SuitSat in 9 Days!
If all goes well, SuitSat will be deployed in 9 days. Are you
ready?
Have you talked to a school in your area about SuitSat? Or a student
group? Is your SSTV receive capability ready for the challenge?
SuitSat will be deployed during a Russian EVA scheduled to take
place on Friday, February 3 at approximately 22:20 UTC.
Once activated, those who hear SuitSat transmissions are asked
to enter their realtime data on the SuitSat website,
www.suitsat.org
so that participants around the world can track the satellite.
Educational Outreach reports (at schools or informal education
sites) as well as Slow Scan TV images can be sent to
suitsat@comcast.net. This
information will be compiled by the ARISS team.
