Are there any information, when the first microsat, probably SIMPL, will be deployed by Kaber?
The Ham Radio QIKCOM-1 module attached to the NovaWurks NanoRacks SIMPL spacecraft is now finally scheduled for release from the ISS during the week of 21 August 2017!
#IAC2017 @NanoRacks hints that they're in discussion with NASA for their own crew on the ISS
Response to a question on the impact of using ISS crew for commercial. Jeff stated that several organisations including his were in talk 1/2
With NASA about putting their own commercial crew on the station. Raises issues about real estate etc but he's a determined guy 2/2
Three-Day Look Ahead:Thursday, 10/12: ... JEM A/L (MBSU/JOTI removal, Kaber plate install
The U.S. Army’s experimental Kestrel Eye is scheduled to deploy Oct. 24 from the International Space Station
JEM Airlock (A/L) Reconfiguration: Today, the crew removed the MBSU from the JEM A/L where it had been stowed after the I-Level maintenance was performed in early September. The Kaber plate and adapter plate were then installed on the A/L slide table in preparation for installation of the KE2M satellite on Monday. After KE2M and SIMPL, another JEM A/L-deployed satellite, are deployed next week, the MBSU will be returned to the JEM A/L for transfer and installation externally at External Stowage Platform 2 (ESP2).
