ARISS contact with Kent primary school
Children at St Peter-In-Thanet CE Junior School in Broadstairs, Kent had an ‘out of this world’ experience this week, with an ARISS-UK contact between the school and NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli, KI5WSL on board the International Space Station.
It was an exciting and inspiring day for all involved. RSGB Board Chair Stewart Bryant, G3YSX attended the event and met ESA reserve astronaut Meganne Christian, who encouraged the children to ‘dream big’.
The morning’s events can be watched on the ARISS YouTube channel.
The event featured on local BBC and ITV news programmes that evening. You can listen to coverage on BBC Radio Kent (from 2:39:40) and read more on ITV news.
