Sandringham students talk to Tim Peake GB1SS using amateur radio – BBC TV screenshot<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The ten school contacts with Tim Peake on the ISS during his Principia mission have inspired thousands of young people and introduced them to amateur radio in a new and exciting way. A new RSGB video celebrates these historic events and the range of linked activities the schools have enjoyed.<\/p>\n

\"Students<\/a><\/p>\n

Students at Derby High School Bury used amateur radio to link up with Tim Peake<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Beginning with the exhilaration of the launch, it follows the competition for schools to host the ARISS contacts, and showcases the variety of science, technology, engineering, maths (STEM) and arts activities that helped pupils to understand more about space and amateur radio.<\/p>\n

The contacts themselves, often led by newly-licensed pupils, were the successful culmination of many months of work and anticipation. We congratulate everyone involved and hope you enjoy our celebration.<\/p>\n
