[John Spasojevich]

Please join us in listening to the ISS contact with participants at the

*ESA 2014 Space Camp, Rossall School, Fleetwood, United Kingdom on Tuesday
29 July 2014*

*AOS is anticipated at 14:01 UTC *

The duration of the contact is approximately 9 minutes and 30 seconds. The
contact will be a telebridge between NA1SS and W6SRJ in California. The
contact should be audible over the west coast of the U.S. Interested
parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The contact is
expected to be conducted in English.

This annual camp is organised by the ESA Space Camp Committee takes place
in a different European country each summer for 2 weeks. This year the camp
takes place between 27 July and 10 August where 185 young space explorers
aged 8 to 17 will meet each other in the UK at Rossall School. The children
come from the following ESA establishments (UK, France, Spain, Italy, The
Netherlands and Germany).

This will be the 20th Space Camp organised by ESA. This year the children
will also be involved in celebrating this milestone with marking 50 years
of ESA. Children, their parents and educators from the area will join the
ESA campers on this special celebration day.

Audio from this contact will be fed into the:

EchoLink *AMSAT* (101377)

IRLP Node 9010 Discovery Reflector

Audio/video web streaming should be available on
Http://www.batc.tv/streams/arissuk/ <http://www.batc.tv/streams/arissuk/>


Audio on Echolink 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
manoeuvre, the AOS (Acquisition Of Signal) time may alter by a few minutes
