All remains "GO" for the launch of Landsat-D' and UoSAT-B from Vandenburg Air Force Base in California. The arm plugs have been inserted in UoSAT and the launch tower rolled back. Launch is scheduled for a 6 minute window starting at 17:59 UTC; WA3NAN will carry audio coverage starting 1/2 hour before launch on 14.280 and 21.280 mhz. Assuming a nominal orbit, the first pass visible to the eastern US will occur just after 7pm local time. Frequencies are the same as UoSAT-Oscar-9: 145.825 on 2 meters, and 435.025 on 70 cm.
