Our #CUAVA-2 (left) and #WaratahSeed-1 (right) CubeSats, shown below, are ready for launch with Exolaunch on SpaceX's #Transporter-11 mission. Together we recharged the satellite batteries on 23 July US time, with both satellites alive and well. We now await launch into orbit ( 😵 ) on #Transporter-11. The satellites are expected to be deployed into space about an hour after launch. They should become active about fifteen minutes later, including radio beacons. We hope the beacons will be detectable by the SatNOGS community and our groundstation at University of Sydney soon after. The next month will be taken up by acquiring communications with the satellites and commissioning them. By the end of September we (meaning the entire ARC Training Centre for CubeSats, UAVs, and their Applications (CUAVA) and Waratah Seed Space Qualification Mission communities) intend to report the status and first results of the satellites. We are very proud of the collaborations, payloads, and satellites developed by the #CUAVA and #WaratahSeed-1 communities. Later posts will describe the payloads on the two satellites. Our primary focus today is on the journey to develop the people, groups, and technology represented by these satellites. Go #CUAVA-2 and #WaratahSeed-1 ! Go #kanyini and the other satellites also on Transporter-11!

About us
Funded by the Australian Research Council and working with Industry Partners, our mission is to train the next generation of workers in advanced manufacturing, commercial space and Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications. In doing so we aim to develop new instruments and technology to solve crucial problems, and develop a world-class Australian industry in CubeSats, UAVs, and related products. We have been in operation since December 2017, and our headquarters are based at the University of Sydney, Camperdown Campus.
