KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's first angkasawan Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor managed to speak by radio link to some 20 students in the National Planetarium here early this morning after the attempt to set up a video link between the International Space Station (ISS) and Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in Putrajaya failed last night.
National Space Agency director-general Datuk Mazlan Othman and the students from SM Vivekananda Brickfields chatted with Dr Sheikh Muszaphar via a radio link from the planetarium’s satellite ground station.
