Mike Schaffer KA3JAW Tampa, Florida EL87 What is the official AMSAT/ARISSat1 team finding on the ARISSat-1 70cm quarter-wave receive antenna on the bottom of the satellite? I have not heard updated news about that since the jettison occurred.
Was it the dummy load or was the dummy load taken off and the flight antenna installed to deployment while in the ISS ,but later accidentally broken off when the cosmonauts hand carried it through the Pirus hatch?
