Currently Playing: CubeSat Prototype SN1 Integration – Part 2 of 2

Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/yeusgM75ys In part 2 of the SN1 prototype deep dive, I cover the remaining #cubesat #prototype integration process, share what worked well, and highlight the bugs and hardware issues that showed up before the test flight. This is the nitty-gritty of pre-testflight #crunchtime , from flaky sensors to last-minute fixes, to bugs that just refuse to be solved. Thanks to @PCBWay for sponsoring this episode!
