Kuwaiti students to speak to International Space Station

Hello there,

Finally got to organize the radio contact with International Space Station for the students.

Kuwait doesn't have an amateur radio third party agreement, so the radio contact is set to be a Telebridge via a ground station in Hawaii.

Eleven students will have the opportunity to talk with astronaut Jeff Williams, KD5TVQ. The Telebridge contact will take a place at The Scientific Center Kuwait on Wednesday 28 June, 2006 at 11:26 UTC (2:26 pm local time).

You can listen to it LIVE online at: http://www.discoveryreflector.ca/

I hope this event will inspire the students and others to learn more about space.
