In cooperation with ESA and EUMETSAT, ARISS will partake in the Long Night of Stars with the Community School Bergstrasse in Seeheim on 4th September 2009. The students between 14 and 18 will meet astronauts, spacecraft operators and engineers and will ask questions about the education needed to reach the sky. The highlight of the night will be an ARISS live contact with the ISS, giving them the occasion to ask their questions of the astronauts, possibly to the ESA astronaut Frank De Winne. ESA astronaut Reinhold Ewald will be the guest of honor. The event is supported by the ESA Communication Office in Germany.
