Lowcountry Students to Speak with ISS Astronauts:

Palmetto Scholars Academy students in grades 6-12 will have an opportunity
to speak with an astronaut aboard the International Space Station via
amateur radio on Friday, February 10. The ISS will be in radio range for
about 10 minutes starting at 12:50 p.m., allowing up to 18 PSA students the
chance to ask a question to Commander Shane Kimbrough. PSA was selected as
one of eight organizations from across the nation to participate in the
first half of 2017 as part of a program sponsored by ARISS - Amateur Radio
on the International Space Station. Through the use of HAM radios, PSA
students will have about a 10-minute window to communicate with Kimbrough,
starting at 12:59 p.m. The radio requires line of sight communication. The
ISS will break over the school's horizon at that time and its orbit will
put it out of reach very quickly.
