'''HackSat1''' is a sprite: a tiny independent satellite. It'll be due to launch some time in early 2013 as part of the [http://kicksat.org KickSat] swarm. The primary aim of the project is to receive simple signals from HackSat1 at a ground station at the London Hackspace in Hoxton. In the longer term we hope to design and launch our own hardware designs.  
  
The dev kit is due May 2012. Speak to [[User:Flux|Flux]] if you're interested in getting involved.
