[Harc] Ham Sci-Fi

[David Boyd]

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:
