| I gave a talk at a symposium organised AMSAT-UK - the UK part of a world-wide organisation of radio enthusiasts that build and operate amateur satellites. The talk was about the programme that my colleague and I are spearheading at the University of Southampton that aims to build and fly a CubeSat, hopefully in the next few years. |  |
I felt I'd sparked a lot of interest with UoS3 (University of Southampton Small Satellite) that is a continuation of my final-year project, BLAST. Hopefully, with many more students that will be working on it next academic year and the increasing number of volunteers in the team we will have a lot more to report during next year's AMSAT-UK colloquium!
The colloquium itself was a fascinating event - it was great to see that building a satellite with a team of enthusiasts is perfectly achievable. And we were privileged (and absolutely astonished) to be able to see a live stream of telemetry from ISEE-3 that was being captured by AMSAT-DL team using the Bochum antenna! Simply mindblowing.
