This is for those who enjoy the interface between Ham radio and the
baby-steps Humankind is taking toward exploring our solar system and
beyond. In case you missed it, this is from the current issue of
ARRL's /On the Air /magazine:
In February 2006 the crew of the International Space Station installed a
2-meter FM amateur radio transmitter in the helmet of a retired Russian
spacesuit, and released the whole shebang into orbit. It was known as
SuitSat-1. Reliable transmission only lasted for two orbits, but there
were reports of a weak signal for another few weeks. In September
SuitSat-1 entered the Earth's atmosphere and burned up.
Recently this story was resurrected as the theme of a very short and
chilling SciFi video called *"**DECOMMISSIONED.
<https://vimeo.com/502018179>**" *If you think this might be fun, and
have six minutes to spare, check out:
