Throwing Out A Spacesuit

The astronauts at the ISS are stuffing an old spacesuit with discarded clothes and a radio transmitter and will then toss it out the door into space. The transmitter will send recorded messages in six languages to amateur radio operators for several days before eventually re-entering Earth’s atmosphere and burning up. The project, called SuitSat-1, was the brainchild of a Russian ham radio operator.
Cool.
