I wonder does the SpaceX rocket hang around as debris for the next 25 years
in a 600 km orbit or does it head back to the Earth and burn up ?
I don't know, does anyone ?

The satellite uses the file while in the payload bay as a backup to the
primary release system. Apparently, there isn't any "early release" granted
to them so it might be the only way out. I guess that gives a whole new
meaning to "self-deployment" or in this case, "self-extraction". :)

don't forget that instead of a microsoft key for the operating system,

Hi all!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/n3ykf/
oa4o is the Peruvian national club station.
There is a fine az el antenna array for vhf, uhf and shf.
They don't know what manufacturer or model the antennas are. Do you?
Top 4 photos.
Next time I go down the possibility of rehabbing the array exists. The
club president expressed a serious interest in the satellite gear
being used.

Trevor...there are it strikes me a few things that can be done here
1. try and attach "some payload" to a mass that is going to be left in
orbit anyway. The second stage comes to mind, the satellite dispersal thing
comes to mind (Is this a Spaceflight services thing?)...there are a few
things that we could probably make that work with...in addition if there is
propulsion remaining from the second stage...
2. We might be able to get something on board the rocket as a payload. The
Europeans are working on something the Indians are working on somethings...
3 we might be able to talk with them about using the second stage as an
experiment in depletion burns
There are a lot of out of the box suggestions that come to mind...

I remember watching the liftoff on TV and it felt strange knowing that
it was the last time that astronauts were scheduled to go to the moon.
Back then, I thought that today there would be a habitation there and
perhaps even people on Mars.

I agree with Mike, N1JEZ. The KLM's were the only one with the big box
polarity
switcher on the end of the 440 boom. The 144 unit was not covered but an open
circuit board with lots of exposed phasing wires.
In fact looks exactly like mine except mine have the F9FT in the middle of the
boom. If you need copies of the KLM manuals let me know .....

I have a set of older Cushcraft antennas that meet that criteria: 738XB and
22XB. Both have polarity switching but the 435 ant has the box on the rear.
I have manuals for both.

Hi John,
The 70 cm antenna could be Cushcraft, but I think the 2M is KLM because of
the configuration of driven elements. Folded dipole vs T match.

That's exactly what the 2m and 70cm antennas are. Here is the same Antenna
setup in my backyard :-)

I have copies of the manuals if needed, I can copy them and mail mail. Just
let me know...
