Hays Elementary students recently spoke with a member of the International Space Station using Amateur Radio to talk directly with one of the astronauts aboard the ISS.
   
ARISS is a joint venture by NASA, the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), and the Radio Amateur Satellite Corporation (AMSA T) to facilitate communication via Amateur Radio between astronauts aboard the International Space Station and schools and communities around the world. ARISS programs excite and motivate students in a one-of-a-kind presentation and exchange.
