Eye On Orbit

Shifting gears to Nostr: iris.to/spacerik

Nice video of our @InhDelft Design Built & Test (DBT) project for our 3rd year students. Lots of hands-on engineering going-on. One of the projects was for my company @EyeOnOrbit to DBT an Optical SatCom prototype. youtube.com/watch?v=VGRrgO…

Did full maintenance cycle for the @EyeOnOrbit teleport. Now running on Ubuntu 20.04, more storage, @Blockstream satellite update and @BitlinqS version 3.0. And the vineyard is proper again.

2 teams of @InhDelft Aeronautical & Precision Engineering students designed, built and tested 2 Optical SatCom laser terminal prototypes. Well done to all with a great achievement!

Our teleport got an update. Receiving @Blockstream satellite data to enable @BitlinqS

Working on a @BitlinqS pitchdeck for this event

Building two Optical Satcom Ground Terminals with 3rd year students from @InhDelft. Very impressed with their hard work, dedication and creativity. Now in procurement phase for hardware. Pictures soon!

Looking forward to 2021: the year we will make contact again: eyeonorbit.com/2020/12/2021-y… with mentions of @InhDelft @BitlinqS @lacuna_space @Blockstream & @SpaceCowboysPod. Thanks for being in orbit around @EyeOnOrbit! Wishing you all the best for 2021!

Happy holidays and all the best for 2021! Thanks to all our customers this year for their continuous support and service orders. Let's build a marvelous 2021 together!

Merry Xmas & Happy Newyear. Message send out through our service and globally broadcasted by @Blockstream Satellite. And received again in the @EyeOnOrbit teleport. Thanks also to @lacuna_space for all the support this year. We will be back in 2021 for global roll-out!

With the importance of space as a military domain increasing, @PPMBolder and @e_chavannes offer some thoughts on how both defense and industry can anticipate future needs and capabilities. Read the snapshot: hcss.nl/report/militar…

Signal that Optical SatCom is here to stay

Bitlinq service announcement just broadcasted globally through @Blockstream Satellite 2.0. It's for visibility prediction of the @lacuna_space payload on-board the M6P satellite. These TLE's are used in the S/W for the uplink programming.

Resiliency upgrade of the @EyeOnOrbit teleport for @Blockstream Satellite 2.0, @lacuna_space and @BitlinqS: Subscriptionless internet access & censorship resistent global messaging in full force!

Bummer I was not selected in @PeterMcCormack's #bitcoin halving celebration grants. Had proposal to provide schools with @Blockstream Satellite SDR kits & IOT uplink terminals. But hey, there is always opportunity to chip in through this crowdfunding! tallyco.in/s/4mhz8q/

Starting up again my Space Education fundraiser as I get enquiries again for outreach activities. Dont only HODL but als SPEDN!: tallyco.in/s/4mhz8q/ #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork

SpaceX expects more than US$30 billion in revenue by 2025 (or 2026) from its satellite constellation, while revenues from its launch business were expected to reach US$5 billion in the same year. nextbigfuture.com/2020/02/spacex…

@SciGuySpace $100K for @EyeOnOrbit Space Education & Outreach $1M for @BitlinqS $10M for @BluefieldTech $100M for Optical SatCom R&D by @TNO_Research $1B for @Telesat's LEO Ka band constellation $10B for Asteroid mining reference mission $23.8889B for Lagrangian Space Station

Getting the @EyeOnOrbit teleport operational for testing the @BitlinqS service. Uplink via @lacuna_space IOT terminal (bottom right in blue box). Downlink via @Blockstream satellite.
