Friday Fun - Old space-suit = Experimental Satellite

Astronauts on the International Space Station are turning an old Russian space-suit into a satellite by shoving it out the airlock with extra batteries. The suit will transmit a looped message that people with ham radios or police-band scanners can tune into, and there's prizes for people who spot the "SuitSat" from the ground.
