sunset.

ARISS le 25 avril 2016 BURY UK at 12:02 utc
ARISS contact planned for Derby High School, Bury, United Kingdom
An International Space Station radio contact has been planned for Timothy Peake KG5BVI with participants at Derby High School, Bury, United Kingdom. The event is scheduled Monday 25 April 2016 at approximately 12:02 UTC. The amateur radio contact will be a direct contact operated by GB1DHS. The contact should be audible over Western Europe. Interested parties are invited to listen in on 145.800 MHz narrowband FM. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
Presentation:
The Derby High School is a state comprehensive school (11-16 with 855 pupils 2015-16) situated in the town of Bury. The school is co-educational and is proud to be a community school supporting the diverse population of Bury and Radcliffe. 50% of students reside in an area within the top 20% of socio-economic deprivation nationally. The proportion of students who are disadvantaged and supported through the pupil premium is significantly high when compared with most schools. The proportion of students from minority ethnic backgrounds is well above average. The percentage of students who progress to post-16 studies is high.
The school opened in 1958 and in 2003 became the first Science and Arts Specialist College in the country.
The school motto: Excellence, Tradition and Imagination embodies all that we strive to achieve.
We are committed to offering a first class academic education with excellent vocational opportunities and preparation for the world of work. Sport is a strength and all our students learn how to ‘live well’; to cook, eat healthily and be physically active. Personal, moral, cultural and social education is crucial to the life of our school. Citizenship and ethical education take centre stage in our school. We seek to equip our children and the wider community, not only to live in the future world, but to shape that future world and create a better tomorrow. We are proud to be the face of modern democratic Britain. Our values are enshrined in the 7 R’s: Respectful, Responsible, Reasonable, ready, Resourceful, Resilient and Right Impression
The enrichment and engagement opportunities on offer to pupils at The Derby would probably not be bettered anywhere. From humble beginnings in 2002, the program of events and activities has grown from a single educational visit to over 50 activities on offer year on year to all pupils regardless of ability.
The success of our program has in turn led to national recognition. In 2012 Mr Paul Kerr won an Institute of Physics Teacher Award for excellence in teaching and in recognition for the outstanding commitment to developing an extensive enrichment program. In 2013 the Science Department won the national TES Award for Educational Excellence in Science, and in 2014 was commended in the Science category at The Education Business Awards. In 2015 Mr Paul Kerr was also a finalist at The STEMNET Awards in the category of STEM Leadership.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Leah (year 7): Tim, You have become an inspiration to young people, how do you feel about this?
2. Lewis (year 7): Is it be possible to detect dark matter whilst in space?
3. Aisha (year 8): How do you get enough electricity to power everything we see on the ISS?
4. Paul (year 9): Do you think you will get to go on another space mission, and what might it be?
5. Shahaan (year 10): Can disease, as we know it on earth, exist in space?
6. Leah (year 11): What everyday task has become more complicated in space?
7. Nathan (year 5): The Sun looks yellow from Earth, does it look different from space?
8. Francesca (year 5): If you could invite two guests, past or present to join you for dinner on the ISS who would they be and why?

An International Space Station radio contact has been planned for Timothy Peake KG5BVI with participants at Derby High School, Bury, United Kingdom. The event is scheduled Monday 25 April 2016 at approximately 12:02 UTC. The amateur radio contact will be a direct contact operated by GB1DHS. The contact should be audible over Western Europe. Interested parties are invited to listen in on 145.800 MHz narrowband FM. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
Presentation:
The Derby High School is a state comprehensive school (11-16 with 855 pupils 2015-16) situated in the town of Bury. The school is co-educational and is proud to be a community school supporting the diverse population of Bury and Radcliffe. 50% of students reside in an area within the top 20% of socio-economic deprivation nationally. The proportion of students who are disadvantaged and supported through the pupil premium is significantly high when compared with most schools. The proportion of students from minority ethnic backgrounds is well above average. The percentage of students who progress to post-16 studies is high.
The school opened in 1958 and in 2003 became the first Science and Arts Specialist College in the country.
The school motto: Excellence, Tradition and Imagination embodies all that we strive to achieve.
We are committed to offering a first class academic education with excellent vocational opportunities and preparation for the world of work. Sport is a strength and all our students learn how to ‘live well’; to cook, eat healthily and be physically active. Personal, moral, cultural and social education is crucial to the life of our school. Citizenship and ethical education take centre stage in our school. We seek to equip our children and the wider community, not only to live in the future world, but to shape that future world and create a better tomorrow. We are proud to be the face of modern democratic Britain. Our values are enshrined in the 7 R’s: Respectful, Responsible, Reasonable, ready, Resourceful, Resilient and Right Impression
The enrichment and engagement opportunities on offer to pupils at The Derby would probably not be bettered anywhere. From humble beginnings in 2002, the program of events and activities has grown from a single educational visit to over 50 activities on offer year on year to all pupils regardless of ability.
The success of our program has in turn led to national recognition. In 2012 Mr Paul Kerr won an Institute of Physics Teacher Award for excellence in teaching and in recognition for the outstanding commitment to developing an extensive enrichment program. In 2013 the Science Department won the national TES Award for Educational Excellence in Science, and in 2014 was commended in the Science category at The Education Business Awards. In 2015 Mr Paul Kerr was also a finalist at The STEMNET Awards in the category of STEM Leadership.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Leah (year 7): Tim, You have become an inspiration to young people, how do you feel about this?
2. Lewis (year 7): Is it be possible to detect dark matter whilst in space?
3. Aisha (year 8): How do you get enough electricity to power everything we see on the ISS?
4. Paul (year 9): Do you think you will get to go on another space mission, and what might it be?
