All you need is an antenna — the bigger the better — and a radio receiver that you can tune to 145.990 MHz FM. A police band scanner or a hand-talkie ham radio would work just fine. |

But we don't want to do that till we get done with this thing, because we want people to continue piecing together the telemetry and the information as they have been. The level of interest continues to be very high. |
Chicago makes the most sense. That's the best place for the kid to play. Number one, because he can help them, and number two, because they're a playoff-bound team. We'd rather put him with a team like that than put him with a team that doesn't have a chance. |
If the transmitter is running at full power, we would expect the suit to have ended operations after a few days to a week. If it is transmitting at lower power, then it will operate much longer. |
It is absolutely clear that SuitSat-1 is alive. |
It is quite exciting to see the inspirational spark that is produced in students when they talk to explorers living and working in space. The ARISS team of volunteers looks forward to working with Dr. Olsen and preparing the schools for this once in a lifetime event. |
Many feel we have too many lawyers already. ... In my view, new programs, new campuses and new schools should be primarily driven by demands of the marketplace and not by the demands of a potential student body. |
Pioneering efforts are challenging. Risk is high. But the future payoff is tremendous. As you have seen, we have not had total success. But we have captured the imagination of the students and the general public. And we have already learned a lot from this activity. This will help us and others grow from this experience. |
The greetings are in English, French, Japanese, Russian, German, and Spanish. All you need is an antenna (the bigger the better) and a radio receiver that you can tune to 145.990 MHz FM. A police scanner or a hand-held ham radio will work just fine. |
The intent is to get access to a computer — which has been an issue. |
There's a ham rig on the ISS, and the astronauts love talking to students when they pass over schools. |
This will allow us to understand how well we can utilize these suits to perform scientific and engineering measurements and, at the same time, capture the imagination of students around the world. |
We're not telling. It's a mystery picture. |
