MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN STUDENTS CALL SPACE STATION CREW

     Minnesota and Wisconsin students will experience the excitement of 
space flight next week when they make an out-of-this-world phone call to 
the International Space Station Expedition 10 crew.

The event is from 10:40 to 11 a.m. EST, Tuesday, February 8, at 
Crossroads Elementary School, St. Paul, Minn. The event includes a video 
downlink with Station Commander Leroy Chiao and Flight Engineer Salizhan 
Sharipov. Nearly 700 students in grades 3-8 are expected to participate. 
Community residents may view the event live through a partnership with a 
local television station.

The students represent four area NASA Explorer Schools:
* Crossroads Elementary School, St. Paul
* Farnsworth Aerospace Elementary Magnet School, St. Paul
* Bryn-Mawr Elementary and Anwatin Middle School, Minneapolis
    (Partnering as one NASA Explorer School)
* Cumberland Middle School, Cumberland, Wisc.
