An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Atheneum Middenschool Keerbergen, B-3140 Keerbergen,  Belgium on 10 Sep. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:31 UTC.

The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and W6SRJ. The contact should be audible over the west coast of the U.S. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English or Dutch. 

The contact will be covered on the Echolink AMSAT Conference Server.

Our high school, for students who are in the first grade, is situated in Keerbergen, and is a part of the Koninklijk Atheneum Keerbergen. Our school has about 560 students, with an average age between 12 and 14 years old. Our participation in the ARISS project is linked with the course “Technological Education”. In this course, the students have a project that has to do with transportation. The purpose of this project is to design and make a transportation device that is friendly to the environment. This project is supported with a syllabus where the students learn about the different means of transportation. Space travel is a big part of this project.
