<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">This morning during our Breakfast Show Radio Verulam in St Albans relayed a live link between local school Sandringham and astronaut Tim Peake in the International Space Station
in the few minutes when the ISS passed over St Albans.</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">It is worth mentioning that this achievement by the school did not involve simply plugging into ESA professional communications facilities but instead a direct two way radio
link using Amateur Radio equipment and a tracking satellite dish following the ISS across the sky above St Albans for around 8 minutes. I suspect not that many schools have such equipment (Sandringham has a thriving amateur radio club).</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size:13.5pt">Around 1,000 schools across the UK have applied to join the Principia project so many more will be doing something similar in the next few months - it might be worth seeing if
you can do something with any schools local to you. But Sandringham was the first to do this and so Radio Verulam was first to relay it too!</span></span><o:p></o:p></p>
