On February 25, 2013 - after one year launch delay -Aalborg University did launch AAUSAT3. I is a 1U cubesat, weights 800 grams, solely developed by students from Department of Electronic Systems. It carries two AIS receivers - a traditional and a SDR based receiver. The project was proposed and sponsored by the Danish Safety Maritime Organisation. It has been a huge success and has in the first 100 days downloaded more than 800000 AIS messages and several 1 MHz raw samples of radio signal. It receives both AIS channels simultaneously and has received class A as well as class B receivers. Cost including launch is lower than €200.000.
was "fairfax fcps" satellite for real? when do

ALEXANDRIA, Va. - When TJ3Sat launches next month from Virginia's Wallops Flight Facility, Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology will become the first school to send a student-built satellite to space.
FIRST ??? lies
---------------------------------------------
TJ alumnus Jason Ethier proposed the project as a result of an internship he served with Orbital Sciences Corporation. Teacher Adam Kemp then developed a course in systems engineering that would focus on the design and construction of the first high school-built satellite. A $30,000 donation from Orbital Sciences Corporation went toward the purchase of a cubesat kit, which formed the foundation of the satellite. Orbital has also provided the resources needed for the flight hardware, testing facilities for the finished spacecraft, and engineering mentorship by its employees.
---------------------------------------
toward the purchase ? how much did fx. co. flip into this foreign linux / sensors project ?
i'm pretty sure $30,000 != 200 euro
pretty sure
(ps. the "radio cube" it is just a linux pc with access to antenna(s) it does not do any space telemetry, the gov controlled part does all that. it's just a payload, a boxm, on a com satellite)

Bump up your lithium dosage, svenestle. Having FCPS kids send a satellite into space is pretty cool.
