On Friday 12th June the “ Vrije Basisschool Terbank – Egenhoven” (a primary school in Heverlee near Louvain) made a telebridge with Frank De Winne in the ISS. Our project leader mr Patriek Detemmerman also attended this very first Belgian connection with Frank De Winne (ON1DWN)
Information about the communication: OR4ISS (Frank De Winne ON1DWN) and the “Vrije
Basisschool Terbank-Egenhoven” in Heverlee via a Telebridge on Friday 12th June 2009 at 11.38 UTC.
The recording was made by means of a IC821H Transceiver, piloted by HRD and “10 elements cross yagi –antenne”, steered by ARSWIN and Nova-tracking software; Downlink frequency: 145.803.414 MHz
The stream is useful for the preparation of our project VTISL-ARISS with questions to astronaut Frank De Winne (ON1DWN), planned in September.

The project inspired the 5th class “Industrial Science” to write a French storyboard in the French lessons: “Frankdewinnix à l’ ISS”, inspired by and led by mrs Leen De Boever.
The pupils of the fourth year Industrial sciences and their guiding teacher Dhaene G. have drawn the antenna in 3D.

Mister Vande Kerckhove has a special interest in 3D- designs.
We were send next impression cause to our space travel project VTISL-ARISS.
The designer called it ‘ATLAS ROCKET ‘.
We will be present on the VRI space days
What will be seen?
