Sunrise Over MSU's Radio Telescope

A sunrise over Morehead State University's 21 meter radio telescope.

We were waiting to make contact with ADAMASat which was to be launched from Wallops Island, VA. ADAMASat wasdesigned and built by Kentucky Space students. The satellite will increase the TRLs for two hardware components which will fly on KySat-1, Kentucky Space's orbital mission.

ADAMASat is only one component of "SOCEM," which stands for Sub-orbital Cubesat Experimental Mission. It is a test of the Terrier-Improved Malemute sounding rocket and Cubesat launcher that may open new opportunities in fast access to space.

Unfortunately, the launch was scrubbed due to uncooperative weather.
