Students in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, made a very special long distance call
this week when students connected with the International Space Station. On
Wednesday, students from Kiilinik High School and Kullik elementary got 15
minutes to talk with American astronaut Jeff Williams. First Air helped
bring in representatives from the Amateur Radio on the International Space
Station group to set up the contact, which was done via telephone link with
a ground station in Australia. This was Kiilinik Principal Roman Mahnic's
second contact event -- there was one at his previous school, Samuel Hearne
secondary in Inuvik, N.W.T., in 2009. "It becomes really exciting when
you're waiting for the contact," he said.
