Yes very good, I congratulate them. It shows what slowing down and not being
so gung ho can do for a project. Re microsats. A lot of these are built just
down the road from me in Guildford UK.
It seems strange to think that mobile phone innards are now being used as
building blocks for sattalites.

Launcg occured at 17:00, and everything seemed to functioned normally.
No spectacular explosions or fireworks.

The main payload was a dummy cylinder of the same weight as the Cygnus
with cargo in it, and it also had a collection of micro satellites,
including 3 "cellphone" satellites build from Google Nexus 1
smartphones, named apropriatly Alexander, Graham and Bell.


Next mission is late june early july. It will carry a real Cygnus with
goal of having Cygnus get to the station to deliver cargo.
