The briefing about the programme was started from Amateur Radio Club, Washington DC K6DUE by the programme mentor Mr Eskil SM5SRR from Sweden at 1240 Hrs IST through teleconferencing.

At 1341 Hrs IST (0811 UTC) when the ISS reached over Washington DC our contact was established with Astronaut Tim Kopra KE5UDN who was at ISS module NA1SS.  School teacher Mrs Shilpa Tripathi PGT Physics was coordinating the programme from School side and Mr Dinesh Chandra Sharma (VU2DCT) Secretary HAL Scout Group Amateur Radio Club (VU2LKO) Lucknow was ARISS programme coordinator for Lucknow region. The ASIA- Pacific coordinator of the programme was Mr Satoshi Yasuda 7M3TJZ from Japan.

To fulfill Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) goals for students education an unique programme for students has been started by NASA and other space agencies including Canada, Russia, the European Partners, and Japan & other international partners like AMSAT, ARRL, RAC etc. known as ARISS.  
ARISS (Amateur Radio on International Space Station) offers an opportunity for students to experience the excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with crew members onboard the International Space Station. Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how Amateur Radio and crew members on ISS can energize youngsters' interest in science, technology and learning.


  First time in Uttar Pradesh such scientific and highly technical event was organized for students.

Upcoming ARISS Contacts : H.A.L. School, Lucknow, India

Upcoming ARISS Contacts

http://www.ariss.org/upcoming-contacts.html
​as of May 9, 2016
  • A  telebridge contact via K6DUE  with students at H.A.L. School, Lucknow, India is scheduled for Thu 2016-05-1208:11:20 UTC 79 deg. The scheduled astronaut is Tim Kopra KE5UDN.

Nestled in cosy, lush green and safe sphere is the prestigious education hub HAL School has inscribed a saga of success!  Installed in 1974, the school has come a long way. The visionary founders dreamed of an ideal and prosperous institution whose torch bearers and pupils would write a history of academic excellence besides versatility in additional activities. Teachers burnt midnight oil and left no stone unturned and the students responded with equal dedication and brought laurels. Being a member of HAL factory, school frequently bore the responsibility of hosting memorable guests from Russia and celebrities like first Indian astronaut Wg.cdr Rakesh Sharma (Retd), President (Late) Dr APJ Abdul Kalam etc.

The school not only organized but also participated in major events organized by HAL Factory year by year. The recent activity which has caught momentum is ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) which is active all the world over and now has come as a great opportunity for HAL School to be the first in state (Uttar Pradesh) to contact with International Space Station and eminent astronauts, participate in seminars, presentations and workshops and associate themselves with radio academically. The School has been involved in many Amateur Radio activities like Amateur radio demonstration for students, JOTA for Scouts & Guides etc. There were 6 students who took the Amateur Radio licences during their studies in school.

 Workshops by eminent counsellors/experts/guest faculty/agencies from various fields benefitted the students in personality development and career counselling/awareness/advice. Year by year the number of such sessions has multiplied and continues till date. The concrete and farsighted plans and strategies are being worked upon. Innovation, modification, changes and publicity efforts are on to make better the things. The improved education, basic facilities, performance of both teacher and taught, inclusion of teachers training/orientation programmes are in pipe line for makeover of the school.


  • A telebridge contact via W6SRJ with students at AstroNuts Kids Space Club  Academy, Duncan Observatory, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada, is scheduled for Sat 2016-05-14 17:37:12 UTC 33 deg. The  scheduled astronaut is Timothy Peake KG5BVI.

The “Whats up in Space” Camp & STEM Contest was created by a 13 year-old, Brett Bielecki and father Ray, 5 years ago in order to ignite the curiosities of hundreds of elementary school children to learn about “all things space”. Our volunteer-based space camp is held at the world famous David Dunlap Observatory in Richmond Hill Ontario where the children are engaged and inspired by 20 volunteer space educators, multiple Skype guests and educational activities in a fun and educational setting. The children’s STEM contest brings together dozens of innovative future astronauts, scientists educators and engineers in the spirit of competition. Our space camp was launched because of the high interest for space education by elementary school students, their parents and teachers when they recognized the value of the “AstroNuts kids space club."
