Do you need an external set of eyes to participate in design reviews for electronics / embedded / RF systems? A good review process can uncover issues before the next phase when dealing with them is much more expensive.

A truly beautiful moment. After the kids finished their questions, the astronaut was so moved that she teared up following the students' applause. HamTV exists specifically to fully share wonderful moments like these. @ARISS_Intl #hamtv #iss

BCON-2 has been deployed and will be undergoing initial checkouts by our upstream partner @NearSpaceLaunch and NearSpace Education.
We’ve been counting down 🚀 On March 30 at 6:20 a.m., a satellite carrying a payload designed by Valpo students will launch aboard a SpaceX mission. From classroom to cosmos — this is hands-on learning in action.

We have @ValpoWIREDlab hardware on this flight 🚀🛰️ Looking forward to talking with it once everything is fully deployed!
Our 16th Transporter rideshare mission is targeted to launch tomorrow from California and will deliver 119 payloads to orbit → spacex.com/launches/transpor…

This book on high accuracy electronics is awesome. I complied it (with permission) from the author Christopher Daykin's various PDF notes just after he sadly passed away. He wanted to share this with the world. 🫡 eevblog.com/files/High-Accur…

The next generation of scientists launched a giant (800g!) weather balloon today! In coordination with the Dream Big Program, local students designed payloads to send different materials into near space! Now, we must remove the payloads from the trees... Any suggestions? 😄🧪🎈

Thanks for the shout out, @NWSIWX! We appreciate all that you do to keep us safe, especially on National Weatherperson's Day! Don't forget to thank your local meteorologist today 😀

Valpo is one of the very few schools in the country that offer a free Dale Carnegie course to students while they are enrolled in the College of Engineering.  Students learn about public speaking, time management, dealing with stress, and building relationships.

The SatNOGS-COMMS is a UHF & S-band radio transceiver @LibreSpace_Fnd has been developing. It is #opensource, fully compatible with @SatNOGS, & has recently achieved #TRL9. It's one of the projects you can check at #LSF's meeting room at the @SmallSat. libre.space/projects/satnogs…
