[amsat-bb] Re: CubeSat GeneSat-1 launch 11Dec06 with OSCAR telemetrydownlink

[Robert Bruninga]

Ralph,
Is this the first launch to orbit from Wallops?
If so, isnt that a major event? 

I havent heard anything about it.  Last attempt to reach orbit
from Wallops (about 100 miles from here) I was able to stand on
my roof and watch it go up... Then down... In flames.  

Anyway, we will be watching!
Bob, WB4APR
