SuitSat

[1] In a move originally planned for December 6, 2005, SuitSat-1 entered its own independent orbit just after 23:05 UTC on February 3, 2006, when it was released from the International Space Station by Valeri Tokarev and Bill McArthur as part of an unrelated spacewalk.

Voice messages recorded by the teams involved, and by students from around the globe, were continuously broadcast in a number of languages from the SuitSat, along with telemetry data.

NASA TV later announced that SuitSat ceased functioning after only two orbits due to battery failure, but there were reports suggesting that SuitSat-1 continued transmitting, albeit far more weakly than expected.

It contained experiments built by students and a software-defined radio capable of supporting a U/v (UHF uplink; VHF downlink) linear transponder, FM telemetry, voice recordings and live SSTV imagery.

Kedr was deployed from the ISS by Sergey Volkov on 3 August 2011,[3] and re-entered Earth's atmosphere in January 2012,[4] having spent 154 days in orbit.
