Ha! My first thought on opening the page was "that cleanroom in the picture looks just like the one we have in Yes!Delft". It's a small world after all...
Congratulations on the milestone!

#12What do you use for attitude control? Are your design files and software on a public repository?

#13Hey there, UPSat team member here. If you have any questions for the team I would be more than happy to answer them of relay them to the team.
Will there be a hardened version? Shielded from laser attacks, EMI attacks, projectiles, explosives, etc?
There's no sensible way to shield a satellite from projectiles at orbital velocity.

I would love to know this too. Also, in general, could you talk a bit about other possible 'avionic' systems in the satellite?

#18Great work! When (roughly) do you expect it to be launched, and will we be able to receive signals with a Raspberry Pi + Tv Tuner SDR stick? :)
Launch is scheduled for 30th of Dec 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cygnus_CRS_OA-7
Yes you will be able to receive telemetry. Check satnogs-client for how you can set it up! https://github.com/satnogs/satnogs-client

Thanks!
indeed this is the Yes!Delft cleanroom :)

Hello, and congrats on the project. Could you provide a brief overview as to how does one actually launch the satellite into space? Is there a company that does this, what kind of permits/certifications/etc are needed, etc?
