ISS ASTRONAUT SANDRA MAGNUS KE5FYE TALKS WITH “MARCO
POLO” SCHOOL
The students had been involved in the preparation of
this ARISS event in different ways. The training of the students comprised
educative activities related to space under guidance of the teachers’ team,
satellite contacts and listening ARISS contacts during the weeks before the
ARISS event.
Mr. Antonio Baldin, IW3QKU, the contact coordinator
for this ISS contact, decided in favour of a direct contact. The questions were
read by the pupils. The contact site was located in the school, where an
audience of more than 160, students, parents, teachers, visitors and the mass
media could follow the contact.
At
Sandra Magnus KE5FYE answered 11 questions. The signal
from the ISS was loud and clear all the time.
Some local media and newspapers covered the event.
Congratulations
to the “Marco Polo” team!
