Team Nuts

@AstroForge Triple junction or low cost silicon cells?

Odin flew with off-the-shelf solar arrays: functional, but limited in efficiency and strength. For DeepSpace-2, we built custom arrays, tested them to failure, and pivoted to a sandwich-panel design. The result? Higher power margins and greater reliability with each iteration.

@AstroForge Harwin M80 connectors ❤️

Avionics sits at the center of everything: power, thermal, control, comms. It touches every interface - and every interface changes. So we keep it live, integrated, and adaptable until flight.

🚀 We’re hiring multiple AIT Interns for summer positions! Join our team at Open Cosmos as an Assembly, Integration & Test (AIT) Intern and get hands-on experience working on real satellite missions. If you’re passionate about space tech and excited to contribute to the future of Earth observation, this is your chance. These are short-term summer roles, with the potential to stay on after the internship. 🌍 Location: - Harwell Campus, UK - Athens, Greece Sounds like your kind of mission? 👉 Apply now: UK: careers.open-cosmos.com/jobs/5923946-a… Greece: careers.open-cosmos.com/jobs/5691265-a… #AIT #SpaceCareers #Internship #OpenCosmos #HarwellSpace

@MattGialich Glad you get another shot. Biggest learning from the missions I've been involved in is that solar panel deployment and attitude control can be real stubborn. Basically anything that moves in space is hard and worth extra attention.

Wish we would have made it all the way - But the fact that we made it to the rocket, deployed, and made contact on a spacecraft we built in 10 months is amazing. This is a new frontier, and we get another shot at it with Vestri.

@astroforge Assuming the satellite is still tumbling and therefore doesn't perform its burn to be on course to the asteroid, where will it end up? Any chance of it swinging by earth again any time soon or is it lost to the void?

Update on the last 48 hours of Odin. It's a long update with a lot of detail. We tried to get as much of it correct as we could, but please expect some small updates as we continue to look at all our data. astroforge.com/updates/odin-l…

@MattGialich Such a frustrating string of setbacks. Painful knowing the probe is out there and probably working but with no way to talk to it.

Sorry this took me so long - here’s an update.

@MattGialich @amsatdl @cosmos4u Anyone able to hop on the livesteam and give an update?

@amsatdl @cosmos4u It’s Odin

For those who are wondering what happening.. we successfully received EPIC GEO, IM-2 and ODIN in Bochum.. too many things in parallel at the moment and not enough free hands.. in contact with all the teams.. will report here later.

@joebarnard Straight after Hail Mary I went looking for a similar style book and found Children of Ruin by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Excellent space epic with a lot of similar threads, and first part of a trilogy so kept me going for a while!

I'm almost finished reading Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. It is SO good and I am requesting 400 million more suggestions for books with the same vibe, thank you!

Watch #BattleBots Champions. Exciting series conclusion this Thursday on @Discovery

@joebarnard Cube Sat electronics. Hopefully will have some hardware in space before the year is out!

Whatcha workin on today?

@craigcolliass @RW_History Rematch?

@RW_History And we beat you!

Tauron Mk. 3 fighting Gabriel at Extreme Robots in Maidstone. Tauron Mk. 3 would eventually become BattleBots contestant Monsoon (2017?)

@MonsoonRobot @BattleBots 1 metric tonne

👀 A little sneaky peak behind the scenes of the pits. We literally transplant our whole garage into our out area for the 17 days we spend at @BattleBots ⚖️Any guesses as to how much our shipping crate weighed? #battlebots #discovery #DiscoveryPlus #itsrobotfightingtime

One more Robot Wars Champion will be crowned 👑 Tomorrow at 19:00BST Series 10 will be on our live channel. Don't miss the last Series of #RobotWars (for now) and get our app or visit our site mech-plus.com #MechPlus

🤩 Monsoon 3’s first ever fight yesterday against @craigcolliass with Zadkiel at @extremerobots 2022 Portsmouth!! 😍 Full fight video here: youtu.be/kXCIiOUB6lM

@pinski1_ @MonsoonRobot @Trampaboardsltd We've cleaned them up and glued them up as best we could. They seem to work fine, though will be relegated to spares in future.

@MonsoonRobot @Trampaboardsltd OMG you're using the motor with the CAT5e repair wire! Definitely pot that down!

✅ The gearboxes have been reassembled after we took the motors out to put epxoy over them earlier in the week. We did similar to the @Trampaboardsltd VESCs too whilst we we had eveything out ▶ Next up drive test video 😍 #extremerobots #XRarmy #robotcombat #raindownthepain

Hyyyyyppppeee!! ⏰ 7pm on @ITV4 starting Monday 4th April 🍿 📺 #BattleBots #Robot #robotfightingtime #robotcombat #letthebotbattlebegin #raindownthepain #RainDownAgain
