Hi Folks,
Early this morning, with Satellogic, we successfully launched "Captain Beto" (a.k.a. CubeBug-1), the first Argentine CubeSat. The objective of this first mission is technology demonstration, and testing of several electronic and mechanical system. This is the result of two years of work. All the technology development, design and build was done by us in Argentina. Launch was done at China, together with Chinese, Equatorian and Turk satellites. Our sat is now in orbit, 400 miles high. Speed is about 17,000 miles per hour. The satellite is operative, and we confirmed that energy and communications systems work properly. You can follow it live at http://satellogic.com/cubemap/ . If you have access to ham radio equipment, you can listen to it. Orbital and communications data at http://1.cubebug.org/orbit .

Between the new pope and this satellite, Argentina has celestial coverage in both spiritual and extra-terrestrial realms. Seems the place is getting more interesting all the time. I'm going to have to start saving up for a trip.
