HackSat One is a tiny satellite sprite, launching as part of the KickSat swarm. The sprite is powered by its own solar panel and is capable of broadcasting signals back to Earth. The launch is scheduled for 16th March 2014 as part of a NASA mission to resupply the International Space Station. There is a related project to build Hackney Space Centre.
Software
HackSat broadcasts a simple set of data including...
Hardware
Below, you can see a photograph of the dev board and dev kit. The sprite board itself is outlined in yellow, with the solar panel taking up most of the left-hand side. The boards beneath beneath the sprite are the TI LaunchPad and connecting board. Key components on the spite are:
