An audience of approximately 140 students, teachers and parents attended
Switzerland's first ARISS contact between the ISS and Schulhaus Feld 1
on April 19. Radio Zurichsee, and two newpapers, Zürichsee Zeitung and
Tages Anzeiger, covered the event. This school was Leroy Chiao's
twenty-third contact, making him the new record holder of most contacts
performed during one mission on the ISS. ARRL's article, "Expedition 10
