@mpatrickwalton Splurge for the repeater. You go insane constantly carting test equipment outside

new satellite test facility discovered needed a temporary structure with RF-transparent roof so we can run our attitude control testing over our Iridium comms link

🎈@sorcerer_earth (YC S24) builds weather balloons that can fly for over six months, reach previously inaccessible regions, and collect 1000x more data per dollar than current systems. Congrats on the launch, @_protopian, @maxmclau, and @big_veech! ycombinator.com/launches/LdU-s…

@ablative_sasha @RcSboii @joebarnard @AndrewA2061 any idea how he gets the logged data into Grafana? Just time series CSVs?

@RcSboii @joebarnard @AndrewA2061 looks like grafana?

Yesterday, @AndrewA2061 flew his L3 class rocket "Rigel" to 1.6km, with an AVA board flying in passive data capture mode! Some interesting plots of barometric pressure, raw vs filtered horizontal velocity, and all three accelerometers.

@joebarnard @wikkit @bps_space @Astro_Chuck How are you getting the logs off of the vehicle and into Grafana? CSVs or something fancier?

@wikkit @bps_space It's overlaid in post, real time telemetry through grafana is next - an upcoming project with @Astro_Chuck needs more accurate real time control and plots than Sprite had.

Sprint Flight 4! This time with digitally stabilized tracking footage, and live plots! Full Video: youtu.be/XwASPWXh0us

@WueSpace is that a manual pick and place machine you're using in the last two photos? look interesting

Yesterday, #Daedalus2 held an integration day and assembled a flightworthy (or at least wind tunnel worthy 😉) #SpaceSeed. The focus were the rotor mechanics. Everything was freshly printed and we finally tried our aluminium bearing plates. Next weekend, you'll see it in action!

We live in hell.

@WeyesBlood your website is down

someone sent me this image, which the vendor of the pictured integrated circuit has the gall to call "multi-row QFN" this is the single most cursed package i have seen in my life, by a wide margin. literally absolute worst

@ArmstrongCeilng Really does. The inlayed lights really seals it

@ArmstrongCeilng this installation is incredible - do you have information on what species of veneer was used here? #photo660121" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">armstrongceilings.com/commercial/en-…

@pants Release a print of this or else

The last two weeks have been a blast treating the undercarriage rust and removing undercoating.

the writing is on the wall. and developers are artfully installing the wall in the lobby of their new mixed-use luxury housing development as an example of the authentic character of the neighbourhood
