Pinson Valley Students Hope to Talk to Astronaut:

Students at Pinson Valley High School might get the opportunity to conduct a live interview with a astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS). According to a press release, the school is one of 13 U.S. educational organizations that have been selected by the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS) U.S. program to move into the second phase toward participating in a scheduled Amateur Radio contact with the ISS next year. Pinson Valley's proposal efforts are led by a team of faculty members, steered by English teacher Jennifer Moore. Through phase 2, Moore and her team will submit an equipment plan to the ARISS program, which will review the document for acceptance.
