With the successful roll out of STS-116 yesterday to launch pad 39B 
for a early December launch, I understand that two Naval PicoSats  
(RAFT and MARScom) were to be on board.

RAFT is basically a 2 meter packet digipeater but also carries 10 
meter PSK transponder, just like PCSAT2 had. But sometime after a few 
weeks on orbit attached to the ISS, the PCSAT2 10 meter receiver 
seemed to become deaf. 

PCSAT2 was to be returned to earth after the last shuttle mission and 
I wonder if a failure analysis had been done on the 10 meter receiver 
and or PSK system? Is the new RAFT Picosat using the same design that 
failed on PCSAT2?

Having been lucky enough to have had one 10 Meter CW QSO through 
PCSAT2 before it failed, no luck with PSK31, I wonder if RAFT is 
subject to the same fate?
