Jan King, a 40-year veteran of smallsat projects: I don't have a resume, I have a career block diagram. #smallsat
2011-08-10 23:10:28King on commercializing smallsats: marginal success in telecom, "pretty darn good" success in Earth obs, but not much else. #smallsat
2011-08-10 23:27:01Dan Oltrogge, AGI: many cubesats violating orbital debris mitigation guideline of deorbiting ≤ 25 years of mission end. #smallsat
2011-08-11 00:04:51Transparent mesh antenna on top of solar cells. Very interesting! #smallsat student competition #fb
2011-08-11 02:25:35Andrews Space working on system to reduce the deorbit time for a 3U cubesat by 10x; can also be used for landing/recovery #smallsat
2011-08-11 23:45:55Acronym of the day: Cubesat Hydrazine Adaptable Monopropellant Propulsion System (CHAMPS). #smallsat
2011-08-12 00:02:47University Nanosatellite Program (UNP) program sponsored by AFRL/AFOSR/AIAA fly #smallsat for universities, in 7th cycle #CubeSat
2011-08-12 03:35:52ExoplanetSat: interesting MIT project to use a 3U cubesat to perform transit photometry looking for Earth-sized exoplanets. #smallsat
2011-08-12 04:35:07MIT/Draper team working on ExoplanetSat prototype now; long-term goal is to have a fleet in orbit looking at specific stars. #smallsat
2011-08-12 04:35:45New acronym of the day winner: Agile Low-cost Laboratory for Space Technology Acceleration and Research (ALL-STAR) #smallsat
