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:

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".

The TLEs will be released soon, so make sure to check
http://www.cubesat.org/ for the most recent information.

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