I would like to be able to give a firm date for the ARISSat deployment, but there are a few issues that make that a moving target. The deployment is scheduled to occur during Russian EVA 29, today that is 27 July 2011.
From a teleconference last week there was a notice that the EVA may be
pushed back a week or two if the Shuttle arrives in early July- nothing firm yet. We have another teleconference 6 July. I will release any probable dates or updates when I know them. Thank you for your patience.

Good question... after the "test" prior to "Yuri's Day" the battery was apparently depleted. Whether it has been recharged or replaced, who knows? I'd still like to know whether NASA ever signed off on powering up the satellite inside the space station... seems like much of the time Roscosmos forgets that they have PARTNERS in this venture.

Don't jump to any conclusions. Wait for the AMSAT engineering people to give you the current and CORRECT information. If any info comes from anyone else, it is not a direct contact with the Space Station people. Be patient and remember, the engineering team has many questions waiting to be answered also. 73, Dee, NB2F

Jump to conclusions????? Plenty of time has passed since the "test" and this information should have already been available. Obviously George's statement about "Roscosmos forgets that they have PARTNERS in this venture" is correct. I don't believe we are "jumping to conclusions" just because we expect somewhat timely answers.

See- you jumped to a conclusion- The Russians DO NOT have to answer to you or anyone outside of "their" circle- Once again, the ONLY voices you should listen to are AMSAT staff since they are the ones with the CORRECT answers. Timely answers are not in the country in question's vocabulary- You watch too much CNN type news.... Besides, majority of the people that will use a given satellite have never paid into it. (My unscientific research) End to this thread from me.

You, of course, are entitled to your opinion but, please, I hope you didn't intend to include me in your "unscientific research". I have "paid into it" and continue to do so.

Hello Everyone,
I'm quite hesitant to reply to this thread. In fact my mouse is spending more time hovering over the 'delete' key vs. the 'send' key.
I hope my comment is taken constructively in light of my interpretation that amateur radio is a guest aboard a Russian Satellite with a Russian callsign stored on the Russian segment of the ISS and will be deployed by Russian cosmonauts during a Russian managed EVA.
I, for one, would greatly enjoy ARISSat-1/RadioSkaf-V messages on the amsat-bb joyfully speculating about our station set-up, antenna plans, recording passes, downloading and installing software ... you know ... the fun stuff!
My fun stuff? I'm shopping for 3/16" brass rod to improve upon my homebrew antenna situation ala the Cheap Yagi approach :-)

Please consider this thread closed. After receiving threats by private e-mail it is no longer worth pursuing this from my point of view.
