BATESVILLE, AR (KAIT) -- Some Batesville elementary students got the chance to speak to an astronaut aboard the International Space Station Wednesday morning. The kindergarten through sixth-grade students who gathered in the auditorium was very excited for the opportunity to learn more about life in space. Central Magnet Math and Science Elementary School is one of just 13 schools in the country that will get to talk to the space station this year. School Resource Officer Lt. Cord Davidson is an amateur radio operator and knew about NASA's program, so he filled out an application for the school. "I had to go through an application process that was similar to writing a grant," Lt. Davidson said. "We had to set up lesson plans with our teachers and we've been focusing on space travel and the International Space Station leading up to this event." Ten students communicated with astronaut Scott Tingle from an amateur radio on the ISS, which was over Europe at the time.
