Updates from the GreenCube: we need to send a telecommand to the satellite to put it back to digi mode, but we had a power&internet outage just before a long weekend of holiday. We’re waiting for everything to be stable again at the lab and we’ll be back! Don’t miss us too much🚀

GreenCube is super happy for all the interactions with the digipeater, thanks to all radioamateurs for being part of the mission! We will now undergo a week of maintenance (until Nov. 15) for the conclusion of on-board experiments and to configure the digipeater for more traffic!

Hi AMSATs, wanna play with our digipeating satellite in MEO? Try to use the now-active GreenCube's digipeater at 5800 km here and let us know! s5lab.space/index.php/digipe…
Thanks to @AMSAT_IT for their support during the development!

After the complete evaluation of the payload system composing the growth chamber, the first 10 days of operations were focusing on stabilising the temperatures for the first watering of the seeds. Now the micro greens growth cycle is on-going and we can’t wait for the results 🌱
