AMSAT News Service Bulletin 025.07 From AMSAT HQ
SILVER SPRING, MD. January 25, 2004
To All RADIO AMATEURS
BID: $ANS-025.07
Astronauts aboard the International Space Station successfully contacted
students at Gilmour Academy in Gates Miles, Ohio via the ARISS program
(Amateur Radio on the International Space Station). Contact was made on
Friday, 02 January 2004 at approximately 14:00 UTC via amateur radio
equipment aboard the space station.
Gilmour Academy is a two-division private school with a Catholic tradition.
Gilmour is located in the Village of Gates Mills, which is 25 miles east of
the center of Metropolitan Cleveland, Ohio. The lower school is Montessori
through 6th grade, and the upper school is 7th through 12th grades. The
Academy has an amateur radio station, ND8GA, which is located in the upper
school where our enrollment (Grades 7-12) is approximately 400 students.
During their brief adventure, students asked astronaut Mike Foale 12
questions.
Their were about 50 people in the audience. Also present were at least one
newspaper and Fox TV.
Thanks to Dr. Foale and the ARISS team for the first ARISS contact of the
new year!
[ANS thanks Scott Lindsey-Stevens, N3ASA, for the above information]
