SuitSat was cast adrift from ISS about an hour ago. Kind of spooky to watch. The cosmonaut launching it was twisting slightly before "launch" as was SuitSat. So with a little imagination it was not hard to picture two cosmo/astronauts fighting and one having their tether cut and cast adrift into space. If only they could have made the arms and legs thrash about... :-) They kept a camera on SuitSat for several minutes as it slowly tumbled and receded into the distance. First chance for Utahns to listen in (145.990 MHz) will be tomorrow (Saturday) morning from 3:25 to 3:37. Patrick
