An ARISS contact between students at Stella Maris College, Gzira, Malta, callsign 9H1MRL and the International Space Station (ISS) is scheduled for 12:34 GMT on Wednesday, February 15.<\/p>\n

The ISS crew member will be astronaut Josh Cassada KI5CRH<\/strong><\/a> who will be using the ISS callsign OR4ISS. The downlink frequency is 145.800 MHz and the signal should be receivable in the British Isles and Europe.<\/p>\n

A little bit of information about the school follows. Stella Maris College is a Lasallian school. It takes its inspiration from its founder John Baptist de la Salle. In the Christian faith, John De La Salle is venerated as the Patron Saint of Teachers.<\/p>\n

Basically, a Lasallian School has the following characteristics:
\nA) respect for each student as a unique person.
\nB) A strong spirit of Community.
\nC) A school of Quality.
\nD) A school that embraces everyone.
\nE) Shows special preference for persons who are considered poor financially, morally, physically, psychologically.<\/p>\n

Mission statement:
\nOur school is a place where everyone strives to create and nurture a holistic, inclusive and well-ordered learning climate thereby ensuring a high-quality, values-based academic preparation.<\/p>\n

The school has an astronomical observatory and electronics forms part of the school curriculum.<\/p>\n

The contact is being conducted by five local radio amateurs and we call ourselves ARISS team Malta; Dominic 9H1M, Manuel 9H1GW, Andrew 9H2AV, Trevor 9H5TS and Anthony 9H2AS. We have set up a station at the school\u2019s auditorium and a 10 element crossed Yagi and rotator on the roof.<\/p>\n

The whole event will be streamed live on YouTube on the following URL:\n<\/p>\n
