HiSoLowSoNoSo Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Their next plan is to send up the first Soi dog into orbit. The Thai version of Saturn 5 developed by Somchai Von Braun have had some initial problems but they are confident that they will soon perfect it. Here is a short film from Cape Kutwa launching site. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTuner Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If they built in the usual Thai somchai-maintenance, expect parts to fall out in a few days and the thing will start to resemble an Isaan dumpyard kitchen after a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The estimated life of a Cubesat may be from a few days to a year or so. Therefore, expensive, space-hardened components are not required. The projects demonstrate that functioning mini-satellites can be built using cheap, common components. Using ham radio bands for uplink and downlink data transmissions is the norm - it minimises any spectrum licencing issues and costs. The metal tape antenna is also the accepted design method for the VHF/UHF antenna. Why? Because during launch, the tape is curled up safely and cannot interfere with the ejection mechanism to launch the minisat into orbit. Once jettisoned into space, a data signal releases the tension of the tape measure and it automatically unfurls in the vacuum environment. Sometimes, the most simple solutions are the best ones ???? Interesting article which supplies further info' on the CubeSats: https://business.financialpost.com/telecom/canadian-nanosatellite-startup-kepler-communications-raises-us16m-for-next-round-of-satellites I am curious to know if the Thailand CubeSat has loRaWAN Gateway or Sensor modules installed. LoRaWAN is a very recent innovation that will soon revolutionise IOT (Internet of Things). I have a LoRaWAN temperature and humidity Sensor installed in my apartment which communicates with a Bangkok LoRaWAN Gateway. Live data can be viewed here... https://supiet.tk/ttn/index.php?page=Gateways There are other LoRaWAN Sensors being monitored which are located in UK.
