Adrian lane from a small English town, managed to get through to the International space station without the Internet and satellite communications. Using a self-assembled transmitter Briton talked to an astronaut on Board the ISS, which was flying at a height of 322 km above the housing of the radio.

the Conversation lasted 50 seconds before the ISS left the "contact window". Adrian asked astronaut: "Probably, the Earth looks great from that height?" received response: "Oh, Adrian, you can't imagine. She's so colorful".

"Not every day you can talk to the person flying in space. It's such an adrenaline rush", — shared his impressions of hams. Last year, a similar session was arranged enthusiast from the Nizhny Novgorod region of Russia.
