The story behind $50SAT, a new approach to amateur satellite design which
became the world’s smallest operational satellite, built for £125 in a
garden shed.
On Saturday, August 6, Stuart Robinson GW7HPW gave a presentation on the
amateur radio satellite $50SAT to the Electromagnetic Field event EMF 2016
in Guildford.
Talk Description: If you are building an Amateur satellite the simple
choice would be to assemble a device with all the latest satisfyingly
advanced and complex tech. The $50SAT team made a decision to go against
convention and produce a design with the minimum of components.
$50SAT was the first of a new class of satellite pioneered by Professor Bob
Twiggs KE6QMD; the PocketQubes, designed to be small and light so they
would be cheap to launch. $50SAT was launched in November 2013 using a
Dnepr rocket from Dombarovsky Air Base in Russia and remained working in
orbit for 20 months, the team had only expected it to last for a month at
best.
