Heartiest congrats from over here as well...I hope someone has been keeping a log of the "lessons learnt" for the benefit of the next generation of satellite builders. I know, from experience, how important such a log can be:)

I agree with Mark: This is great news!
Thank you to all of the members of the team. The hardware and software components developed for ARISSat-1 should be good building blocks for future LEO/MEO/HEO opportunities. Lessons learned from this deployment will directly apply to longer duration flights.
I look forward to hearing the presentations at the AMSAT Symposium and reading more details in the AMSAT Journal.

This was an important week for ARISSat program.
The ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf V satellite passed the vibration tests this week. Documents needed for the Phase 2 Safety Reveiw were sent to the committee for the NASA Safety Review scheduled for Oct 12 & 13, 2010. We are planning on crating the two satellites (flight and backup) next week and shipping them to NASA Houston for shipment to Russia.
Thank you to all the team members that have worked so diligently over the life of the project and especially the last few weeks to get the satellites flight ready and prepared to ship.
Gould, WA4SXM AMSAT ARISSat Project Manager
