The quoted report is correct. ARISSat-1 was deployed at 1843 UTC. 1507 was the scheduled time, but that did not happen. The cosmonauts were about to deploy the satellite, but were stopped and did not deploy until the antenna problem could be evaluated.

One point i forgot in my previous post
Just to confirm the satellite has been deployed in the very first 10 minutes after the cosmonauts where getting out the air lock not at 1443 EDT "NO WAY" something is wrong here!!!
Yes, I can confirm this. The hatch was officially opened at 14:50 UTC and ARISSat-1 was deployed at 15:07 UTC. I watched NASA-TV yesterday after 14:00 UTC or 16.00 MESZ. Someone mixed his local time with UTC or GMT I think.
