Interesting concept, but not exactly the best PR picture NASA could have went have gone, have gone, have gone with:

On Friday, SuitSat-1, made from a worn-out Russian space suit, was tossed into orbit from the International Space Station. The satellite's mission is to transmit a signal over FM frequency 145.990 MHz to ham radio operators around the world. The signal from SuitSat-1 was thought to be lost after two orbits but was picked up again on Sunday, according to a ham radio-tracking site.
More here, and here, and if you want to hear what the dorks that are tracking it have to say, go here.
