ANS is pleased to report the successful Launch of the Kodiak Star Launch
 vehicle from Kodiak Alaska on Sunday morning 02:40:02 UTC (Saturday evening
 local time).

 The launch had been delayed several times due to weather conditions and
Solar
 Flares.
 On board the launch vehicle and of interest to Amateur Satellite operators
 were the PCsat and Starshine satellites as well as another satellite
 developed by the Air Force Academy (Colorado Springs).

 Initial Information indicates that all satellites were successfully
deployed,
 and that the amateur radio satellites have been heard by AMSAT members in
 many countries.
