[amsat-bb] ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf V ready to ship

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.
