Description of the project - first edition
Mr Stanisław - School in Space
Projekt popularno-naukowy „Pan Stanisław – szkoła w kosmosie” realizowany był w Gimnazjum nr 1 przez koordynatorkę 3LAB, podczas jej pracy w Lęborku przez trzy lata począwszy od września 2013 roku . Dlaczego Pan Stanisław? Bo nazwa LEM została już zarezerwowana dla pierwszego polskiego satelity wyniesionego na orbitę. W programie brali udział uczniowie, którzy we wrześniu 2013 roku znaleźli się w klasie pierwszej gimnazjum oraz naukowcy z Centrum Badań Kosmicznych. Projekt wspierany był technologicznie przez firmę Microsoft. Głównym założeniem projektu było skonstruowanie we współpracy z naukowcami z Centrum Badań Kosmicznych satelity i wyniesienie go w przestrzeń kosmiczną w celu analizy problemu usuwania śmieci z orbity. W ciągu trwania projektu realizowano szereg działań mających na celu przygotowanie uczniów do spotkań z naukowcami i współuczestniczenia w budowie satelity. Do najważniejszych przeprowadzonych działań należą;
- observing planets and stars using telescopes
- taking part in a NASA teleconference concerning the Cassini mission
- a visit to the Seismic Institute of Geophysics and the Polish Academy of Sciences
- a tour of the portable planetarium in Książ
- participation in a NASA competition

The main aim of the project: finding a solution to the issue of the disposal of waste in space and promoting Polish education worldwide. Expanding the knowledge and competences of junior high school students so as so be able to build a satellite and its launch to orbit. The satellite will play the pioneering role in the attempts of the deorbitation system. An attempt to slow the satellite down using an uncomplicated tool - the tail. "Mr Stanisław" is a path-breaking project in the branch of "waste disposal," which is testing the method of disposing waste from the orbit.
Specific objectives:
- expanding students' knowledge and key abilities in the areas of wave optics, astronomy and popular-scientific knowledge about space
- implementing applications essential to the computer handling of the project with the help of Microsoft
- developing students' passion for conducting experiments: while building the satellite prototype, balloon tests to lift the satellite and tests with polarized prisms and polariser film
- giving students the opportunity, using Microsoft tools, to have direct contact with the science crew of the Space Research Center in the form of individual meetings and teleconferences
- participation in didactic-practical-research trips with the aim of constructing the satellite and the perusal of the specifics of lasers
- expanding student's knowledge about tardigrades (model microorganisms used in astrobiological research) and conducting the balloon experiment using them
- the analysis of the issue of waste in space
Description of the project - second edition
Od wrzesnia 2016 do grudnia 2019 roku czternastka uczniów Gimnazjum nr 1 w Lęborku (obecnie Szkoła Podstawowa w Lęborku) brała udział w II edycji szkolnego projektu popularyzującego wiedzę o Kosmosie “Pan Stanisław czyli szkoła w Kosmosie” autorstwa i koordynacji Anny Rzepy i Barbary Cieślak przy współpracy nauczycieli Gimnazjum nr 1, oraz naukowców, instytucji, fundacji, podmiotów prywatnych oraz przyjaciół młodzieży.
It is worth to notice that the project is a continuation of the first edition from 2013, which was carried out with students born in the year 2000. The project received multiple awards and was presented on national and international conferences.
Elementy projektu związane z popularyzacją wiedzy o kosmosie, namierzaniem satelity PW SAT 2 oraz misją w habitacie kosmicznym i oraz promocją tej misji w ESA realizowane były we współpracy z uczniami III LO w Gdyni. Dodatkowo uczniowie obydwu szkół mieli możliwość spotkania się na warsztatach z zespołem PW SAT 2 w Warszawie.
II edycja projektu ze względu na specyfikę, związaną z faktem, że został stworzony na potrzeby kręcenia filmu dokumentalnego “Nieletni inżynierowie” firmy Mediolia, została podzielony na dwie sekcje;
a) the popular - scientific, which includes:
- A simulation of the moon mission "Youth for the Moon” in the habitat Lunares. It was Europe's first Educational Space Mission, conducted by Dr Agata Kołodziejczyk (working in the European Space Agency during the experiment)
- Cooperation with Mrs Inna Uwarowa's team PW SAT 2, within the scope of which students could build an easy model of a sail, with the help of directions provided by scientists from the Warsaw University of Technology
- A stratospheric attempt in the Space Research Center in Borowiec and the testing of the sail model (responsible for it were: the Manager of the Space Research Center Mr Paweł Lejba, Maciej Jakimiec - the Copernicus Project Foundation, Grzegorz Daszykowski - PW SAT2)
- Budowa zaawansowanej infrastruktury oraz namierzanie radiowe satelity PW- SAT 2, po wysłaniu go na orbitę.
b) the featured, carried out for the needs of the documentary, which includes:
- HUET - a training course and an escape from a trainer of a drowning chopper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHN1uQjHDjU
- Training on a life rift simulator https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHN1uQjHDjU
- Simulations on the captain's bridge
- Flying in a wind tunnel in the Freeflycentre in Leszno https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9KPpc9nD00
(The first three training sessions from the featured section were organized by Captain Mirosław Orzeszek from the Gdynia Maritime School)
All activities connected with the popular-science and the featured section were possible only due to one reason: young people had incredible luck when they came across all those people who shared their work with them and, most importantly, offered the students their free time.
Kind thanks to all above mentioned friends of the youth.
We thank Adrian Stawicki for the help in preparing graphics, branding materials and films.
Kind thanks also to Lucyna Racis, Iza Woszczyło, Iwa Arendt, Kasia Kurzydło and Wiesław Rutkiewicz for their help, support and high professional integrity.
