School Information:

Three schools participate in one ARISS school contact. The Complex of High Schools in Zelow and The 1st High School in Lask were invited to cooperate with the main organizer of the event: The Complex of the Primary School and the Junior High School in Buczek, because students from one school very often continue their education in another school on the next educational level.

These three schools are an example of education levels in Poland. They are situated in the central part of Poland. The Complex of the Primary School and the Junior High School (Zespol Szkoly Podstawowej i Publicznego Gimnazjum) in Buczek is a primary school together with a secondary school. Since 2016 the school has been changed into one Primary School. It is a community school located in the center of Poland. The school was built in 1950, there are 18 classrooms, 2 IT rooms, a canteen, two ordinary gym rooms and one newly constructed modern gym. There are 369 students at school and highly educated staff. The school is known for its safety, warmth, friendship and working together. Zelow is located about 6 km from Buczek.

The Complex of High Schools (Zespol Szkol Ogolnoksztalacych ) in Zelow consists of the primary school, junior school, and secondary school. The secondary school was built in 1957, whereas in 1999 the Complex of schools have been established. There are 23 classrooms, modern library assembly hall, gym, sports ground and observatory equipped with the camera registering bolides and transferring the data to the Polish Bolides Net. 363 students attend our school. The school is famous for realizing various projects and cooperation with different organizations, i.e. Amnesty International. Since 2017 teachers and students have been participating in the program Erasmus.

Lask is located about 10km from Buczek and about 15km from Zelow. The 1st High School (I Liceum Ogolnoksztalcące im. Tadeusza Kosciuszki) in Lask is the oldest Polish secondary school in this city. It is an outstanding didactic institution which has been sustaining the highest level of education as well as the place of particular aura, where all the graduates have been talking with pleasure and sentiment about. Having worked for years with the original methods with talented students has contributed to the high place of our school in the national school rankings. This success is owed to the plenty of students who have won diverse contests in different subjects. Graduated students continue higher education studying.

The Amateur Radio Club SP7KYL is Association of Communication Section of Sport and Recreation JUPITER of Belchatow Power Plant. The Club unites 10 actively working licensed amateurs radio members. The club was founded in 1980. The Club launched and take care of two amateur radio analogous repeaters SR7E (2m) and SR7EB (70cm). The club is also co-organizer of national HAM radio technical meetings: SP-QRP Workshops (2007-2011) and The Technical Shortwave Convent (Zjazd Techniczny Krotkofalowcow) in Burzenin (since 2012). Members from this clubs visited and installed HAM radio equipment in each of mentioned schools to give their students a unique opportunity to talk by HAM radio.

School Information:

The Mars story of the school
The Mars project, envisioned by a student after watching Tim Peake's 2016 mission, is our chance to inspire more girls while in their formative years, to consider studying science at A level and beyond.

Since 1879 King's High Warwick has been championing girls in science and STEM subjects as one of the leading all-girls schools in the Midlands. The importance of girls' education back then was viewed as inferior to that of boys and the early headmistresses of King's set about trying to change that. Over a hundred years on girls and boy's education is viewed as equal, however the number of girls in science and STEM subjects is still not equal to our male counterparts; through school and into the workplace. Just 35% of girls choose maths, physics and computing compared to 94% of boys

The Project One campus is the latest opportunity for King's girls, consisting of brand new school buildings on the Warwick School site. It will feature state of the art science labs, enabling future generations of girls to study with the best facilities possible. The future King's girls at the Prep and local schools will use these labs for their time at King's and we believe the Mars Project will inspire them to see what studying STEM can lead to, helped by access to high quality equipment. The project will assist in creating a collaborative relationship between the wide variety of subjects that have previously had minimal cross over in their syllabuses. The focus on Mars and astronomy links directly to the A Level Physics syllabus, inspiring more girls to study physics beyond GCSE. The supra-curricula activities conducted as a part of the project, such as building rovers in DT widen the educational experience of girls and enable them to see the real-life applications !
 of their learning.

Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. (Eleanor G, Yr12): When we colonize Mars, what is the most important thing we need to learn from our ancestors' mistakes on Earth?
2. (Florence J, Yr 4): What types of weather can you get on Mars that we would have to tackle if humans were going to live there?
3. (Shubhangi B, Yr12): Considering the research into life support systems on the ISS and research into in-situ resource utilization, how long after the first manned mission to Mars do you think that a Mars colony can be self-sufficient?
4. (Gigi T, Yr9): Now that you are on the ISS would you have done anything differently during training, physically or mentally?
5. (Emma W, Yr12): Having experienced the vastness of space, do you believe there are other forms of life in the universe?
6. (Maddy S-L, Yr11): How has your journey to space changed your perspective on human life?
7. (Imogen M, Yr11): What aspect of space travel do you think needs to be improved in the next 10 years to get us further into space?
8. (Evey H, Yr12): What is the most magnificent place on Earth from space?
9. (Rosie S, Yr7): How does not having daylight or seasons in space affect you compared to being on Earth?
10. (Olivia L, Yr6): Is it true that the atmosphere changes your sense of taste up in space?
11. (Shivanshi B, Yr9): How does the feeling of weightlessness compare to the training underwater on Earth?
12. (Martha F, Yr10): How far into the future is the technology needed to make travelling between solar systems the norm?
13. (Olivia B, Yr11): We all know space can be a dangerous environment. How do you and your fellow astronauts protect yourselves whilst on the ISS?
14. (Emma C, Yr11): What does your training on Earth entail to help you cope with the effects of the lack of gravity on your sleep?
15. (Emma R, Yr9): What part of nature do you miss most from Earth when you are in space?
16. (Holly S, Yr10): How difficult is it for your body to adjust to life in space?
17. (Amy P, Yr9): What's the one thing that surprised you most when you first saw Earth from space?
18. (Jade B, Yr11): What's your advice to young people dreaming of becoming involved in space programs?

REP-ARISS: SSTV desde a Estação Espacial Internacional (ISS)

Caros colegas

A estação de Radioamador na Estação Espacial Internacional (ARISS) inspira os estudantes, em todo o mundo, a procurar interesses e carreiras em ciência, tecnologia, engenharia e matemática através de oportunidades de comunicação de radioamador com a tripulação em órbita da Estação Espacial Internacional (ISS) . 
Os alunos aprendem sobre a vida a bordo da ISS e exploram a Terra do espaço através de atividades científicas e matemáticas. 
A ARISS oferece oportunidades para a comunidade escolar (alunos, professores, famílias e membros da comunidade) tornarem-se mais conscientes dos benefícios substanciais dos voos espaciais tripulados e da exploração e descoberta que ocorrem em viagens de voos espaciais. 
Os estudantes têm a oportunidade de aprender sobre as tecnologias espaciais e as tecnologias envolvidas na comunicação espacial através da exploração de rádio amador.
 

As organizações de radioamadores e agências espaciais nos EUA, Rússia, Canadá, Japão e Europa patrocinam esta oportunidade educacional, fornecendo o equipamento e apoio operacional para permitir a comunicação direta entre a equipa da ISS e estudantes de todo o mundo através do Radioamadorismo. 
Centenas de operadores de radioamadores em todo o mundo trabalham nos bastidores para possibilitar essas experiências educacionais. 
A Radioamadorismo é um passatempo popular e um serviço no qual participantes licenciados operam equipamentos de comunicação com uma profunda apreciação da arte da rádio.

A ARISS foi criada e é gerida por um grupo de trabalho internacional, incluindo vários países da Europa, além do Japão, Rússia, Canadá e EUA. 
A organização é dirigida por voluntários das organizações nacionais de radioamadores e pelas organizações internacionais AMSAT (Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation) de cada país. Como a ARISS é de âmbito internacional, a equipe coordena localmente com sua respectiva agência espacial e como uma equipa internacional por meio de reuniões,teleconferências e webinars do grupo de trabalho ARISS.

O grupo de trabalho REP-ARISS é um destes grupo que porprociona a todos os que gostam de comunicações momentos tal como o que decorreu de 11 a 14 de abril de 2018 comemorando o Dia da Cosmonáutica, foram transmitidas 12 imagens comemorativas e recebidas por todo o Mundo.

O grupo REP-ARISS com a divulgação na sua página dedicada em http://www.rep.pt/cs5ss e no Facebook das imagens recebidas pela estação CS5SS instalada nas instalações da Uninova na Caparica, tem a sensação de missão cumprida quando se verifica a adesão dos radioamadores Nacionais em aderir à receção das imagens transmitidas em SSTV e com as publicações nos seus perfis do Facebook.


A todos os que participaram , os nossos Parabéns!

P´REP-ARISS Portugal
Muito Obrigado.
