Dear Kāhu 11 WOW! It sounds like you have a great project underway. We would love you to share it with us when you are done! We have a team heading up to the ISS in July - we could share some of your stories on that trip. Please send me your questions and I will see if an astronaut will answer them. Let’s limit it to 5 of your best, thoughtful, science based questions! As for images, the first thing you can do is go to the www.nasa.gov website and do a search for images of the ISS. There are a ton of them. You and also watch the European Space Agency tour of the ISS: https://m.esa.int/Our_Activities/Human_and_Robotic_Exploration/International_Space_Station/Highlights/International_Space_Station_panoramic_tour If you wan to try the Google Street View from the ISS go here and see if you can find your community! https://www.google.com/streetview/#international-space-station/ This one is for your teacher. You may want to consider applying to the ARISS program for an amateur radio contact with the crew on board the ISS. It is an amazing experience that the whole school can build on. Their link is:https://www.ariss.org/submit-a-contact-proposal.html We are so excited and this is inspiring our writing even more! We are writing great stories and publishing them in the way we think is best for our story. Then we will send a digital copy to Storytime in Space and see what happens!
