Date: Saturday, October 17, 2026

Time: 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

We’re talking to an astronaut! After we speak to space earlier in the week (date TBD), come celebrate our International Space Station chat with special programs, an opportunity to learn about ham radio, and a full replay of the cosmic conversation.

All day, we’ll explore and experiment with the radio technology that is enabling students to speak with an astronaut in outer space from the EcoTarium.

Our International Space Station contact will take place during the week of October 12, with the final date determined by NASA in early October. The EcoTarium Website will be updated once we know the contact date. The program schedule is subject to change if the contact takes place on Saturday, October 17.
