International Space Station Expedition 11's next ARISS 
school contact will be with students at Hosokawa Junior 
High School, Ikeda, Osaka, Japan on Monday, 9 May 2005. 
The event is scheduled to begin at approximately 08:00 
UTC.

This contact will be direct between stations NA1SS and 
8N3H in Osaka, Japan, so it should be audible to anyone in 
the area to people listening in on the 145.80 MHz 
downlink. The participants will conduct the conversation 
in English.

'Hosokawa Junior High School is located in the city 
"Ikeda" which is contiguous to the big city "Osaka." The 
21st anniversary of foundation is celebrated by the end of 
this year. We have 341 students. Various activities are 
performed to the theme of school in "To support students 
to do creative learning at school.”'

Students will ask as many of the following questions as 
time allows:

1. What is the most painstaking thing for you in space?
2. What kinds of food do you eat in the spaceship?
3. What is the thing you are most surprised at in the 
universe?
4. How many people are working in the space station now?
5. How long does it take until you can become an 
astronaut?
6. Is working in space fun?
7. Where do you keep the food you eat in the spaceship?
8. What is the thing you are worried about in the state of 
weightlessness?
9. What do you do when you get dizzy and feel like being 
sick?
10. Have you ever had a time when you ran short of food?
11. How do you feel when you are floating in space?
12. Is it true that the Earth looks beautiful from space?
13. What is your first impression of space?
14. Is there a doctor on the spaceship?
15. What do you do when you are free?
16. Is space hot or cold?
17. What kinds of training are needed to be an astronaut?
18. What kinds of clothes do you wear in the spaceship?
19. How do you like life in the spaceship?
20. How do you sleep when you go to bed?
21. What kinds of studies are needed to be an astronaut?
22. What do you do when you want to use the toilet?
23. What do the stars and moon look like?  Are they 
different from the earth?
24. Is life in the spaceship convenient for you?

Please note, the amateur equipment on the ISS will be 
turned off prior to the beginning of the contact. It will 
be returned to service as quickly as possible.

ARISS is an international educational outreach program 
partnering the participating space agencies, NASA, Russian 
Space Agency, ESA, CNES, JAXA, and CSA, with the AMSAT and 
IARU organizations from participating countries. ARISS 
offers an opportunity for students to experience the 
excitement of Amateur Radio by talking directly with 
crewmembers on-board the International Space Station. 
Teachers, parents and communities see, first hand, how 
Amateur Radio and crewmembers on ISS can energize 
youngsters' interest in science, technology, and learning. 
Further information on the ARISS programme is available on 
the website http://www.rac.ca/ariss (graciously hosted by 
the Radio Amateurs of Canada). Information about the next 
scheduled ARISS contact can be found at
