SOAR VALLEY COLLEGE SCIENCE CAMP ENDS UP WITH SUCCESSFUL SPACE TALK

Ésta es la última experiencia ARISS. El pasado día 8 de agosto los alumnos de la escuela secundaria Soar Valley College de Leicester, Inglaterra consiguieron contactar con el astronauta ED LU con el indicativo NA1SS abordo de la ISS, a la 16.25.30 horas UTC.
El paso de la estación permitió el intercambio de 13 preguntas con Ed. Las condiciones de propagación fueron excelentes y las respuestas del astronauta pudieron escucharse desde España: (mp3 / 16Kbs)

La escuela en verano dispone de una colonia de ciencias para  jóvenes de entre 12 y 13 años. Durante tres días desarrollan un conjunto de experimentos generalizados,  incluyendo la construcción y  lanzamiento de un cohete. El entusiasmo de haber hablado con el astronauta no lo volverán a olvidar.

La prensa y TV local se hicieron eco de estos acontecimientos incluyendo entrevistas con los participantes.
