Hi Gordon, I did not hear even a whisper today -Monday morning - at my QTH  in south Wales UK. Thanks for your posting it confirms that I was not alone.

Bruce,

ARISSat-1 and the ISS are at rather low altitudes, deep in the shielding magnetosphere. The inclination is only about 52 degrees, so they don't transit the polar cusps. That is _not_ to say there will be no effects, but it is in a _relatively_ safe orbit.

73s,

Alan WA4SCA

Any expected impact from the solar CME and associated activities, etc over the past few days? Pretty "exposed" out there. How "hardened is ARISSat-1?
