Program : Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Project

• description, time frame, partners
  September, 2012 featured a real-time "meeting" with Dr. Sunita Williams, .. aboard the International Space Station while it was passing over Burns school. She answered each question with interesting information about life on the space station, technologies in use, logistical issues like eating and sleeping in zero-gravity. During the first five weeks of school, before the "visit" everyone took part in the preparation - learning about NASA, amateur radio, space, the International Space Station and space technology across the curriculum. Students in all grades prepared questions for the astronauts on the space station. One student from each grade was chosen to read two questions. The questions were selected from all submissions for that grade.
  Partnerships : Daytona Beach Amateur Radio Club, NASA, ARRL
