Bruce,

ARISSat-1 and the ISS are at rather low altitudes, deep in the shielding
magnetosphere.  The inclination is only about 52 degrees, so they don't
transit the polar cusps.  That is _not_ to say there will be no effects, but
it is in a _relatively_ safe orbit.

73s,

Alan

 Any expected impact from the solar CME and associated activities, etc over
the past few days? Pretty "exposed" out there. How "hardened is ARISSat-1?
