Progress-41P Carrying ARISSat-1 Radio Docks at the International Space Station

Gould Smith, AMSAT's ARISSat-1 project manager is pleased to report that the Progress cargo mission carrying ARISSat-1 has arrived and docked at the ISS. NASA confirmed capture and docking completed at 8:39 PM CST (UTC-6) on January 29.

Once ARISSat-1 is on board the ISS, crew members will re-attach the handles, install the battery, replace the dummy loads with the real antennas and perform a quick power-on test.
