This twitter post says that several small satellites will be hand-deployed
during the Russian EVA tomorrow:

Anyone know the details? I assume they would want to release them "towards
earth" and not in the other direction so that they would have a lower orbit
than the station and not run into them at some point. Do they just toss
them out?
