Are you building your own cube sat?

Nice! I just saw a Mark Rober video about his self-from-space CubeSat. It’s a fascinating thing to send your own stuff into space.

We didn't end up launching because we only got a couple grand and had to finish it in a year (which was definitely not happening). the whole operation was a bit jank, like we tested the sat in an oven because we didn't have a T-VAC. Also lots of shoddy soldering caused our sat to fail vibe testing!
