Commander Korzun was heard making voice contacts just after 07:18 utc over the eastern US. He was up well after the crew was supposed to have been asleep.

Congratulations to the lucky few who worked him.

We have received an audio file about a contact between Valery and our member Jimmy Herrera, XE2MZS on November 13 at 06:03 UTC.
The conversation regarding the incoming Leonid meteor storm was prepared in MP3 and Realaudio files and you can find them here: Audio Files from Space

ANDE stands for Atmospheric Neutral Drag Experiment and is a 19" sphere with optical corner reflectors for precise orbit determination. The Naval Academy is building the Telemetry and command/communications payload for ANDE similar to what it is flying on the PCsat mission as both a means to transmit spacecraft Telemetry to the ground and to augment the interest of students worldwide by letting them capture telemetry and communicate via the satellite.
It has no solar power, so when the 7000 Watt Hours of batteries (112 Lithiums) die then it too will die (+- 700 days)

During last night I have seen two times a problem into the PMS System. I sent an e- mail message to Miles about it and I am trying several command to solve the situation when it will occur.
This night the PMS was unblocked succesfully two times after a series of command. Only a case ?
This is the MAREX-NA ISS Amateur Radio Status with an explanation about the "Message 33 bug".

With the Space Shuttle Endeavour launch delayed, Valery Korzun and the Crew will have another week to talk with us from Space.
This morning I spoke with the Commander and he said: '..we will have good possibility to have contact with Hamradio again this week..'
Valery promised us a surprise before his return back home :)
