Hello Due to urgent commissioning activities that are falling a bit behind, we can unfortunately not schedule any SA-AMSAT payload activities for the coming weekend and weekdays to follow. Best regards Jan-Albert E-mail Disclaimer http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm

[amsat-bb] SO-67 schedule issue
