Yes !!!
I can now remember off the top of my head the satellites that transmit some “Music”:
-
Platform-1 (Star Wars-The Imperial March)
-
Hayasat-1 (
Reentered the atmosphere two days ago) -
ZIMSAT-2 (During a period, he transmitted an excerpt from the Zimbabwean anthem)
I’m sure I’m forgetting some satellite

Haha, thrilled someone heard it and recognized it. I reached out to the original creator and got permission to add it to our satellite.

Very cool - is there any reason that it was activated on the 27 APR
It’s been active since late March. We had a bit of a code error on it to start (read - I translated the midi wrong) - but got it resolved within the first week post-launch.

Thx for the reply - is there anywhere we can some sort of schedule for the test OPT-2 will be doing and basic timelines eg:is it still in LEOP phase
Right now I would say keep track of Rogue Space Systems on LinkedIn - we are updating there.
We are post-leop but pre operations right now, doing some system shakedowns.

Do you have any idea why the drop rate (SMA) has slowdown in the last week to an average of -30m per day compared to the previous 50 days of -90 m/day. Thank you
Most likely during the the previous 50 days the satellite has been maintained in an attitude with solar panel “against” the velocity vector. increasing the drag and therefore
most likely like in this picture. (probably camera is nadir pointing).
and now is flying with solar panel “flat” so minimizing the drag
