S.S.E.T.I. Express Launch Imminent!

Student Space Exploration and Technology Initiative (S.S.E.T.I.) members are waiting on pins and needles for the launch of S.S.E.T.I. Express which is expected at virtually any moment. (Watch it live, here.)
In cooperation with the European Space Agency, students from 12 European countries have joined forces to launch probes which will test the effectiveness of using a network of Amateur Radio Operators as a makeshift "mission control." If it works it will revolutionize the micro-satellite industry and they will move on to launching more complex Spacecraft.
S.S.E.T.I.'s larger goal, however, is to create a technologically advanced training program to develop the workforce of the 21st Century. If that works, it will revolutionize the future...At least for Europeans.
