"Are you a science centre, a science museum, a planetarium or a science festival, engaging the public on science and space? Then ESA is offering you a rare opportunity to call Europe’s next astronaut, André Kuipers, on the International Space Station.

From the end of November, ESA astronaut André Kuipers will live and work aboard the Space Station for almost six months. His diary is already filled with science experiments and running the Station as a flight engineer, but he will also have time for educational and public events.

ESA is now offering the opportunity for two European public science education organisations to host exclusive 20-minute video calls to André in space.

The calls involve two different educational projects: ‘Mission-X 2012’ will be held in February, while ‘Take Your Classroom into Space’ is planned for the end of April 2012. Both events are aimed at European children aged 8–14."
