The parts showed up! I'm very pleased so far, the parts fit together while still having tolerances between the tabs so they don't need to be pressed into place with force.

They will now spend the next week in the vaccum chamber degassing.

I got the design for the wood #cubesat frame done. It does have slightly less internal volume due to the walls being 4mm thick, but that's a structural necessity. The frame will be held under compression when assembled with 4 rods. And 8 brackets on the corners, minimal metal.

I spend a lot of my time on this #OpenSource hardware and software #HamRadio project. We have a limited number of no solder kits available next week for your classroom or #STEM outreach: The #AMSAT #CubeSatSim, the #CubeSat Simulator:

Software Defined Radio (SDR) dongles, with low costs, have revolutionized satellite signal interception, putting capabilities once reserved for intelligence agencies into hobbyist hands. With tools like GNU Radio and GQRX, anyone can decode unencrypted satellite transmissions including weather data, pager messages, aircraft communications, and even images from NOAA weather satellites. The RTL-SDR community has documented thousands of interesting signals, from Soviet-era satellites still transmitting decades after their missions ended to modern CubeSats broadcasting telemetry data.
The real eye-opener is how much supposedly "secure" satellite communication remains unencrypted or uses weak encryption schemes that can be cracked with modest computing power. Amateur radio operators regularly decode military satellite transmissions, shipping logistics, and even some government communications that were never intended for public consumption.

Shop highlight!

My 1:1 scale cubesat model. With frame and internals!

I'm currently funding my real cubsat project with my shop, so buying a fake cubesat helps fund a real one!

Ich suche nach einer Person, die uns als #SysAdmin unterstützen will.

Wir bauen #CubeSat hardware selber und wollen Waldbrände auf der ganzen Welt aus dem Weltall finden. Weil wir inzwischen über 120 ppl (+9 🌍 🛰️ !) sind brauchen wir Support bei unserer internen IT 🔥 🚒

Ganz viel Linux (#Debian), #Ansible, aber auch SaaS Services und Office-Infra (#Ubiquity) brauchen eine feste Anlaufstelle.

hmu!

Canadian startup Wyvern operates a growing CubeSat constellation that generates hyperspectral satellite imagery and hosts an open data program. Mark Litwintschik has posted a detailed examination of Wyvern's open data feed and the array of tools he uses to do so:

this was from 2023 :)

but we launched the satellite the week after :)
