And it was audible.... I heard it at 1441 UTC on 31 July, so the cosmonauts/astronauts haven't turned off the experiment yet. I heard a voice ID and Japanese greeting on the 145.950 MHz frequency. It should be a lot easier to hear and find once it's fully operational on Wednesday.

Russian cosmonauts are scheduled to manually launch an amateur radio experiment satellite during the upcoming EVA on the International Space Station on 3 August 2011. The ARISSat-1/KEDR satellite is primarily intended to promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics education around...

Although it still isn't clear whether White Star will make another launch attempt this season, Project Blue Horizon is mobilizing for their final flight of the season tonight. Check out the PBH links above for more information. Unfortunately for PBH, high altitude winds are now out of the...

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the first manned space flight by Yuri Gagarin, the crew of the International Space Station will activate the ARISSat-1 satellite aboard the station on 11 April 2011 at 1430 UTC (10:30 AM EDT). The satellite will continue to operate until 1030 UTC (6:30...

***Update*** Launch was scrubbed for a number of technical issues at about 12:20 AM EDT. Further launch attempts to come on later dates.

I had WinDVD 2000 on my PIII box, and I had to upgrade to the latest version (2.6) in order to get rid of stuttering in WC IV. My experience is documented here: http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?t=19077 If you have DVD playback software installed (WinDVD, PowerDVD, etc.), you might...

Space shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to launch for the last time on Friday, so this is your last opportunity to see it in orbit. NASA has a page to help you find viewing opportunities in your area: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/index.html Select your country and click the...

AlexanderDeath, I still have all of the files listed earlier in the thread. PM me an address and tell me exactly which ones you want. Also, I did FTP all of the StarLancer files to a WC CIC server using an account LOAF had one of the staff set up for me back in August 2009, but I have no...

Exterminator17, PM me an address to which I can send them. If there any other StarLancer files you need from the old Lancer's Reactor, let me know. Here is a list of what I have: hexcheat.zip Hex-edited Fighters Info.txt Hex-edited Fighters Info.txt SaveGame Cheat savecheat.zip SaveGame...

NASA is giving U.S. students aged 5 to 18 the opportunity to help name the Mars Science Laboratory rover that eddieb (of WC Flight Commander fame) is helping to develop: http://www.nasa.gov/home/hqnews/2009/jan/HQ_09-012_MSL_contest.html The deadline for suggestions is 25 January, so get...

I sifted through the Windows 98 Resource Kit to see if there was any information on tape drives or Exabyte in particular. This is what I found: So there is no real tape drive support in Win98, and apparently Seagate wrote the Microsoft Backup software, and Microsoft deflects all support...

The drive puts an End-of-Data (EOD) marker at the end of the last piece of data on the tape, so it's a pretty good bet that any software or OS commands will not read past that marker. I'm with Popsiclepete. I wouldn't want my laptop to undergo that kind of thermal torture for hours on end...

Tandberg Data seems to have decent support for the discontinued Exabyte gear. Here is the support page for the Exabyte 8505 drive: http://www.exabyte.com/support/products/get_products_support.cfm?prod_id=109 This page lets you download a copy of the product specifications, and the...

I second Shades2585's last comment. In fact I would suggest that you make sure that you have a small supply of cleaning tapes and any cleaning solutions that the drive manufacturer recommends on hand for each type of drive you plan to use before you get to the archive site. Most any type of...

I do have some comments and suggestions, but I think the last few posts highlight another issue that needs to be addressed. Things have gotten to the point where LOAF and other folks are asking a number of technical and non-technical questions that span a wide range of issues. This is really a...

I have a few comments based on my experience with hardware and software since the early 1980s: LOAF expressed concern on #Wingnut tonight about the need to find out how long it takes to copy a single tape. Given the fact that you have limited manpower and time to access the archive, it will...
