If you are able to offer your support on, and after, October 28th please send me an email ASAP with your physical location, lat\/long\/el information, and which satellites you can support. If you will be supporting us, please also log into our IRC channel. Information for doing so is below:<\/p>\n

Point your IRC client to irc.freenode.net and join #cubesat . We suggest setting your nickname to something that identifies yourself individually, as well as a note to what organization you are from, if any. For example, “Org_Name_CALLSIGN”.<\/p>\n

The TLEs will be released soon, so make sure to check
\nhttp:\/\/www.cubesat.org<\/span>\/<\/a> for the most recent information.<\/p>\n

In addition to cubesat.org, Spaceflight Now
\n(http:\/\/spaceflightnow.com\/delta\/d357\/status.html<\/span><\/a><\/span> ) also has launch information. If you have any questions about the launch, please do not hesitate to contact me.<\/p>\n
