be handled. Jean-Marie Delacour F5AQB operated the contact.
The students and teachers were delighted
about their space talk with astronaut Paolo Nespoli IR0ISS, which they will
never forget.
Teacher Pascal Drouvin F8JZR and his
students asked that a photo of the participants (see annex) with grateful thanks be
forwarded to Paolo Nespoli onboard the International Space Station. This was
done.
The radio-club F6KJJ worked hard on this
project together with the school. All were happy with a successful
accomplishment under difficult conditions.
Congratulations to the school, the
students and the team.
