    School Information:
    MISSION:SOPHIE (Orbital Station for the Promotion of Microwaves, Inclusivity, and Space) is an educational and scientific project born from the collaboration between the Electrical Engineering and Industrial Computing Department of the IUT of Bordeaux (University of Bordeaux) and a network of 50 classes (*list below) across the Bordeaux academy (former Aquitaine region).
    The space mission of Sophie Adenot is a powerful and tangible source of inspiration for girls and boys in French schools. Through this project, we aim to break gender stereotypes and open up access to science, technology, and space to as many people as possible, with a particular focus on the role of women in STEM fields and on the accessibility of scientific careers.
    As of the latest count, MISSION:SOPHIE involves 1,547 students (419 in primary school, 528 in middle school, 254 in high school, 50 at university, and 296 who joined the project along the way). Since last autumn, these students have taken part in a wide range of hands-on activities: designing and building Morse code keys to understand the basics of radio communication, crisis simulation and radio beacon tracking, exploration of space technologies, and group work to tackle engineering and research challenges. These activities, supervised either by their teachers or by university students acting as science communicators, have allowed participants to experience science in a concrete way while developing their curiosity, critical thinking, and creativity.
    The goal of MISSION:SOPHIE is to plant a seed that will inspire future vocations among this remarkable generation of curious minds ready to take on tomorrows challenges. Through her ability to inspire wonder, Sophie Adenot brings us together: ' Isn't science amazing? '

    12:51 OR4ISS (Jack Hathaway KJ5NIV) - 36 deg - (TB) IK1SLD (Christchurch, New Zealand)
    AOS: 12:04:25 UTC 
    RX: 145.800 MHz - FM over Europe

    School Information:
    Diamond Harbour School, on Banks Peninsula, New Zealand, opened in 1945 and is a state, co-educational, full primary school catering for students aged 5 to 13.  The school has a roll of approximately 120 students of diverse ethnic origins. Some children attending the school are second (or even third) generation students. Even though many families have members who commute to work in the city of Christchurch, our community retains some rural characteristics which are reflected in the school. Diamond Harbour School is set on an ancient lava flow at the foot of Banks Peninsula’s highest peak, Mount Herbert. Situated right at the edge of suburban Diamond Harbour, the school has a stunning rural backdrop of paddocks, open space and the Port Hills. The north-facing school buildings have views out over Lyttelton Harbour, an extinct volcanic caldera which has collapsed and been flooded by the sea. As a small, semi-rural school, we are extremely grateful to be given this unique and one in a lifetime opportunity to speak to astronauts onboard the ISS. The students have been preparing for the event with a term of learning about space, radio communication and the International Space Station.

    Questions:
    1. Please could you describe the feeling of looking down on Earth for the first time from the space station?
    2. Can you feel gravity weaken as you go up in the rocket?
    3. What is your favourite thing about living aboard the ISS?
    4. How does it feel to exercise in space, does it feel any different to on Earth?
    5. Please can you describe your favourite science experiment that you have been a part of onboard the ISS?
    6. Is it scary?  Do you get scared at any point on the mission?
    7. What is the most dangerous thing you have experienced in Space?
    8. Can you describe what the most beautiful thing you have seen from the space station is and what it felt like seeing it?
    9. What does the Moon look like up close?
    10. How does it feel when you are standing in your astronaut suit outside the space station, ready for a space walk?
    11. Do you ever get lonely in space, even though there are other people with you?
    12. What do you like to do for fun on the ISS?
    13. When did you decide that you wanted to become an astronaut?
    14. What challenges did you have to face to become the astronaut you are today?
    15. When you get back home to Earth, how do you think it will feel to walk on land again?
    16. What do you think you are going to miss most about living on the space station when you get back to Earth?
