SPACE STATION PROVIDES BOOST TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN CALIFORNIA

HOUSTON -- Students from Buchanan High School in Clovis, Calif , who are taking part in a 48 hour space station simulation, will get an extra boost when they receive a call from the real International Space Station Students at the school will participate in a live in-flight education downlink with the International Space Station on Monday, Aug 25, from 11:35 a m to 11:55 a m CDT The live question-and-answer session will feature Expedition 17 astronaut Greg Chamitoff

The students are participating in the Columbia Project, a simulated space station experience that exposes them to the challenging endeavor of human space exploration The program, currently in its third year, is coordinated by a district educator who is a member of NASA's Network of Educator Astronaut Teachers Project which helps incorporate NASA education resources into school curriculum To prepare for the downlink, Columbia Project participants engaged in creating mock-ups of the space station and mission control, rocket fabrication, astronaut selection and training, and mission control and station operations

NASA's education downlinks support the agency's efforts to encourage students to study and pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM These events, facilitated by NASA's Teaching From Space Office use the unique experience of human space flight to promote and enhance STEM education

The downlink will air live on NASA Television and be streamed on the Web at:
