They are replacing the swamp cooler and water is flowing. We'll be relocating very quickly! We just learned as well that there is 3 inches of standing water above us.

We also uplinked to the satellite. We pinged it to let it know we are listening so need to reset. We also queried the repository of beacons on board and will start to request the history of beacons stored on board. 26 + 27 = 53 beacons received this morning! We also uplinked to the satellite.

RAX was designed and built by University of Michigan students and faculty in cooperation with SRI International. The primary objective of the mission is to use an onboard radar receiver in conjunction with a powerful radar station in Alaska to study the formation of a plasma anomaly known for causing the scintillation of radio signals in the UHF and higher bands. RAX carries a 9600 baud UHF digital transceiver. Using the call sign RAX-1, the satellite will send telemetry at 437.505 MHz. Amateurs are invited to download the free telemetry decoding software (for Windows, Mac OS X,or Linux) and submit reports at the mission Web site.

We've worked very hard to get to this point, but have plenty ideas for RAX 2 and beyond. Looking forward to working with JPL to continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in exploration.

We have some ideas for what's next. I think JPL and UMich should partner on something very interesting. Thanks John! We have some ideas for what’s next.
