After its eventful deployment yesterday, ARISSsat-1 is definitely working. Hams from all over the world have reported hearing the voice, CW and SSTV transmissions. Despite concerns that the UHF antenna was either missing or damaged, the linear transponder is working and some people are already making contacts with it. The August 3 deployment was delayed nearly four hours after cosmonauts Sergei Volkov, RU3DIS, and Alexander Samokutyaev, expressed concerns that only one antenna -- the VHF antenna -- was visible.

Following the completion of a six-hour, 23-minute spacewalk Wednesday, the Expedition 28 crew members were busy with a variety of post-spacewalk activities and conducted a checkout of Japanese robotics aboard the International Space Station Thursday.

Flight Engineers Sergei Volkov and Alexander Samokutyaev conducted routine maintenance on their Russian Orlan spacesuits and were debriefed during a conference with spacewalk specialists on Earth. They also recharged spacesuit batteries and stowed gear used during the excursion.
