Appendix ASchools wanting a scheduled SAREX radio contact with the astronauts arerequired to submit a proposal and a SAREX school application to ARRL, 225Main St., Newington CT 06111.While only a few schools get scheduled radio contacts per mission, all schoolscan participate by eavesdropping, or by trying to make a random contact withthe astronauts. Teachers can use lessons in this SAREX Guide to accompanytheir SAREX radio activities. Imagine listening in on the astronauts from yourclassroom! If you are a school teacher, but are unfamiliar with ham radio, youcan still take part in SAREX. Contact ARRL to get a list of your local AmateurRadio clubs to assist you.If your school is interested in SAREX, you must complete a SAREX schoolapplication and write an educational proposal. ARRL collects these for theSAREX Working Group who makes the final selection with the astronauts. Allgrade levels and type of schools (rural, suburban and particularly urban) areencouraged to apply. For a SAREX school application send a business-sizedself-addressed stamped envelope to ARRL, or e-mail your request for an electronicversion to: sarex@arrl.orgA proposal must accompany all completed applications. The SAREX WorkingGroup and NASA want to know:(1) How will you:(a) integrate this activity into the school curriculum, and(b) involve as many grade levels as you can, participating throughessay contests, poster drawing, letter writing, etc.?(2) Do you have an experienced group of hams to assist in setting up allnecessary Amateur Radio equipment and antennas?(3) How will you get as much media coverage as possible?Schools that have been selected for SAREX scheduled contacts are calledby a SAREX coordinator.NASA requires selections to be made about six months prior to launch. Ifa school is not chosen, its application is recycled for future missions. Note:Schools typically wait one year or longer.How Can I,a Teacher,Get Startedin SAREX?How Do IApply for aScheduled SchoolRadio Contact?How Will I KnowIf My School IsSelected For aContact?29 Amateur Radio in Space—A Teacher’s Guide With Activities in Science, Mathematics, and Technology
