mur.sat - the mur.at satellite.
Project
In 2011 mur.at will launch a setellite. 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.
LEO
Low Earth Orbit (see e.g. Wikipedia for more).
3~4 min per day visibility from Graz/Austria

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
