An International Space Station Expedition 15 ARISS school contact has been planned with participants at Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, Washington, DC., USA on 29 Sep. The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 16:28 UTC.

The contact will be a telebridge between stations NA1SS and WH6PN. The contact should be audible in Hawaii. Interested parties are invited to listen in on the 145.80 MHz downlink. In addition, the audio should be available via IRLP and EchoLink. The participants are expected to conduct the conversation in English.

The Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum maintains the largest collection of historic air and spacecraft in the world. It is also a vital center for research into the history, science, and technology of aviation and space flight, as well as planetary science and terrestrial geology and geophysics. This ARISS contact is part of the family day events Commemorating 50 Years in Space. This event is made possible by the generous support of the Charles Simonyi Fund for Arts and Sciences.
