Last week astronaut Dan Tani visited the EIRSAT-1 control room and talked to team and some masters students in UCD! Some great story telling and discussion around the need for space agencies in different countries around the world 🛰️ #irelandsfirstsatellite #eirsat1 #astronaut

The Antenna Deployment Module and the on-board radio have been cooled to -36C. A deployment test was performed and the antennas successfully deployed in the cold temperatures!

Alongside vibration testing of the Engineering Qualification Model of EIRSAT-1, this week the Antenna Deployment Module and the flight model of the on-board radio are in the thermal vacuum chamber. We will now begin to thermally cycle these subsystems.
