I am not familiar with the construction of the satellite, but, in the pictures I saved, I can see the black, cylindrical object attached to the 'bottom' side of the satellite, smaller than the one on top....but unlike the one on top, there seems to be no whip extending from it. I assume this is the attachment point of the 70cm antenna and that there should be a whip extending from it. Maybe it is there, but I couldn't see it.

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.
