Starting Oct. 1, SWAP and PEPSSI will go dark. The spacecraft itself is healthy, with enough power and fuel to keep functioning until around 2050.
Here's what's happening and how you can help save them. ⬇️

Boudinage 🇫🇷
Freya Castle looks like a metamorphic rock containing feldspar or other white-ish minerals arranged in something called boudinage. That word stems from French: a chain-link sausage-like structure.
