ANDE was deployed from the Space Shuttle Discovery on 21 December 2006 near the end of the STS-116 ISS servicing mission.
The ANDE-FACL satellite deployed and is functioning, however the ANDE-MAA failed to deploy after it became stuck in its launch canister.[1]
The AMDE MAA did finally deploy on Friday 22 Dec 2006 and has been observed by NORAD. [citation needed]
