Sergey Samburov sent to Kenneth Ransom a CD containing Kenwood operations, SSTV instructions, and other software programs. The U.S. team will review the contents and provide updates for the software, as needed. Once finalized, the CD will be sent to the ISS on a future Progress flight.
Mark Steiner contacted QRZ and received an update to the callsign database. The new database will be shipped to Houston along with the SuitSat Educational Project CDs, and will be included in the Progress 19P manifest.
