Galaxy Theatres hosts Space Station downlink with studentsJan 5, 2009, 03:55 PM ET
Students from Key Peninsula Middle School in Lakebay, Washington,
one of two NASA Explorer Schools in Washington State, will
participate in a special event when they receive a call from the
International Space Station. Students at the school will join a
live in-flight education downlink with the International Space
Station at Galaxy Theatres in Gig Harbor on Jan. 21, between 10:30
a.m. and 12:00 noon PST.
The 20-minute live question-and-answer session will feature Expedition 18 astronauts Mike Fincke and Sandra Magnus. This is the second event of its kind to be held in Washington State. The downlink will be carried on multiple screens, and is free to the public. Students from Peninsula School District's Vaughn Elementary School, Harbor Ridge Middle School and Peninsula High School will also participate. Key Peninsula Middle School students currently engage in aerospace learning experiences, research, and simulations that expose them to the challenges of human space exploration. The NASA Explorer School program at Key Peninsula Middle School, currently in its fifth year, provides many extended opportunities for students to engage in science, math, engineering, and technology-related critical-thinking projects. To prepare for the downlink, Key Peninsula students studied the history and mission of the space station and mission control, rocket fabrication, astronaut selection and training, and mission control and station operations. For more information about this downlink or about the NASA Explorer School program at Key Peninsula Middle School, contact Kareen Borders at bordersk@psd401.net. “We are proud to be a part of this unique event,” said Frank Rimkus, chief executive officer for Galaxy Theatres, LLC. “Galaxy Theatres is committed to providing use of our state-of-the-art theatres to support the educational needs of the communities we serve.” The downlink will air live worldwide on NASA Television and will also be available on the Web at www.nasa.gov/ntv.
