ARISS
School Contact planned with Astrophysics Institute in
An ARISS School Contact is planned
for National Institute for Astrophysics – Astronomical Observatory of Bologna.
The event is scheduled
The
Astronomical Observatory of Bologna is one of the twenty research structures of
the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF). Besides scientific research, covering a wide
range of astrophysical topics, Astronomical Observatory of Bologna is involved
in operational and educational activities, and since several years it has
started a collaboration with the Marino Golinelli Foundation, that organizes
"La Scienza in Piazza", a square for Science.
This
is an activity addressed to the schools, in order to promote the diffusion of
science through hands-on exhibitions and conferences. The goal is to carry
Science through cities, towns, villages, transforming them in open air Science
Centres. Last year the event had a number of about 50.000 visitors. This year
the event will be held from the 3rd to the 13th of February, with the patronage
of the Italian Space Agency (ASI).
The
planned ARISS contact is a telebridge operated by LU8YY in
The
audio will be available on EchoLink AMSAT Conference and possibly IRLP
reflector 9010.

ARISS
is an international educational outreach program partnering the participating
space agencies, NASA, Russian Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA, with the
AMSAT and IARU organizations from participating countries.
ARISS
offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur
Radio by talking directly with crewmembers onboard the International Space
Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio
and crewmembers on ISS can energize youngsters' interest in science, technology
and learning.
