Apparently, an antenna went missing so it's not known if ARISSat will be transmitting properly. Deployment might occur later during this EVA pending a decision from mission control. 73s Bernhard VA6BMJ @ DO33FL

HI, it seems that the missing antenna is the one for the 70cm band. I heard that the deployment speed would be of about 1 m/s (deltaV)... the speaker also spoke about a 30° "space window" which should be used to deploy, anybody has more details? Thanks and 73s Fabio IW8QKU/5

Watching the deployment live right now. Is it just me, or do the cosmonauts look as though they're beating the CRAP out of ARISSat while trying to jettison it? John KB2HSH -- _______________________________ John Marranca, Jr -PBX Technician- BN Systems, Incorporated Orchard Park, NY (716)406-7130
