That be fighting talk........OK, shall we start the re-entry date competition now???

For 66 pounds in a relatively small box, I think that Arissat-1 will go on beyond 6 months by quite a bit.

My rapidly depreciating UK pound is on Launch + 324 days.

wow, 5 years of time and money invensted into Arissat-1 for a 6 month run. Mean while, all other ISS projects put on hold. And it missed its lauch date of "fall 2007".

NASA calculates 3 - 6 months lifetime. It has to do with the original altitude of the ISS, the force and the angle.
