Farhan posted this message and the above video to Facebook today (I have the video cued up to around the 5 minute point): We are all set for the launch of ExseedSat... There are two tiny switches at the bottom of the satellite that keep the satellite switched off while it stays in it's container. Once the satellite is ejected, the switches are released and the satellite wakes up. There are 36 satellites on this launch, some belong to close friends in the satellite fraternity. We wait for all the satellites to drift out and after 45 minutes, the antennas are depolyed and we will start beeping signals home. Here is a test of that process. You can skip to the fifth minute to watch the antenna depoly . I really like the tape measure antenna. This recalls the earliest OSCAR satellites. And let's not forget that OSCAR 1 also launched from Vandenberg. So there a lot of good tradition flying with Farhan's bird. Press reports indicate a launch time of 1:31 pm Eastern time today. I think you can watch it live through the video window below. Or try this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wq8kS6UoOrQ
