SA AMSAT Space Symposium 2014
We were invited to give a mission update at the SA AMSAT‘s Space Symposium on Saturday (24 May 2014) at the Innovation Hub in Pretoria. The event was well attended and even had representatives from SANSA in attendance. Presentations on other CubeSats included Denel Dynamics’ DynaCube, FUNcube-1 and SA AMSAT’s own KLETSkous project.
The paper presented is available below with permission from the organisers.

Update time! No mumbo jumbo, just pictures.
The two pictures below seemed nice enough to write a post about, so here goes.
Although pictures of the sun are nice, the earth makes a much better subject. So far we have only been lucky enough to snap shots of either the blackness of space, the sun or full frame shots of the earth’s surface. So it is with great pleasure that I present to you the two images below. These are our first two in which you can clearly see the curved horizon of the earth!
The earth with horizon, showing the south east coast of South Africa.
The earth with much wider horizon, possibly the west coast of Africa.
