>From Space Weather News for Jan. 31, 2006:

"SUITSAT:  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. Would you like

about to orbit over your area"
