International Space Station Expedition 11's sixth ARISS school contact will be with students at the Zurich International School, Horgen, Switzerland on Friday, 10 June 2005. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 09:10 UTC.
This contact will be direct between stations NA1SS and HB9ZIS, the school's amateur radio club. It should be audible to anyone in central and southern Europe listening in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. The participants will conduct the conversation in English.

A new capability was added to the operation of the ISS this week as a final round of tests to commission remote control of the Station's Canadarm2 robotic arm from the ground was completed.

The Baikonur cosmodrome marked its 50th anniversary Thursday. Baikonur launched the first satellite and the first man into space.
