For any spacecraft, there's one system that unifies them all: avionics.
In our latest engineering video learn how we approach avionics at Astranis.

So you all remember back in 2020 when I had that thread on the cheap as chips $20 HDMI capture card that BLEW UP big time?
Well guess what? I'm back with another, this time it's next generation and better than before!

I started BPS.space almost 7 years ago in the fall of 2015 with the goal to propulsively land a model rocket. I had no background in aero, EE, coding, etc so it took a lot of trial and error, but today I finally stuck the landing 🚀🎉

Here's a @kicad_pcb tip: if you select items by dragging left to right, only items completely within the box are selected. However, if you drag from right to left, everything that *touches* the box is selected.

Today, I'm proud to reveal something I've been working on for a few months - @PandionOrbital
We cut the costs of launching a CubeSat from $80,000 down to $15,000, less than some first-class flights.
We're flying our first satellites on a Falcon 9 next year. Next stop - the Moon!
Welcome to Pandion Orbital. We provide a routine, fixed-cost service to orbit starting at $15,000 per U, allowing launching a CubeSat to be as easy as booking an airplane flight.
Pre-orders now open for late 2021 slots.

Alright no cap, a bunch of y'all who are doing "TVC" for model rockets need to sit down and think for a second. Without a firm grasp of the physics, and without a firm grasp of the coding effort required, you could end up seriously injuring somebody. (1/?)

So in the @bps_space discord @nmk4567 implemented a GPT2 neural network with the discord's messages and it's HILARIOUS.

@18SPCS confirmed the 2 inactive satellites (IRSA & GGSE-4) crossed paths without incident. 18th SPCS monitors space debris 24/7/365 & issues conjunction notifications every day to all Nations to support space flight safety. #KeepSpaceSafe
