Shanghai Youth Center of Science & Technology Education (SYCSTE), an institution directly under the Shanghai Education committee, was founded on June 1 1957 and it is one of the earliest after-school educational centers for teenager in China. SYCSTE has actively played an important role in the provision of guidance, training, coordination, service and demonstration for the science and technology education carried by different districts and regions in Shanghai and has promoted the great popularization and improvement of science and technology education for Shanghai's teenagers. The above activities are carried out in accordance with the demands of quality-oriented education and the curriculum and textbook reforms, following the characteristics and rules of after-school education. Through training, guidance and activities, SYCSTE devotes itself to cultivating and enhancing students' abilities. We have been operating the SYCSTE Amateur Radio Club (Club call: BY4AY) since 04 May. 1987. We primarily educate students on learning techniques for radio communications and making electronic toys, as well as mastering the practical operation for amateur radio communications. Over 20 license-hiders have graduated form our club at present. The main purpose of our club is to expos our students to the interesting world of natural science. And through various experiments, students achieve a true feeling of satisfaction by reaching targets set by themselves.

Three steps to ATV docking
"The spacecraft is functioning perfectly, the team is very well trained and we are looking forward to an excellent first docking attempt on 3 April. It will be complex, but after our successful launch and early orbit phase, and the transfer to the parking orbit, the entire team here on the ground has gained a lot of confidence in themselves and in Jules Verne," says Alberto Novelli, ESA's Mission Director at the ATV Control Centre (ATV-CC) in Toulouse, France.
