Default SuitSat to launch Feb 3, approx 2220 ZULU

http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/space/0...eut/index.html

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.
