The spacewalk is current at least 10 minute behind schedule. As nearly as I can hear, they have not opened the hatch yet (at about 1444Z). Currently doing leak checks etc. There is also currently no video, except from Mission Control Moscow. They cosmonauts are wearing helmet cams, but the NASA commentator indicated that the coverage would be spotty.
73 from Burns, W2BFJ
Deployment scrubbed... question of whether 70cm antenna is missing.
(and boy, was I worried for the solar panels & the 2m antenna: they smacked that thing against the strut SEVERAL times!)

Hello All
On NASA-TV I saw the deployment of ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf-V at 15:07 UTC. The hatch was opened at 14:50 UTC.
