Latest episode of This Week in Engineering: youtu.be/BOykjUfNpeg

We talk cubesats, the TMC Dumont and the Plan of St. Gall

@IsaacMaw_Robots sounds interesting. Especially cubesats. Was part of the team that developed one..

@IsaacMaw_Robots yeah it was part of the QB50 project of the Von Karman Institute. I don't know specifically which launch it went on. Can find out if you like..

@IsaacMaw_Robots Here are some more details if you would like to know more: qb50.eu/index.php/project-desc

So our satellite the X-Cubesat was one of the 28 that was launched from the ISS directly. I remember it because we had to make last minute modifications to the satellite body to enable it to fit in the NanoRacks robotic arm aboard the ISS.

Hope this was useful.
