Some addition information plus a video of a presentation given by AMSAT-Italia (video in Italian) is on the ESA website at http://www.esa.int/About_Us/ESRIN/Radio_hams_at_ESRIN_with_AMSAT_Italia/%28print%29 I understand the HamTV equipment will be carried to the ISS on the ATV 4 spacecraft currently planned to launch on June 5.
