I am sure it should be if there is an external capability available on the ARRISSat to recharge the batteries and looking at the the live video from ISS (NASA TV) looks like the crew is trying on the same, retiring for the night now and will listen tomorrow at 18.37 UTC 81 degree pass . Appreciate all the efforts from the crew on the ISS to get this going and the ARRISSat-1 Project team who I am sure are working closely to make this happen.

Since it's already connected to the station antenna, it sure would be nice if they could just plug it directly into the ISS power supply, switch it

on

full duty cycle, and just *leave* it for a couple of, oh, years. _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.
