NASA has a library of materials and resources for educators. You'll find information about payloads, missions and space science to develop a learning experience for students in preparation for their conversation with an ISS crew member.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has materials and lesson plans for educators. Information may be obtained on education projects that are developed around specific missions of ESA astronauts.

Websites of the **ARISS Amateur Radio partners** are also a source of information about the science and technology of radio communication and satellite communications. Some also provide educational materials that can be used in the classroom to teach students about the mechanics of the amateur radio contact with the ISS station.

Amateur Radio on the International Space Station--Students Talk to Astronauts

Call for Proposals -- Window is September 15 – November 15, 2017

The Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) Program is seeking formal and informal education institutions and organizations, individually or working together, to host an Amateur Radio contact with a crewmember on board the ISS. ARISS anticipates that the radio contact would be held between Jul 1, 2018 and Dec 31, 2018. Crew scheduling and ISS orbits determine the exact dates. To maximize these radio contact opportunities, ARISS is looking for organizations that will draw large numbers of participants and integrate the contact into a well-developed education plan. Students learn about technology, communications, and science studied on board the ISS.

The deadline to submit a proposal is November 15, 2017. For proposal information and details such as expectations, proposal guidelines, proposal form and days/times of proposal webinars where questions are answered, go to http://www.ariss.org/hosting-an-ariss-contact-in-the-us.html

Please direct any questions to [mailto:ariss.us.education@gmail.com ariss.us.education@gmail.com]

ARISS Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) lets students worldwide experience the excitement of talking directly with crew members of the International Space Station (ISS), inspiring them to pursue interests in careers in science, technology, engineering and math, and engaging them with radio science technology through amateur radio.

 * 7th: When you are on a spacewalk, were you ever afraid? We have our own ham radio club.  When in the best time to make an unscheduled contact with the ISS?


 * 8th: What do you have Robonaut 2 doing on the ISS now? Do you think that mankind or families will ever be able to live in space? Who or what inspired you to become an astronaut?

Press Release 2012.09.07

BURNS STEM SCHOOL IS ONE OF 18 SCHOOLS IN THE USA SELECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN Q&A WITH INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION VIA AMATEUR RADIO on 9/13/2012 at 2:21 PM EDT.

Burns Science and Technology Charter School (www.burnsscitech.org) via ARISS program (http://ariss.rac.ca/oindex.htm) will be chatting with Expedition 32 crew members ( http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/expeditions/expedition32/index.html) aboard the ISS on Thursday, September 13th at 2:21 PM EDT for 10 minutes of live radio communication.

Coordinated efforts of the school, NASA, the Daytona Beach Amateur Radio Association and myriad volunteers are providing the Burns Sci-Tech students with this once in a lifetime experience. Besides the thrill of communicating with the space station, these lucky kids are applying science, math and technology they are learn in Burns classrooms (some of which are recycled buildings from the NASA space shuttle program). To help prepare the students for this most exciting experience, NASA educators have visited Burns Sci-Tech, demonstrating some of the inventions (Velcro, disposable diapers, medical telemetry) which have come from the space program.

Governor Scott and many local dignitaries have been invited to attend the ARISS radio relay. The RSVP list is not available at this time.
