Congratulations to the MARIO team for their selection by the NASA CubeSat Launch Initiative (CSLI) for an upcoming launch. Launch details are TBD but we’re scheduled to finish the flight satellite in late 2018.
MARIO (Measurement of Actuator Response and Impedance on Orbit) is a 3U CubeSat collaboration between MXL, Extreme Diagnostics, and Continue Reading »
It’s been awhile, but we’re back online! Our web site rebuild was delayed due to flight builds, eclipses, and summer travel! Looking forward to posting again. Be sure to stay updated on our Facebook Page as well!
With the initial telemetry analysis and checkout phase done, GRIFEX operations has shifted primarily to data generation and mass downlink. GRIFEX’s performance on-orbit has thus far been mostly nominal, allowing us to complete 11 runs of the MARINA payload and downlink the data from 8 runs. The runs are summarized below:
| Completion Number | Date/Time | Coordinates |
|---|
Thanks to Ham operators worldwide, we have completed downlink of the three 1-Hz telemetry runs conducted during early GRIFEX operations (1 Feb 2015 23:29 – 2 Feb 2015 01:56, 3 Feb 2015 00:22 – 05:16, and 9 Feb 2015 02:00 – 04:32). We’ve taken a look at these and some interesting trends emerge.

We are excited to report that GRIFEX is doing well on orbit! Initial telemetry looks great. We are power positive. Temperatures are in good, safe ranges. GRIFEX has also responded well to commands. We are in the process of checking out the spacecraft and making sure everything is working well.
Thanks to NASA and the Continue Reading »
