The hard work of building our little #cubesat is done and now it's launched. Some of the middle and high schoolers who made it happen are now in college or even out in the working world, and we're all watching to see if it makes it into orbit safely to tweet pictures to order from space!
Thank you!
Woo-hoo!! Huge congratulations @silversat.bsky.social team. Sending you a massive virtual high five from Scotland!!!

Thank you!
We're up! We were floated free into orbit early this morning from the ISS and our student-led team has already made first contact via ground-based radio, so, yay!

"Flawless rendezvous." We like the sound of that! The ISS captured the Cygnus capsule carrying our little #cubesat after a readjustment. It's hard to watch from afar while someone else takes care of safe delivery. #edusky #spacesky plus.nasa.gov/scheduled-vi...

NASA has scheduled a livestream for early tomorrow to start watching for a rendezvous with the Space Station
but no details on an actual time for them to capture the

We made it into space! Eight years after the first middle and high school kids signed on to build a #cubesat, #NASA included us in a resupply package headed to the International Space Station this week. We hope to tweet from orbit come November - silversat.org for details.
