Tregaron High School in Tregaron, Ceredigion, Wales, United Kingdom, has been scheduled for an ARISS contact. It will take place on Thursday, September 29 at 11:28 UTC

We have made a 500-user Windows Media live streaming video facility available for this event, the URL is
http://www.streamingwizard.com/clients/space.asx so you get to see it live, warts and all!

I am providing both a 43kbps dial-up and a 190kbps broadband feed, and it is available with a test card most of the time before the event for you to test your Media Players before the event.

As well as our primary AMSAT-UK supplied ISS equipment, tried-and-tested over previous events, we also have a full backup station with generator courtesy of the RSGB's GB4FUN communications demonstration vehicle

This will be the first time that a students from Wales have had the opportunity to chat to astronauts in orbit as part of the ARISS program.
