Hi Folks,
It looks like SuitSat will go up on 3 Feb!
It should be pretty close to the ISS so you can use its Keplerian elements
if you have a tracking program, but AMSAT and NASA both have tracking on
line if you don't have a tracking program. Listen on 145.990 MHz FM but its
only 1/2 watt so you may need an outdoor antenna or a long rubber duck (or
maybe a small Yagi). It will do a voice greeting in various languages
followed by telemetery (also voice) and finish with a preprogramed SSTV
picture in Robot 36 and then repeat the sequence.

Happy listening!
