International Space Station Uplink From OMSI!
On February 25, 2003, OMSI was proud to participate in a very special event. Students from Silverton, Oregon - the hometown of Astronaut Dr. Donald Pettit - had the chance to talk with Dr. Pettit live via satellite uplink from the International Space Station. The students asked Dr. Pettit and his fellow Astronauts questions about space science and life aboard the space station. Even Dr. Pettit's 9th grade science teacher was there, and had the chance to speak with his former student. Read a transcript and check out photos from the broadcast.
