There hasn't been ANY update since it was ejected from FASTSAT last weekend. Is NASA even communicating with the spacecraft? (It's Twitter page went silent right after ejection) -------------------- 2011 JPL Tweetup photos: http://www.rich-parno.com/aa_jpltweetup.html http://human-spaceflight.blogspot.com
