SuitSat dies after two short orbits

In an earlier post I alerted you to SuitSat - a NASA satellite made from a suit and broadcasting a message on 145.9 FM (or something like that).

If I got you all excited, I do appologise, as it apparently didn't work.

Reports from amateurs around the world indicate that only a few with very powerful antennas were able to detect anything being transmitted from the ill fated satellite. NASA television is reporting the batteries have probably failed or have frozen after just two orbits.

Ah well, I couldn't find a radio that could go to 145Mhz antyway.
