We have receieved official word that we will be launching our CubeSats on March 26, 2007 at approximately 10:30pm PST.

The CubeSat's on this launch are:P-POD 1: AeroCube-2 (The Aerospace Corporation)CP4 (California Polytechnic State University)CSTB 1 (The Boeing Company)P-POD 2:MAST (Tethers Unlimited)P-POD 3:CP3 (California Polytechnic Stat University)CAPE1 (University of Louisiana)Libertad-1 (University of Bogota)We will be posting updates on our website as they occur. We are encouraging the CubeSat developers on this launch to help us post information and updates on our webpage and to be available on our discussion boards. Not all of the satellites will be beaconing, but we will have the frequencies of the ones that are posted. If you have a groundstation, we'd like your help in identifying the satellites once they are deployed. We will post the TLE's online for tracking.Some of this data may still change, so please continue to check our website for updates. We appreciate everyone's support, and hope that you are all as excited as we are about this launch!Lori BrooksCubeSat Program Manager _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________
