It's ~1year since the instruments made by @Eltvor started operating in-orbit, on board of #VZLUSAT2. Thanks to the recent ability of the satellite to control attitude, we can bring you our photos of: Prague, Orlík reservoir, Alps and Sahara.
Již rok nese družice #VZLUSAT2 přístroje od Eltvoru. Družice se dnes umí již otáčet do zadaného směru, takže se můžete podívat na fotky Prahy, Orlíku, Alp a Sahary z našich dvou kamer. (1/2)
We are happy to share first photos taken by
dual camera made by @Eltvor from orbit, on board of
#VZLUSAT2. Both cameras are working properly.
Compression and donwlink of image fragments over
the UHF during comissioning was a real adventure.
First Eltvor's creation aimed for space is now awaiting launch on board of #VZLUSAT2 to be carried by @SpaceX. Live coverage of launch with interviews (language to be decided) starts at 15:50 CET: https://t.co/PX4zofXEjs
Dnes (13.1.) má být do vesmíru vynesena družice VZLUSAT2, obsahující mj. kameru, kterou navrhl a vyrobil @EltvorC. Start s komentáři tvůrců bude vysílán dnes od 15:50 SEČ na: https://t.co/OIwr6EhVFi
In the very last minute #VZLUSAT2 team asked @Eltvor to provide a copy of its camera computer for another payload on board: X-ray detector equipped with unique optics. The photo shows our engineer together with two X-ray scientists from #Rigaku and #Advacam
@Eltvor has designed and programmed the main payload of #VZLUSAT2 satellite: two cameras for Earh observation. The photo captured an upload of flight software to the satellite (August 2020).
@Eltvor's co-founder participated in the integration of #VZLUSAT2 (CubeSat class satellite, volume 3U) into the bay #1 of the deployer (blue rack) by @isis_space. Door shall remain closed until reaching the orbit.
@Eltvor's camera and a computer for another payload on board of VZLUSAT-2 are on their way to the orbit. Heading to the US to be carried by Falcon9 @SpaceX
Nanosatelit VZLUSAT-2 je dokončen a vyrazil na cestu do USA. Děkujeme všem, kteří se na tom podíleli. Více informací v článku na našem webu.
