I Bought a $200 CubeSat to Learn Space Engineering

Описание: I bought a CubeSat to learn how space systems work as I'm a big space enthusiast. Even holding an Electrical Engineering degree/working in AI, I still found that getting into aerospace can feel intimidating — rocket science has that reputation for a reason. After watching couple of theoretical courses, I decided to start some hands-on practice.

I ended up choosing this CubeSat kit from Hexstar Universe: https://hexstaruniverse.com/product/c... . It’s the one of the most affordable options I found (with very basic functionalities though). The good thing about it is that they have very dedicated customer support that can answer your questions in short time, which I found very helpful for learners. Alternatively, I also found these links that you may also consider: https://www.mysatkit.com/product/my-s... and https://www.robinson-aerospace.com/pr....

I am continuously on my way of exploring and sharing insightful knowledge. If you’re a space enthusiast — hardware, software, AI, or anything in between — I’d love to connect.
