The
Six faculties (Agriculture, Economics,
Law, Arts and Philosophy, Medicine and Surgery, Education) with their
three-year degree courses, specialist degree courses, 12 departments, an
Interdepartmental Research centre, numerous masters, research doctorates and
specialization schools have contributed towards making the university a
cultural centre which enables students to acquire the professional training needed
for present day society and ecocomy. The scientific community of the
The contact will be a telebridge
operated by IK1SLD located in northern
The audio of the contact will probably
be distributed by EchoLink AMSAT (node 101 377) and JK1ZRW (node 277 208)
Conference servers, as well as by IRLP Discovery Reflector 9010.
The conversation will be in English. Students will ask as many of following questions as time allows:
1. Rosanna: Is the life of an astronaut
as a child would imagine?
2. Carmine: After the recent fall of the
Soyuz cargo and the suspending of its flights, are you worried about ISS
supplies?
3. Tommaso: What do you think about
4. Stefania: Two of
the ten great scientific equipment for the Juno mission are Italian.
What do you think of Italian aerospace research?
5. Gaetano: How do you take care of your
body? Do you wear deodorant or perfume? And what about the
shave?
6. Silvestro: What sensations did you feel
at the sight of Hurricane Irene?
7. Marcello: Human beings are little
"Microcosm". What does an astronaut think about that when he comes
back to the "Earth", after the opportunity to correlate with the
"cosmic infinity "?
8. Fabio: Layka was the first
"astronaut" no human on board of Sputnik. There are animals on board
of the ISS and are they involved in some experiment?
9. Giuliano: There are tools such as
balances or pens, which need gravity to work. How do you "weigh" or
"take notes" on board of the ISS?
10. Federico: How can you avoid
collisions with bodies drifting in the space?
11. Maria: Which experiments on the ISS
could find more rapid implementation or make significant innovation in everyday
life?
12. Sandro: When you look at the earth,
do you look at
its beauty or you search for signs of the presence of human race?
13. Nino: Do not eat fruits, vegetables
and other fresh food for the entire period of permanence in space involves some
consequence?
14. Giuseppe: Are on-board computer
systems designed specifically for your needs or are commercial systems such as
those used by all of us?
15. Danilo: Do you think the Thetered
experiment, made some years ago, can be replicated on the ISS?
16. Emanuela: On the ISS do you make
studies and experiments about alternative energy?
17. Michela: The movies are full of
fantasy. Do you think there is a possibility of life in space?
18. Luigi: Do you think our technology
is ready to bring everybody to space?
19. Giancarlo: Water is a precious
commodity on earth and even more in space. What criteria are adopted for its
management on ISS?
20. Giuseppe: What are temperatures
outside the ISS?
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.
