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
