Nice video of our @InhDelft Design Built & Test (DBT) project for our 3rd year students. Lots of hands-on engineering going-on. One of the projects was for my company @EyeOnOrbit to DBT an Optical SatCom prototype. youtube.com/watch?v=VGRrgOgH…

Did full maintenance cycle for the @EyeOnOrbit teleport. Now running on Ubuntu 20.04, more storage, @Blockstream satellite update and @BitlinqS version 3.0. And the vineyard is proper again.
2 teams of @InhDelft Aeronautical & Precision Engineering students designed, built and tested 2 Optical SatCom laser terminal prototypes. Well done to all with a great achievement!
Our teleport got an update. Receiving @Blockstream satellite data to enable @BitlinqS

Bitlinq service announcement just broadcasted globally through @Blockstream Satellite 2.0. It's for visibility prediction of the @lacuna_space payload on-board the M6P satellite. These TLE's are used in the S/W for the uplink programming.

Bummer I was not selected in @PeterMcCormack's #bitcoin halving celebration grants. Had proposal to provide schools with @Blockstream Satellite SDR kits & IOT uplink terminals. But hey, there is always opportunity to chip in through this crowdfunding! tallyco.in/s/4mhz8q/
Replying to @PeterMcCormack
Grants went to:
- Fund a podcast *2
- Take courses
- Buy books
- Content in Venezuela and the Middle-East
- Some dude to create a node (his wife won't let him)
