At least AO-40 had a usable life for some. This thing is just another squawk box in space, like all the "student" satellites that are using the Amateur Radio frequencies for a free downlink.

Hi Jim, KQ6EA
Well said Jim ! Considering all problems occurred AO40 was the best satellite ever made by AMSAT and I agree with you ARISSat-1 is another shoe box in space that is using the Amateur Radio Satellite frequencies for a free downlink but not made for a possible easy two way Amateur Satellite Communications.
