Mission Specialist Soichi Noguchi installs PCSAT2 on the ISS

PCSAT2 successfully installed

At 11:17 GMT on Wednesday 3rd August PCSAT2 was installed on the International Space Station.

For the installation images see http://www.pcsat2.info/

Due to the safety system on PCSAT2, which prevents any transmissions occuring while there's a possibility of the Astronauts being outside ISS, we will have to wait for an 8.6 hour timer to expire before it starts transmitting.

So, on passes after 20:00 GMT listen on 437.975 MHz FM plus or minus about 10 kHz for doppler shift.
