mur.sat - the mur.at satellite.

Project

In 2011 mur.at will launch a satellite. Interorbital Systems offers its TubeSat personal satellite kit for aprox. USD 8,600 (launch inclusive). The satellite will occupy a LEO for a couple of weeks before burning in the athmosphere on reentry. This is a SpaceArt project kindly supported by BMUKK.

Observation Network

There will be an ObservationNetwork of people around the world that will follow mur.sat on its mission.

usage ideas

  • as many sensors as possible ()
    • orientation sensor (magnetic field)
    • Inertialsensor (movement)
    • Photoresistor ???
    • WebCam without IR filter!

    • radio scanner (what do you hear in space?)
      • drag an antenna? antenna pole for gradient stabilasation (is this term correct?); exactly orthogonal to receiving direction ...
  • place a high power LED on satellite that blinks when orientation towards earth fits so - using long term exposure - one could get a pattern.
  • sending/receiving data via website (store and forward) should/will be possible
  • place a microphone on the satellite and record sound from space
  • place a speaker on the satellite and play sounds that people uploaded
