Hey! We just integrated the satellite two days ago, we should be on one of the next electron launches this year. Here are a couple pics of the last months which has ben full of testing at vibration, thermovac, emc facilites etc. lots of work but its all done! our twitter @fossasys has everything updated

Looks good man!

1 week working in space   Think this thread is a good demonstration of how projects evolve and can actually be made a reality.

 

Working on the next ones for launch in March now.

I saw the title and was like "no... that can't possibly be what I think it is" but sure enough...

 

Sounds like you're not at this stage yet but any thought as to how you'll get it in orbit?  balloons are great for going straight up but the stuff they carry tends to come straight back down after they pop

Looking back at this message makes me laugh hehe, can't believe we went from this to launching on an ICBM style rocket

 Its been pretty awesome following the progress and recent launch of fossasat-1. Congrats on a successful project! I need to try and see if i can pic up a pass with some of my rf equipment.

Congratulations! It's been awesome following your thread and watching things progress. It's a cool feeling knowing you have hardware up there in orbit, I'm sure even more so for you than me. I only worked on parts of a satellite and didn't really see it to the end as my time at the university ended, but you've seen this from infancy all the way to launch, that's incredible!
