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

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.

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.
