Bury, UK
Message-ID: <3E277AB8DD8B4A3AA5300BB9C6341126@xxx>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at The Derby High School, Bury, UK on 25 Apr. The event is
scheduled to begin at approximately 12:02 UTC. The duration of the contact
is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be direct
between GB1SS and GB1DHS. The contact should be audible over the UK and
adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80
MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in English.
The Derby High School is a state comprehensive school (11-16 with 855 pupils
2015-16) situated in the town of Bury. The school is co-educational and is
proud to be a community school supporting the diverse population of Bury and
Radcliffe. 50% of students reside in an area within the top 20% of
socio-economic deprivation nationally. The proportion of students who are
disadvantaged and supported through the pupil premium is significantly high
when compared with most schools. The proportion of students from minority
ethnic backgrounds is well above average. The percentage of students who
progress to post-16 studies is high. The school opened in 1958 and in 2003
became the first Science and Arts Specialist College in the country. The
school motto: Excellence, Tradition and Imagination embodies all that we
strive to achieve.
We are committed to offering a first class academic education with excellent
vocational opportunities and preparation for the world of work. Sport is a
strength and all our students learn how to 'live well'; to cook, eat
healthily and be physically active. Personal, moral, cultural and social
education is crucial to the life of our school. Citizenship and ethical
education take centre stage in our school. We seek to equip our children
and the wider community, not only to live in the future world, but to shape
that future world and create a better tomorrow. We are proud to be the face
of modern democratic Britain. Our values are enshrined in the 7 R's:
Respectful, Responsible, Reasonable, ready, Resourceful, Resilient and Right
Impression
The enrichment and engagement opportunities on offer to pupils at The Derby
would probably not be bettered anywhere. From humble beginnings in 2002, the
program of events and activities has grown from a single educational visit
to over 50 activities on offer year on year to all pupils regardless of
ability.
The success of our program has in turn led to national recognition. In 2012
Mr Paul Kerr won an Institute of Physics Teacher Award for excellence in
teaching and in recognition for the outstanding commitment to developing an
extensive enrichment program. In 2013 the Science Department won the
national TES Award for Educational Excellence in Science, and in 2014 was
commended in the Science category at The Education Business Awards. In 2015
Mr Paul Kerr was also a finalist at The STEMNET Awards in the category of
STEM Leadership.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Tim, You have become an inspiration to young people, how do you feel
about this?
2. Is it be possible to detect dark matter whilst in space?
3. How do you get enough electricity to power everything we see on the ISS?
4. Do you think you will get to go on another space mission, and what might
it be?
5. Can disease, as we know it on earth, exist in space?
6. What everyday task has become more complicated in space?
7. The Sun looks yellow from Earth, does it look different from space?
8. If you could invite two guests, past or present to join you for dinner on
the ISS who would they be and why?
9. Does your heart beat faster or slower in space?
10. Would you encourage your children to become astronauts?
11. Do molecules and atoms behave differently in space?
12. Is it easier to see other planets in the Solar System from the ISS?
13. If you could visit your younger self what would you say about your
experience?
14. What is your most important experiment and how will we benefit down
here on Earth?
15. Do movies like Gravity give a realistic picture of being in space?
16. You are completing over 200 experiments. How will they benefit us here
on Earth?
17. If you fired a bullet in space how far would it go?
18. Why do you wear a mission patch on your space suit?
19. Do seeds grow faster in space than on Earth?
20. Will being back on Earth ever be the same for you?

ABOUT ARISS
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) is a cooperative
venture of international amateur radio societies and the space agencies that
support the International Space Station (ISS). In the United States,
sponsors are the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSAT), the American
Radio Relay League (ARRL), and the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration (NASA). The primary goal of ARISS is to promote exploration
of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) topics by
organizing scheduled contacts via amateur radio between crew members aboard
the ISS and students in classrooms or informal education venues. With the
help of experienced amateur radio volunteers, ISS crews speak directly with
large audiences in a variety of public forums. Before and during these
radio contacts, students, teachers, parents, and communities learn about
space, space technologies, and amateur radio. For more information, see
www.ariss.org, www.amsat.org, and www.a
rrl.org.
Thank you & 73,
David - AA4KN

Hello,
as part of my homepage at www.dd1us.de I also maintain a section called
"Sounds from Space".
I have collected there more than 1000 recordings of various satellite and
space objects.
I am still searching for various recordings of Amateur Radio Satellites,
especially for Fuji-OSCAR-12 and
UoSAT-OSCAR-15.
If you have old tapes or cassettes with recordings of Ham Radio Satellites I
will be happy to digitize them.
Many thanks in advance for any contributions to the "Sounds from Space"
collections.
Kind regards 55&73

Hi Steve!
It was nice to see you on the 1553 UTC ISS pass earlier
this morning. Even though you said some packets came in
through your local APRS network, the ariss.net web site
clearly shows packets from me to you, and from you to
me, through the ISS digipeater.
The later pass around 1722 UTC had a good amount of live
keyboard activity. I worked K7TEJ across town from me in
the other Phoenix-area grid DM33, KK6QMS in California,
and W5PFG in Texas. I heard KG6FIY in California late in
the pass, but couldn't get an exchange with him before LOS.
73!

Patrick,
Thanks for working me, My First APRS QSO via the ISS. I also heard KK6QMS &
W5PFG and sent them messages, but got no responses, Don't know if they heard
me or not or if it was just too busy, but either way I finally got on the
board and That makes it a successful day of ham radio for me.. Now if I can
only find my downlink on an SSB bird........

Rick,
Glad to get you through the ISS. Not only did we make the
exchange using APRS messages from our TH-D72A HTs, our HTs
sent the ACKs as we received each other's messages which
were retransmitted by the ISS digipeater. In the log, and
now in Logbook of the World if you use that system.
This was fun! Not much time for radio this weekend, but QSOs
through the ISS digipeater with my TH-D72A as well as SO-50
and AO-85 with my KG-UV9D HT. Not bad! Maybe I'll work you
next weekend from somewhere in southern Nevada...
73!

Rick,
I don't use eQSL, but I have made my LOTW upload. You use
"ARISS" as the satellite name for QSOs made through the
ISS (packet digipeater, or in past years the crossband
voice repeater). I've already received a LOTW QSL from
W5PFG for our QSO on the same pass, so we should be good
when you do your LOTW upload later.
