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…

Signal that Optical SatCom is here to stay
Mynaric has announced its complete withdrawal from the Chinese market – placing the national security of its core markets above all other considerations. Read our statement here: bit.ly/39Gzmpg
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)
