[uco at juno.com]

ARISS CONTACT PLANNED SUNDAY 6 SEPTEMBER 2009 WITH SCHOOL IN SWEDEN.  
  
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at Sästraskolan, Skärholmen, Sweden, on Sunday 6 September
2009. The contact is scheduled at 19:25 UTC, which is 21:25 CEST. 

The contact will be a telebridge. ARISS groundstation LU8YY, located in
Argentina, will establish the radio link with the ISS. Swedish astronaut
Christel Fuglesang will answer questions from students in Swedish. 

The ARISS contact will be distributed on EchoLink *AMSAT* and *JK1ZRW*
conference servers. 

Sätraskolan is located in Skärholmen in the Southern part of Stockholm. 

The school has children from preschool to 9th grade with about 550 students
and 100 employees. For the past year, the school has been engulfed in a real
space fever. For the upcoming event, more than 1000 questions where
submitted. This says quite a lot about the level of motivation from students
and teachers alike. This is also reflected in the slogan selected for the
event “Sätraskolan; skolan som siktar högre” (Sätraskolan; the school which
aims higher)
