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 [email protected] direct so I get soonest copy.
