The project asks amateurs to monitor transmissions from cell phones that have
been placed in orbit.

"PhoneSat satellites are emitting packets on the amateur radio spectrum to
report different types of message. The details of these packets can be found on
the packets page. If you are an amateur radio operator and you can receive these
packets, you have the great opportunity to contribute to the project by
submitting them. The dashboard page will give you all the information you need
to track the satellites in real time."
Will radiation fry the cell phones before thy burn up on re-entry?
They are expected to re-enter within weeks so there is a good
chance they will not see a radiation event before they burn up.
