Well that's certainly a shame. But I think the group sending it up is unaware that it's going to burn up within a few weeks. The whole push for funding was that donators could have personal data loaded on to the sat for posterity. Not much point to that if it's going to be promptly destroyed in a number of days. 73, Joshua KJ4VYR
