[CW] SuitSAT

[Howard Kraus]

NASA Select showed live (45 min. delayed) video of Suitsat being constructed
by MacAurthur and Tokarev Wednesday the 25th.  Replays on Thursday, and
possibly on other days if they don't have much fill-in.  Very interesting!
(and fun to watch whilst putting the treadmill through its/my paces).

I can't wait 'til they shove this affair out the door.  I don't have SSTV
decoding facilities, but it will fun nonetheless to hear the signal overhead
from a defunct spacesuit.  Recycling at its best, to be sure!

There is excellent coverage from NASA as Ed points out below.
