Sporting t-shirts designed for the event, these students at Nuvviti school in Ivujivik prepared to make contact with the International Space Station Dec. 5. The school welcomed a group called the Amateur Radio on the International Space Station, an education program that partners with NASA and the Canadian Space Agency. Students were able to put questions to astronaut David C. Burbank aboard the space station as it passed above Nunavik. (PHOTO BY GILLES BOUTIN)
