SUITSAT: There's a new satellite orbiting Earth, and it's a weird one.  On
Friday, Feb. 3rd, at 6:02 pm EST, astronauts threw an old Russian spacesuit
overboard from the International Space Station. The disembodied suit,
nicknamed SuitSat, is now circling Earth and transmitting a radio message
which you can hear using a police scanner or ham radio tuned to 145.990 MHz
(FM).   Please visit http://spaceweather.com for more information about
SuitSat and how to tune into it.
