Very Nice Video Henk. It was fun and interesting to have participated in supplying data. I will forward this along to a few who wonder what all this aluminum if for in my field. 73, Joe KI4TZ

Dear all,
Very often I find it difficult to explain to 'outsiders' what HAM radio is all about.
Therefore I have released a short video on YouTube about the recent ANDE-2 experiments and how radio amateurs world-wide contributed to this mission.
When I was young I watched the first Space Shuttle flight on TV. A far away, fantastic scientific event. Many years later we as radio amateurs are given opportunities to engage directly in space-experiments. It's a thrill !
Featured in the video are the launch and deploy from STS-127, as well as reception and decoding of the satellite's radio signals received from space.
