ARISS radio contact
For primary school pupils we are initiating and managing radio contacts with European astronauts during missions to the International Space Station.
For Pedro Duque's flight in October 2003 we started our first programme called 'Habla ISS' in Spanish. For André Kuipers flight we used our experience to develop 'Zeg het ISS' for Dutch and Flemish schoolchildren.
Children at primary schools in Germany are currently being invited to take part in the 'ich will's wISSen' contest - the winners will be invited to an ARISS event where they will talk to Thomas Reiter on board the Internationl Space Station.
