Australian Hams should listen for RAFT separation at 0156 UTC.
Present predicts show RAFT being deployed on a pass over Sydney, with the satellite appraching the ENE horizon. Australian hams might hear one or two of the 145.825 telemetry packets before LOS. Please report any packet received to bruninga@usna.edu direct so I get soonest copy.
Thanks Bob Bruninga, WB4APR USNA Satellite Lab
