About This Activity
What is it like to become an astronaut and work on the ISS? What training is required to work out of this world? Students will spend the week exploring what Astronauts do in this orbiting laboratory and learn about the science and engineering research on the ISS. This week of exploration and engineering includes training in radio transmission and reception of voice, data, and images. The students will learn radio language protocols and how to track and map satellites which will be useful as students will speak live, by Ham Radio, with an astronaut currently aboard the ISS. Tuition includes $25 materials fee. Camps have a maximum enrollment and many fill quickly each year. Register early to avoid disappointment. Register before June 1 to avoid a late registration fee. Early drop off (8 am) and late pick up (4 pm) are available for $15/day. Email registration@kopernik.org for information.
