MinXSS-1 has now been orbit for 2 months! On July 20, MinXSS-1 will also have its 1000th orbit. Party hat time! Thanks to all the ham radio operators that have forwarded packets, Blue Canyon Technologies for making such a great pointing system, First RF for helping us characterize our flight antenna pattern, Jim White for tons of help with our ground antenna and use of his ground station, NIST for help calibrating our flight instruments, and countless others that have made this mission a success.
