KRAKsat Satellite

Hi all!

Our simulations show that KRAKsat will be in sunlight all the time between 14 Dec 2019 03:35 UTC and 19 Dec 2019 07:31 UTC. It would be extremely helpful if anyone could listen to our satellite in that time, mostly on 14th and 15th of December (Saturday & Sunday) - we are going to need as many observations as possible to find out if change in lightning conditions changes the behaviour of KRAKsat and if we can do something about it (it’s still in reboot loop for now - more than 300 000 reboots achieved).

If you would like to know our satellite story more, we published a report today called KRAKsat Lessons Learned - it’s a summary and analysis of mistakes made during our satellite mission (both from payload and platform side). You can find it on ResearchGate (in english) here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/337874738_KRAKsat_Satellite_Mission_-_Lessons_Learned_EN

Thank you very much in advance.
