[I0ELE]

Farrell,
HAMTV equipment will be delivered to the ISS in August (TBC) by the 
Japanese HTV-4 cargo.
You can check on the web the exact date.
Then we will start the commissioning soon and we will start the 
transmissions soon after.
Information on the transmission plan will be delivered on this BB.
