Dr Merbold will give ''information regarding the mission'' using a digital voice memory designed and built by Thomas Kieselbach, DL2MDE. Kieselbach has arranged with Dr Merbold to load actual spoken reports into the digital memory as frequently as time permits, probably every two to three days, according to Norbert Notthoff, DF5DP, the Deutscher Amateur Radio Club's Coordinator for Satellites and Space Projects. The reports in English and German will be retransmitted automatically on 145.550 MHz FM. Dr Merbold will stay aboard MIR for 30 days.
