For anyone interested, San Jose University with NASA Ames is having
TechEdSat deployed from the ISS Thursday at 910AM PDT. The satellite will
start transmitting 40 minutes after deployment. They are asking for
telemetry reports to be sent to:

The TechEdSAT (CubeSat) has a website.

TechEdSat transmits a heartbeat packet over amateur radio every 4 seconds.
These packets are 122 ASCII character AX.25 packets. Amateur band radio
frequency is 437.465 MHz.

*It will have the same orbital elements as the ISS – at least for the
initial period.

Thanks,
