My favorite part about this sat is that it's literally a blinky light. It emits a known brightness of light near earth which astronomers on the ground can compare to distant objects and adjust for atmospheric interference. Love the tape measure antennas, too. That's fantastic.
Tape measures are actually really commonly used as antenna in smallsats. For some reason they’re perfect at doing exactly what they are needed for. One of the ones I’m working on utilizes this. When I first joined I thought it was a placeholder for the real antenna lol

Great work! Question about it being sequential: so if you forgot a screw in the beginning, you got alot of days to think about your lifes decisions? 😂🎉🎉

❤ thanks bro , you are really genuines ❤😊
❤❤❤❤
That looks really tedious! And really fun to do. I love it!
This Is literally awesome! Good job!
This was an awesome video and the music was perfect. I was at the gym watching this feeling super pumped.!
Great job, fascinating to watch
Congratulations ORCSAT team! I'll be watching the launch, best of luck!
Got to love all that Kapton tape 😂
Please more stuff like this 🙏
Odd question but the song is stuck in my head, what's the title of the track from 0:00 - 3:00?
Beautiful
I wonder what that measuring tape was for. I suspect some sort of antenna.
Yes. th-cam.com/video/KpfQcibo58A/w-d-xo.html
Tape measures are perfect smallsat antennas :)
What is the name of the song on minute 5 of the video? is amazing!
Great work! Question about it being sequential: so if you forgot a screw in the beginning, you got alot of days to think about your lifes decisions? 😂🎉🎉
how mush it cost to build this satellite?
What does that thing do ?
What can it do ?
When does it go up?
What is it?
Nice build bro. How may FPS does it run RDR at?
😂
So much work and no one sanded the color of the tape measure antenna...
There's sooooo many PCBs because the board density is very low I wonder why.
I guess it works, but its kinda funny that there is a rolled linear as an antenna
Nice
👏👏🙌🙌
You need USB-C
Shame about the MUZAK.
Hope this thing is not really going into space :D can see bad solder joints on the solar panels from these views :D
Coding free course
_The music is gratingly TERRIBLE._
