8-year-old girl chatted with an astronaut in space via amateur radio!
I’ve had a lot of fun using the #ARISS amateur radio station #NA1SS on the @Space_Station to talk with raw radio operators all over the world. I’ve even (unofficially) worked stations on all continents! But this may be my favorite contact so far. Thanks Isabella and @m0lmk! https://t.co/Z2pWUbEZZr

8-year-old Isabella stated that she was very inspired by this talk and that anyone can do whatever they want if they want. The little girl’s father, Matthew, who has an amateur radio license for over 15 years, is an amateur radio and radio operator. On the subject, the little girl’s father said: “You have to get the right time as the space station passes overhead. I was a little jealous because I wasn’t the one talking to the astronaut. But it was impossible to see Isabella do it.”
