LONDON: Amateur radio enthusiast Adrian Lane spent 50 seconds chatting to American astronaut as he flew over UK
An amateur radio enthusiast has described how he made contact with the International Space Station from his garden shed.
Adrian Lane, 52, a former lorry driver, spent weeks trying to make contact after being told that astronauts were due to pass over his home.
The father-of-two plotted the space station’s route and worked out the brief window during which it would be 200 miles overhead, travelling at 18,500mph.
