audible over portions of South America. Interested parties are invited to listen
in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in
English.

The Contact will be on Echolink AMSAT Conference (Node 101377)

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.
