[John Spasojevich]

Please join us in listening to an International Space Station school
contact  with participants at
St Anthony's Parish Primary School, Canberra, Australia on Tuesday 3
April. AOS scheduled for 08:15 UTC.
The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds.
The contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and VK5ZAI.
The contact should be audible over  Australia and adjacent areas.
Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz
downlink.
The contact is expected to be conducted in English.

St Anthony's School is located in the suburb of Wanniassa, which is part of
the central region of the Tuggeranong Valley in the Australian Capital
Territory. Currently the school has an enrolment of 528 students with
generally three classes in each of 7 Year levels from Kindergarten (the
first year of primary school in the ACT) to Year 6. Our average class size
is 1 teacher to 26 students. We have a strong Integrated Unit of Inquiry
programs that primarily focus on authentic experiences that the ARISS
program would facilitate.

Audio from this contact will be available on the:

EchoLink *AMSAT* (101377) and *JK1ZRW* (277208) servers

Audio on Echolink & Web Stream is generally transmitted around 20 minutes
prior to the contact taking place so that you can hear some of the
preparation that occurs. IRLP will begin just prior to the ground station
call to the ISS.

Please note that on Echolink there are automatic breaks of 1.5 seconds in
the audio transmission. These occur every 2.5 minutes during the event.
Breaks on IRLP are manual and occur approximately after every third
question.

** Contact times are approximate. If the ISS executes a reboost or other
maneuver, the AOS (Acquisition Of Signal) time may alter by a few minutes
