ARISS to receive Boselli Award

The 'Associazione Italiana Radioascolto' A.I.R. (Italian Radio Listeners Association) has awarded the Boselli Prize 2010 to the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) program.

The A.I.R. Board found that ARISS meets every requirement for the award, which is bestowed on "radio enthusiasts who promote the culture of radio, showing the importance of radio communications to hundreds of young students in Italy, Europe and beyond, spreading the use of radio from the forefront of science in the vast outer space down to small classrooms."

The prize will be delivered on May 8 in Faenza during the A.I.R. annual meeting.
