WE CELEBRATED YURI - 04/12/11 - MIRA LOMA CA US
We had a few friends over at the house in Mira Loma, CA from 6-10PM ... as well as connecting to others via Skype and EchoLink and uStream ...
04/13/2011 UPDATE -Although the Russian Space Federation had the ISS crew scheduled to turn ON the amateur radio satellite that is on board - the ARISSat-1 - that activation did not work.
We are now focused on determining the technical problems, and preparing for a successful deployment later this year!
