What’s a more remote and isolated place than Antarctica? Earth orbit aboard the International Space Station. Newsline reports that ISS astronaut Kjell Lindgren, KO5MOS, got a chance to compare notes with students living on the Esperanza Antarctic base, an Argentine research station. The base has a school for researchers’ family members, with two teachers and 16 students, ranging in age from 3 to 21. The ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station) contact was coordinated by AMSAT Belgium, which set up a telebridge for the contact.
