[WIham] ARISS Contact Tuesday

[uco at juno.com]

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with participants at Liberty Middle School, Camas, Washington on 15 Sep. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 20:26 UTC.

The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and ON4ISS. The contact should be audible over portions of western Europe. 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 carried on the Echolink AMSAT Conference

Nestled along the beautiful Columbia River with Mt. Hood towering in the distance, Camas is one of the fastest-growing communities in the state. Camas retains the charm of a small town but is just 25 minutes away from downtown Portland, Oregon. Once only a paper mill town, many large corporations now make their home in Camas, including WaferTech, Underwriters Laboratory and Sharp Microelectronics.

Our district has two high schools, two middle schools, and five elementary schools. Liberty Middle School is home to more than 600 sixth, seventh and eighth grade “Lions.” Opened in 2006, we are committed to building a strong academic community. Our mission statement, designed by both students and staff is: A thriving community united to grow. Possibilities!

Liberty is the current home to the Camas Space Education Program, launched more than twenty years ago. All sixth grade students train for six weeks, including a SCUBA experience, to become “astronauts”. The climax of the program is a ten hour mission on board Alpha-Z, our school space station. We are proud to say that more than 3,000 sixth graders completed this simulation!
