Expedition 7 Commander Yuri Malenchenko and NASA International Space Station Science Officer Ed Lu today wrapped up a busy week of station and science activities as they approached the end of their eighth week on the ISS.

Aboard the orbiting laboratory Wednesday, NASA ISS Science Officer Ed Lu conducted another session of the Investigating the Structure of Paramagnetic Aggregates from Colloidal Emulsions, or InSPACE, experiment in the International Space Station's Microgravity Science Glovebox.

On July 3 at 11:30 am CDT JSC will conduct the third test of Distant Learning outreach using Amateur Radio and the Internet to have children interview JSC professionals.

Sorry for the late word, but I just had this forwarded to me.

CanX-1 is an amateur satellite built by students at the University of Toronto, in Toronto, Canada. The satellite was launched this morning and we are expecting to receive a signal from it as it makes its first pass over our ground station. I would like to ask anyone interested to listen for its beacon and report back whether they can hear it.
