2014-09-30 15.40.29The Colorado Student Space Weather Experiment (CSSWE) CubeSat has been on orbit for nearly 3 years now. In that time, the antenna on the roof of the LASP engineering building has slowly gone out of calibration. It’s time to reset those Yagi antennas! In this time lapsed video, you can see the clouds sliding by the flatirons as the antenna sweeps back and forth in elevation.
