Schools can apply for ARISS contact
Schools in Great Britain and Northern Ireland will soon be able to apply for an amateur radio contact with an astronaut on the International Space Station. If the application is successful, the contacts could take place in the latter half of 2025.
The RSGB is encouraging schools to apply as it is a great opportunity to integrate space into the STEM curriculum and to have the excitement of their pupils speaking to an astronaut!
Go to the ARISS website to find out more and download an application form in the ‘School Contacts’ section. The timeframe for submitting applications is between 1 September and 26 October 2024. If you want to be inspired, watch the RSGB’s celebration video of the ten Tim Peake school contacts in the ‘Excitement of amateur radio’ playlist on the RSGB YouTube channel
