IRS Flying Laptop

So long and thanks for all the fish!

It’s time to say goodbye here on X 👋🏻 Thanks for keeping me company during all these years ❤️ But don’t worry, I’ll keep orbiting around Earth 🌍 🛰️! For more updates on my journey, make sure to follow my team on Instagram: instagram.com/unistuttgart_s…. See you there, friends! ✨

My department has an instagram account now! Follow us for more updates: instagram.com/unistuttgart_s…

Merry Christmas 🤗🎄

Do you remember my endless summer? It is time to cool down now.. since November, my days consist of 20min eclipse

Happy Saint Nicholas Day 🥰🎅🛰️

To qualify components for ROMEO's electrical power system, Thorben and Kevin visited the Proton Irradiation Facility at @psich_en in Switzerland. Commercial parts were tested under proton irradiation to study Single-Event Effects. 🚀 Thanks for the opportunity @RADNEXT_EU !

Look who made it to the wall of fame ✨! Or at least to the wall of my institute's control room @UniStuttgartIRS . That is me and my siblings up there 😍🛰️

Greetings from @SpaceTechExpoEU 🖖🏻

Last week, Lena and Dominik attended the @esa Antenna Workshop! They contributed to the conference with a poster about my sibling ROMEO's X-band antenna and payload downlink system, and a talk about phased array antenna designs.

ROMEO's heart, the Power Control and Distribution Unit (PCDU) arrived! I wonder what it looks like 👀#unboxingROMEO

Oh no! It seems like my sibling EIVE's will return soon from its adventures in Low Earth Orbit. In spring next year, we expect EIVE to re-enter. 😕

Last week, Julia gave an exciting talk at @ESWWconf - about me👏🏼! I’m so proud to know that I can contribute to space weather research with my data 😍🥰

Last week, the Space Conference 2024 took place in Stuttgart, opened by Prof. Voggenreiter (DLR) and Prof. Fasoulas. We were well represented: Alongside our professors, many doctoral students also presented their projects.

Scince my launch in 2017, my orbit changes continually. Right now, my orbit's LTAN is 5:30. I'm literally riding the sunrise - 😍😎. I'm wondering when I will see the next sunset?

Did you catch the stunning northern lights last week? 🤩 Remember the ones in May? After that last show, my little sibling EIVE detected the increased radiation levels using its RadFETs! 🌌✨Looking forward to seeing the effects of last week's event

Did you know, that satellites can be used to provide power for a lunar infrastructure? That is so cool 😎🌜! Denis presented some energy solutions with these solar power satellites at @IAC2024 .

Last week, we had some visitors from Taiwan Space Agency @TASA_Taiwan . We were very pleased to show you our institute and research. Thanks for coming 😊✨

We’ve got the power! Another component has arrived for my brother ROMEO's Flat-Sat assembly: The @DLR_Stuttgart Institute of Engineering Thermodynamics proudly delivered their latest battery engineering model. Let the testing begin ⚡️🔋

Beginning of this month, my small sibling EIVE was featured at the exhibition stand of Deutsches Zentrum für Satelliten-Kommunikation e.V. at the national conference "Satellite Communication in Germany" 😊
