ARISS contact planned for schools in Vilnius, Lithuania An International Space Station school contact has been planned for Scott Tingle KG5NZA with Vilniaus Jono Basanaviciaus Gymnasium together with Vilniaus Jono Basanaviciaus Progymnasium, Vilnius, Lithuania The event is scheduled on Monday 12 February 2018 at approximately 12:45 UTC. The contact will be a direct operated by LY1BWB. The contact should be audible in parts of Europe. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.800 MHz FM downlink. School Information: We are students of the Vilnius Jonas Basanaviciaus Gymnasium and Progymnasium. Both of the schools are located in Vilnius, in the capital of Lithuania. Here we are taught of all basic subjects such as physics, chemistry, biology, math, etc. Our project team was assembled from both schools and each member has their own motivation to join, some of us are here to see what it's like to make an amateur radio contact and talk to a person in space, some are here for the generic experience, while others try to figure out if space science would be what they want to do in their future lives. Our team extends from writers, filmmakers to technical people, so everyone can try out everything and do what they like most. Best thing about this project is that it is a very unique way to celebrate the 100 years of Lithuania??s independence. All involved students will be able to mark this historical moment with such a powerful milestone and inspire future generations so that they never stop learning new things and never give up reaching new horizons.
