Card-Sat of the week: @AI_in_LEO built a functional pico-satellite that deploys straight from your wallet for ~$80. This is the kind of mad science that makes the old guard nervous. 👽 are no longer safe from business development! 🛸
Card-Sat V0 is done! This is a business-card sized satellite. Many lessons learned here. At ~$80/sat I was north of beating $50SAT out for the title of cheapest satellite but at least I got to learn to make custom radios, solar panels etc. Next up: deployment & comms tests

The tape spring deployable solar panel was a nice touch 👌

Designing electronics for the harsh environment of space? ☢️🛰️ Texas Instruments Radiation Handbook for Electronics is one of the best practical guides available. It covers: • Space radiation environments (Van Allen belts, cosmic rays, solar events) • Key effects: TID, single-event effects (SEU/SEL), displacement damage • Mitigation strategies (RHBD techniques, layout, redundancy) • Testing & qualification methods A must-read for any aerospace engineer working on radiation-tolerant hardware.

Space rendezvous and docking assisted by extensible booms: selenianboondocks.com/2009/1… This is just a sensible replacement to a process that's been slow, dangerous and complicated for decades now.
