A note to readers of ANS. Since the SuitSat project encompasses both a free floating unmanned satellite and is being hand launched from a Manned satellite, there will be some double postings regarding the SuitSat project on both the SAREX and AMSAT-BB mailing lists. If you are not currently on the SAREX list, you may want to check the AMSAT link to sign up for both so you do not miss the additional projects coming this year, and early 2006.

SuitSat, Slow Scan TV from ISS in 5 weeks?
Slow Scan TV from the SuitSat project, launched from the International Space Station, may be activated in as little as 5 weeks. Note: All dates are subject to change.
At the present time there are tentative plans to have a Space Walk (EVA) taking place from ISS sometime around December 8, 2005. It is possible that during this Space Walk, the ISS crew may Hand launch the ARISS SuitSat
project during that EVA mission. Again, all date are subject to last minute changes. Please Keep monitoring the ARISS and AMSAT web pages for more updates.
The SuitSat project is a free floating Unmanned satellite that will be running on Batteries Only! The life span of the project will be limited to the power in the batteries. SuitSat may last as little as 1 week or as long as 6 weeks. So it is very important for you to get your satellite monitoring station ready now. You should not wait for the Official activation date, because you may miss the opportunity to hear the new bird.
I will keep posting updated links for the SuitSat project as they become available.
