Currently the ARISS operations team has a list of over 60 schools that we
hope will be able to have a contact during 2003. As the schedule becomes
more solidified, we will be letting everyone know. Current plans call for
an average of one scheduled school contact per week.
[ANS thanks Charlie, AJ9N, for the above information]
