Commemorative SuitSat QSL Certificate will be available

Students, scouts, teachers, ham radio operators, and the general public are encouraged to track the space suit, hear the conversations from space, copy the suit telemetry and capture the picture.

There will also be a special endorsement on the award certificate for those students who receive the "special words" that are embedded in the messages from our SuitSat student "crew members." These special words are in different languages - English, French, German, Spanish, Russian,
and Japanese. You are encouraged to record the SuitSat downlink audio and get help from fellow students who know these languages.

Also included in this spacesuit is a computer Compact Disk (CD) with images of over 300 items collected from schools and educational organizations around the world.

These include creative works of art from students as well as student signatures, school or scout logos, and class or group pictures. Students, schools and educational organizations
that participated in the development of this disk earlier this year will all be part of the SuitSat spacewalk - as their creative works, signatures and pictures all float in space!
