ISS virtual tour?
I was on reddit.com a few days ago and there was a cool submission of this website that let you go around in a sort of 3D virtual tour. Sort of like how Google Street View works only it was the inside of the ISS.
Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or what that URL is? I have been looking for it for 3 days and I can't find it!
Students and teachers invited to 'fly a file' on ARISsat-1
On 3 February 2006, cosmonaut Valery Ivanovich Tokarev hand launched the Amateur Radio satellite SuitSat-1 from the International Space Station during an EVA (Extra Vehicular Activity = Spacewalk).
SuitSat-1 was a very special Amateur Radio satellite.
A discarded Russian ORLAN Space Suit (in Russian a "Skafander") was equipped with an Amateur Radio transmitter, which transmitted telemetry and greetings from youngsters to the youth of the world in several languages.
In 2010, an Amateur Radio satellite will once again be hand launched from the International Space Station. It will be called ARISSat-1.
