Bulgarian pupils will be able to ask questions to astronauts from NASA and the European Space Agency via an In-Flight Educational Downlink with the International Space Station.

The hosts of the event “Hello, Space! Bulgaria calling!”, which will take place in a month - on July 26, are the American Embassy in Bulgaria, the Atlantic Club in Bulgaria and other non-governmental organizations.

The aim of the project is to ignite the imagination of young people, inspiring them to direct their dreams beyond the Earth's orbit to the Moon, Venus, Mars and other unknown worlds, and why not - to send a third Bulgarian into space.

The historical video connected will be preceded by a competition to collect questions from students aged 6 to19.
