New milestone achieved! 🚀 Between September 22 and 24 we had a very special visit to our lab: Alexander Kinnaird and Enol Vílchez, members of the European Space Agency (ESA), travelled to Cádiz to see the progress we've made on our nanosatellite. 🌟

Once reviewed by ESA, we can finally say: Our satellite is working correctly!! 🤩 We are very excited to move on to the next phase of the project, where we will carry out various tests to simulate the conditions experienced during launch and in orbit. We keep on working! 💫

Test passed succesfully! 🛰️ Today we're showing the final deployment test of our UCAnFly’s antenna, a key mechanism that will allow the satellite to establish communication with ground stations and begin transmitting data once it is in orbit.

It’s a huge pleasure for us to present our beloved UCAnFly CubeSat fully assembled🛰️ We started this dream back in 2019. At that time, there was only a written proposal and a preliminary design.

In this stage, we are physically integrating all the subsystems into its structure, ensuring that they fit together, work together, and are ready to operate.
