Coastal Community School spoke Astronaut Suni Williams on the ISS!
Watch our conversation with Suni Williams HERE
Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) seeks schools and organizations to have contact with ISS astronauts via radio to further education and interest in STEM and radio science technology.
How did we pick students?
- Interested students submitted an application.
- A panel of CCS staff selected students based solely on the quality of the answers provided in the application (student names were hidden during the selection process), with at least one student per grade selected.
- 14 students were selected to read the school's questions live via HAM radio directly to astronaut Suni Williams aboard the ISS.
- ALL Coastal students and families were invited to hear from the astronauts!
When did this happen?
The morning of October 30, 2024, at 13:42 | 9:42 AM ET. It was a huge success!
