Kuwaiti Students Contact the International Space Station

Yes, I am coordinating this big event and it will be first for Kuwait to students to speak with astronaut in space. Amateur Radio on the International Space Station [ARISS] received my application for The Scientific Center Kuwait. It will be a telebrigde contact for 10 minutes. From 10 to 12 students will have the opportunity to ask the astronauts question about space. The scheduled contact may be this summer.

For this week I need to prepare 20 questions for the astronaut. Now, I need your help. If you have any questions you want to ask astronaut Jeffrey Williams, you can leave a comment here!


Here is the E-mail I recieved from Gaston Bertes, ARISS- Europe Chairman:

"An ARISS School Contact Application has been submitted for Kuwait Scientific Center in Salmiyah.ARISS counts five Regions and the Middle East is taken care of by theEuropean Region. I will examine the best way to handle yourApplication.I understand your choice is a telebridge. In that case the radiocontact with the ISS will be done by one of the ARISS groundstationsand the link with the Center in Kuwait will be done by a regularphoneline. All you need in the Center is a secured phoneline and ateleconference phone with external microphone and line output (forpublic address and recording facilities)....

I am delighted to work with you on this project and I am lookingforward to your e-mail.
