Disclaimer, Hardware and Projects:

As with all payloads and projects going into ISS, the priority of a project and payload determines its status.  If another project comes along with a higher priority, it is possible that the Amateur radio hardware can be removed from the flight manifest at any time before launch.  We will not know for sure until a few weeks after launch if the Amateur Radio hardware was actually shipped to ISS on Progress-30.

Hello all

Have you any information that the HAM hardware was removed or have we to wait a few weeks as Miles wrote ?
