Subject: [amsat-bb] Upcoming ARISS contact with College Roger Martin
Du Gard, Bell?me, France
Message-ID: <67FFF03D136246E39196088E377BD923@xxx>

An International Space Station school contact has been planned with
participants at College Roger Martin Du Gard, Bell?me, France on 14 April.
The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 15:20 UTC. The duration of
the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The contact will be
direct between FX0ISS and F6KCO. The contact should be audible over France
and adjacent areas. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the
145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is expected to be conducted in French.
Roger Martin du Gard is a middle school in Bell?me, France. Located in
Normandy, in the heart of the regional natural park of le Perche, this
village of approximately two thousand inhabitants sits on a hill dominating
the Perche area.
Roger Martin du Gard was constructed in the 1970s and was totally rebuilt on
the same location in 1994. It got its name from Literature Nobel Prize,
Roger Martin du Gard, a writer who lived the last part of his life nearby,
in Le Ch?teau du Tertre. The number of students has been stable for the past
four years, with about three hundred children in twelve different classes (3
in each level, from grades 7 through 10). It welcomes students from age 11
to 15.
This school project, ARISS, aims at having the students succeed in their
different education paths. The ARISS project is the one opportunity to show
the students that being in a rural area does not limit their possibilities
and their capacities to do things. It is a way to help them find a possible
future in such an important field. Complementing their physics program, it
also offers a magical moment to all the students in the school, while
showing that working serves a real motivation.
Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. Qu'est-ce-qui vous a donn? envie de devenir astronaute?
2. Quel r?gime alimentaire devez-vous adopter dans l'espace?
3. Quel fuseau horaire suivez-vous dans l'espace?
4. Dans les exp?riences de culture que vous menez, o? en ?tes-vous?
5. Avez-vous rencontr? des d?bris spatiaux durant votre voyage jusqu'? l'ISS?
6. Comment faites-vous pour vous approvisionner en eau potable?
7. Qu'avez-vous ressenti lors de votre sortie extra-v?hiculaire?
8. Quel est l'inconv?nient majeur ? vivre dans l'espace?
9. Comment envisagez-vous votre futur une fois rentr? sur Terre?
10. Avez-vous r?ussi ? jouer aux d?s dans l'espace?
11. Combien d'heures de sport pratiquez-vous quotidiennement?
12. Comment faites-vous votre toilette dans l'espace?
13. Comment organisez-vous vos journ?es?
14. Comment faites-vous pour vous d?placer dans la station spatiale?
15. Quelles sont les qualit?s requises pour devenir astronaute?
16. Le r?chauffement climatique est-il visible depuis la station?
17. Quel est le plus bel endroit que vous ayez photographi? depuis la
station?
18. Quel est, jusqu'? aujourd'hui, votre plus beau souvenir ? bord de la
station?
19. Parmi les exp?riences r?alis?es, quelles sont celles qui vous ont
amus?es?
20. Entre Normands, vous souviendrez-vous de nous?
Translated:

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), the Center for the Advancement of Science in
Space (CASIS) and 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.arrl.org.
Thank you & 73,
David - AA4KN

Nick,
I'll miss working you on the SATs. You did amazingly wellwith an indoor
antenna! No matter where I went on GridExpeditions, you would usually pop up
with a great signaland never trying to talk over someone else. You are a
greatexample of a courteous operator and a gentleman. It was sonice to have
been able to meet up with you as I passed throughBurlington on one of my
trips. Hope you can manage to getback on once in a while to say hello.
73, ? ? Bob ?K8BL
P.S. And, thanks for that last QSL I needed for SAT WAS!!

Fellow satellite ops,
I have moved and left my shack location, where I operated since I got my
license in 2009. The move is due to down-sizing, necessitated by aging. As
some may know, I operated from a second floor room in the northeast corner
of our Vermont home, using an Arrow antenna indoors. It worked remarkably
well, especially on the linear transponders in directions from north to
south. West was a challenge due to the building, but Europe was a sweet
spot. It was a great run, I now have over 1500 grids confirmed. Thanks to
everyone on the birds, especially the rovers!
Unfortunately, my new location in a condo, appears to be not so conducive
for working the birds. I may try some occasional outdoor ops from portable
locations this summer, but will miss the regular comradery of our small
fraternity, it has been a lot of fun!
Enjoy the hobby and be good to each other!
73 and gud DX!
Nick, KB1RVT

Hi Nick,
I never realized you operated from indoors...wow! I hope you can get
outdoors and operate portable from a nearby park once in a while. It's

Hi Nick. I never knew you operated with an Arrow antenna inside the
house! What a signal. You were my 15th contact back on 10/29/09 when I
just started playing with the birds. I used an Arrow antenna, standing
outside with one Yaesu FT-60 HT running 5 watts on 1/2 duplex. It was
on AO-51. What a satellite. It, along with AO-27 were some great times
on FM. I think we worked 40 times over the years. I sure hope we get
to work more in the future. It is always nice talking to you Nick.
73,
Rick, WB3CSY in FN10

license in 2009. The move is due to down-sizing, necessitated by aging. As
some may know, I operated from a second floor room in the northeast corner
of our Vermont home, using an Arrow antenna indoors. It worked remarkably
well, especially on the linear transponders in directions from north to
south. West was a challenge due to the building, but Europe was a sweet
spot. It was a great run, I now have over 1500 grids confirmed. Thanks to
everyone on the birds, especially the rovers!
