ISTSat-1 will be the first nanosatellite from Portugal to reach space. It is a project developed by students, professors, and radio amateurs at IST-Taguspark.
Nice QSL card, confirming my reception of the CW beacon from 🛰️ ISTSAT-1, a few hours after its deployment. Many thanks to @ct2kjr from the @ISTSat_One team at the @istecnico.
