Indeed, the Russian Federal Space website says that Kedr (ARISSat-1) will be
"Activated" on April 12 and you can see this can be acheived by connecting
ARISSat-1 to the ISS antenna as they did on Feb 10.
I'd like to express my thanks to all the ARISSat team volunteers who've been
working so hard recently to get the telemetry decoding software,
Website/twitter and other activites all ready for Feb 16. The deployment of
ARISSat-1 was originally planned for the end of Feb and was then brought
forward by 2 weeks so the volunteers must have been working flat out to get
everything ready.
It now looks like we have to wait until July for deployment but that's Space
for you, it's a high risk arena - nothings certain. I look forward to July.
