~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Information from twitter.com/NanoSailD :

RT: @NanoSailD: John @naeisel has done it! I have two valid data seta and both have the correct signatures.

and then

RT: @NanoSailD: NanoSail-D has sent data that it deployed the sail. Will wait until morning for ground based tracking to confirm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looks very promising John. What I understood from Dean earlier this evening is that once the sail is deployed, there is a small S-Band Tx that will come on for a few seconds out of every minute... Hopefully that will be detected soon at one of the ground terminals for that final confirmation.

Maybe I should find out what that freq is... I only learned about this S-band Tx tonite... Betcha there are some folks here that could hear that too ..!..

Thanks /;^)
