Correction: I don't recall the celebration of Gagarin's flight ever being a SIGNIFICANT part of ARISSat-1's mission...

Just as I said during the whole "Yuri's Day" debacle: Roscosmos has HIJACKED

ARISSat-1 for their own purposes. I don't recall the celebration of Gagarin's

flight EVER being part of the ARISSat-1 mission.

I sincerely hope that AMSAT and ARISS will NEVER again agree to cede "responsibility" for a satellite to Roscosmos...
