F-1 CubeSat is scheduled for launch in July, 2012
Latest update on F-1 CubeSat project:
At the moment, the flight safety review is coming to an end. The FSpace team together with their partner NanoRacks LLC has satisfied the technical requirements and standards set by the launch vehicle provider.
If everything goes according to plan, the F-1 CubeSat will be delivered to Japan by the end of June. Then along with four other CubeSats (RAIKO, WE-WISH, FITSAT-1 and TechEdSat) F-1 will be loaded onboard HTV-3 “Kounotori” transfer vehicle for integration with the JAXA HII-B launch vehicle.
F-1 plans to launch to the International Space Station (ISS) on July 21 from Tanegashima, Japan, then in September the Japanese astronaut and radio amateur Akihiko Hoshide KE5DNI should deploy it into space from the ISS using the Kibo robot arm.
It carries two Yaesu VX-3R transceivers using 145.980 and 437.485 MHz.
The FSpace team are offering the public a chance to send their name/callsign and a message into space onboard the F-1 CubeSat. You will also be presented with a certificate! See this link http://fspace.edu.vn/?page_id=31

5th Grader's Near Space Flight
The Virginian-Pilot reports that when fifth-grader Tristan Jolley of Mack Benn Jr. Elementary school wasn’t picked to attend this year’s NASA student symposium in Houston, he was disappointed – motivated, too.
If anything, he said, it made him want to work harder. So he sent a balloon up to near space and captured some great video.
He won’t get a grade for his work, his teacher Liz Petry said she wants students to take risks and to learn from the process.

Radio Amateur VK5ZAI on TV Show
Tony Hutchison VK5ZAI
This video shows Tony Hutchison VK5ZAI on the Channel 7 Today Tonight TV show talking about amateur radio and the ARISS schools program.
Tony Hutchison, VK5ZAI's ARISS Satellite Ground Station in Kingston SE. South Australia
The show provides some great insights as to how Amateur Radio can provide support for NASA as well as raise public awareness through the ARISS schools program.
Tony VK5ZAI has provided many Telebridge links for the International Space Station (ISS) to schools around the world. An ISS Telebridge contact is where a dedicated ARISS amateur radio ground station, located somewhere in the world, establishes the radio link with the ISS. Voice communications between the students and the astronauts are then patched over regular telephone lines.
