SuitSat alerts from SpaceWeather.com

On February 3rd, astronauts plan to hurl an old spacesuit overboard from the International Space Station. The disembodied suit, nicknamed "SuitSat," will proceed to circle Earth, transmitting a radio message which anyone can
hear using a police scanner or a ham radio tuned to 145.990 MHz FM. This strange experiment is a test of a sensible idea--that old spacesuits might be transformed into useful satellites.

MUST-SEE VIDEO: On Jan. 15th when the Stardust capsule ripped through Earth's atmosphere en route to a parachute landing in Utah, noone had a better view than scientists onboard NASA's DC-8 Airborne Laboratory, and they recorded a spectacular video.

In addition to the man-made fireball (Stardust) there are atleast two natural meteors in the video. See them all at http://spaceweather.com
