After 897 days in orbit, EQUISat deorbited and burned up upon reentry to Earth's atmosphere yesterday. EQUISat's last telemetry packet was received on 12/26/20. Rest in peace, EQUISat! 🌠

EQUiSat's count of how many times it's rebooted recently went from 255 to 0, and just happened to do so on #spaceday! This occurred because we store reboots in a limited-size 1-byte integer; we didn't expect EQUiSat to last long enough for this to happen, but we're happy it has!

Issu de notre wiki : connaissez-vous EQUiSat, le premier satellite #opensource conçu par l'équipe @BrownCubeSat, lancé en juillet 2018, toujours en orbite et actif ? Alors, qui lance un fork dans le cadre Fédération ? 🛰️😍 brownspace.org/equisat/

EQUiSat recently flashed over two separate periods! The first began yesterday at ~3:30pm UTC, and the second at ~12:55pm UTC today, just before if flew over our station at @LaddObs. We're now working on setting up EQUiSat to flash at a predetermined time; stay tuned for updates!

This is a map of the locations of every data point ever received from EQUiSat (i.e. the satellite's location when the data point was recorded). EQUiSat is configured to send data recorded throughout the past orbit in every downlink, allowing us to get data from around the world!

On Feb. 7 a Chinese rocket body will approach ~5 km to @BrownCubeSat EQUiSat with velocity 15 km/s. celestrak.com/SOCRATES/searc…

McKenna from @BrownCubeSat has ported gr-equisat_decoder to @gnuradio 3.8 and I confirm it works perfectly under gr-satellites v2.2.0. Soon I will add support for EQUiSat to gr-satellites v3.

We just finished all the parts of our first PVDX chassis prototype! The modular design makes it easy to manufacture and assemble, and will simplify accessing the internals of the assembled satellite.

A big thanks to @darpinian for adding EQUiSat to his satellite-viewing app, james.darpinian.com/satellit…. Check it out, the "see where it will appear in your sky" feature using Google street view is super useful! james.darpinian.com/satellit…

We just submitted a proposal to NASA's CubeSat Launch Initiative to receive a launch for our next satellite: the Planetary Visuals and Dynamics eXperiment (PVDX). Anyone will be able to control PVDX's robotic arm, camera, and display and get back images. Stay tuned for more info!

@NASA18 Oct 2019
At 7:38am ET, our #AllWomanSpacewalk officially started as @Astro_Christina & @Astro_Jessica set their spacesuits to battery power, marking the beginning of their 5.5 hour excursion outside of the @Space_Station to replace a failed power controller. Watch: xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1vOxwapRA…
