reusable satellite
Hardware- 15 Devlogs
- 30 Total hours
I am building satellite that can be used again and again using easy repair system. Also I am also going to build a rocket to fly the satellite to test the data.
in its current state, this project doesn't qualify for A tier since it is only an ESP32 and a sensor. you'll need to do some more design work if you want to get approved! i recommend doing a couple of things:
-adding more sensors
-making a PCB
-making a CAD
also, your project doesn't follow all of the submission requirements! tick through each one of these boxes before resubmitting https://highway.hackclub.com/advanced/submitting
otherwise good work! make sure you do make these fixes otherwise the project will not be able to get approved
Your project seems super cool! Unfortunately, I can't approve your project if the satellite base was designed by someone other than you. Additionally, reviewing your timelapses, it seems you spent a great amount of time doing things you weren't supposed to be logging as hours, like DM-ing people. That is likely to be flagged as fraud by Fraud Squad, and I would advise against claiming those hours. Finally, it seems that AI was used excessively while you coded. While we do tolerate certain amounts of AI, this level of use may be flagged. I would love to see where this project goes, though! Please clean up your Lapses (maybe cut videos or parts of videos out), design a base model by yourself, and add the proper folders/files to your repository! Good luck!
Hey!
I love this idea, but you are going to need to put your files into the GitHub so I can actually review this. Once this is done, I or someone else from my team will take a look at this again! :D
THIS PROJECT IS SO COOL!!
We recently put out some instructions on how to get your repository ready to be submitted
P.S: if you no longer need funding, submit this as a build instead!

I have added a camera system to the satellite and it rotates when it his the sun. It has a gear box that I had laying in my room and disassembled and a toy camera and added to the satellite. Know I just need the rest of the hardware.
I made a better recovery system. It is for the most part, the same.But of the instead rubber bands I used springs from a pen.
I made my prototype for the recover system. I will 3D print the the prototype part to make it look cleaner an better. I will also change from tape hinges to actual metal hinges.
I made my live satellite dashboard with lovable.Ai. Know the next step is to make the hardware and wire everything.
Today I assembled the frame for my satellite and I used some screws and some sticks that I had like the next step will be to put the electronics in and make it work. It does not look the cleanest but it looks cool.
I started 3D printing the the parts needed for my project. I just finished three part. I just need to print two more . Next step will be to build the frame.
I was trying to make my base fro the satellite. Because the frame I had was to big. So I looked on Bambu maker world and found this. “Next step is to print the model.
I decided to learn python because lot of people recommended to learn python first, for what i am trying to do with my project. “No idea what i am doing”😅
Working on my 3D printing file for my project I’m using tinkercad really big and friendly and I really like Taylor cat recommend using it for beginners
I have my frame for my project. Sturdy and decent sized. use to be a nightstand.
Learning code for my project =] I love this community I’ve been learning so much with the people around me.
The code is coming out good! with some bug but thanks to the help from hack club and other people in stardance . Thanks everyone for the help.
Just made my schematic! pretty simple but it should be able to send the data from the GY-BMP280 module to a Commander controller type website.
I just finished finding the hardware for my project. I am also going to use a GY-BMP280 sensor.
Amazon the goat!
I am working on a reusable satellite that has a modular type of body that can be used many times but also with an easy repair system. Also the satellite can have many uses of types of satellites. This image is from Phonebloks. My project will be this but in satellite form.
