CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (Reuters) -- Thanks to an innovative Russian recycling program, amateur radio fans expect to be hearing from a new recruit in orbit when an old spacesuit gets a new life as a radio satellite this week. Beginning Friday, SuitSat should be on the air, broadcasting on FM 145.990 MHz. SuitSat's signal can be picked up on a ham radio or a police scanner. Rather than being launched, this satellite will get tossed into orbit by the international space station crew during a spacewalk slated to begin Friday evening. ----------------- Also -- http://www.amsat.org/amsat-new/index.php |
