The NASA spaceflight site states "early in the spacewalk." I doubt if an exact time will be given as it probably depends on how things proceed with the commencement of the EVA. The best way to obtain an exact time of "launch" will no doubt be to watch NASA-TV during the event, though it is possible we will get a schedule closer to the date of the EVA. The Mission Status Briefing coming up at 1400 EST today may also be of assistance. Refer also the following "Tokarev will carefully jettison the SuitSat-1 in much the same way McArthur jettisoned the Floating Potential Probe experiment during their November spacewalk. He will push the suit away at about a 30-degree angle upward and about 10 degrees to the left of the back of the station."
