Liftoff!! Just watched the successful launch of the #kaust #cubesat!! The @SpaceX technology that allows these missions still feels like magic. Now just waiting for deployment (we're 8th in line). Congrats to the other 50 payloads being launched - some amazing missions on board!

A longer post would detail a steep learning curve: from commissioning and testing, to tasking and collecting, and ultimately processing. I will (try to) post more on this process over the coming weeks. In the meantime, enjoy these beautiful images from around #saudiarabia

[Matthew McCabe @Prof_MFMcCabe]

It's been a (very) busy several weeks since our @KAUST_News CubeSat launched in April. Following commissioning and testing (and LOTS of learning), the @SimeraSense hyperspectral imager onboard the @SpireGlobal Lemur satellite is now providing some incredible imagery ->

[Matthew McCabe @Prof_MFMcCabe]

Congratulations to all the @HALOLaboratory on the successful deployment of the @KAUST_News #cubesat . Our hyperspectral imager will start sending data in a few weeks - so stay tuned for how to access this (free) imagery for your #earthobservation research

[Matthew McCabe @Prof_MFMcCabe]

Our #kaust #cubesat was just deployed from the @SpaceX Transporter-7...right above #SaudiArabia

[Matthew McCabe @Prof_MFMcCabe]

@hannah_kerner Congratulations @hannah_kerner

[Matthew McCabe @Prof_MFMcCabe]

Our @KAUST_News #hyperspectral #Cubesat will be launched on a @SpaceX Falcon 9 Transporter 7 from Vandenberg Air Force base tomorrow morning at 09:48 Saudi time (or tonight at 23:48 Pacific time). You can watch the launch live on https://t.co/fclLPWn20o

I did some fun reporting last week in the Bay Area, checking out companies making meat and dairy products without animals. I ate some of the future of food. Here’s a thread with some of the cool stuff I got to try! 1

@carlosduartephd Try the sand-boarding near San Pedro de Atacama....think it was Valle de Marte. Better rides than the local dunes ;)
