ASK AN ASTRONAUT!

Are you ready for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

As part of the 2025 Australian Girl Guide Jamboree, you could be one of the lucky Girl Guides to ask a question directly to astronauts aboard the International Space Station during the Jamboree Closing Ceremony!

Thanks to a special radio link being set up by ARISS (Amateur Radio on the International Space Station), we’ll be talking to real astronauts — live from orbit — and we want your questions.

  • Submit an original question that you would love to ask an astronaut aboard the ISS.

  • Be creative, curious, and thoughtful — we’re looking for questions that are inspiring, scientific, or just plain fascinating!

  • Submit your question by Saturday 16 August 2025.


If You’re Chosen:

  • You’ll be invited to ask your question live via radio during the Jamboree Closing Ceremony.

  • Your question and voice will be transmitted into space and back — and heard around the world!

  • You’ll need to complete:

    • A NASA Talent Release Form

    • The standard Girl Guides Australia Media Release Form

  • Up to 12 questions will be asked depending on timing so keep sending them in.
