TUPEX 7 TU Berlin

Another attitude control test video! This time we added a PD controller to control the rotation rate on the vertical axis. Check out how “unnatural” it looks when we command w_z=0. Engineering is cool... ⁦@REXUSBEXUS⁩ #ADCS #pFDA

Today we tested one of the pFDAs that we will use for our attitude control experiment! As you can see (and hear), we were very glad to see this working in real life and not just in CAD ;) ⁦@REXUSBEXUS⁩ ⁦@TUBerlin⁩ #ILR

Bench test is now over. It ended with the hot flight simulation of REXUS 28! Timeline actions went smoothly and experiments are now heading up to Kiruna... Congratulations to the teams ! Next step : Launch campaign in March 🚀 – at Berlin, Germany

Hey Major Pepe! This is Ground Control! Bench tests are underway for comms check at Oberpfaffenhoffen. Pictured here, Electrolord David gazes longingly at one of the PCBs as he tries to communicate with it. As they say, communication is key! @REXUSBEXUS @ZARM_de #cubesat #tupex7 – at Berlin, Germany

Our team performed the antenna deployment test for one of the antennas. Success was achieve with a resounding "BWWOOIIING" in the key of D minor. @REXUSBEXUS @DLR_de @ZARM_de @SSC_Rockets #Space #antenna #cubesat – at Berlin, Germany

TUPEX7 at the #IAC2019DC Great opportunity, great networking, getting the word of the FFU out there into the world. 🙌 @REXUSBEXUS @DLR_de @ZARM_de @SSC_Rockets – at Newark, NJ

The team presented a paper at the #IAC2019DC. It was a great opportunity to reach out to other folks in the space industry! Here's a photo of our glorious leader gloriously presenting. Shout out to PM Nick for co-authoring the paper! @REXUSBEXUS @DLR_de @ZARM_de @SSC_Rockets – at Shark River Hills, NJ

Team shirts have arrived! Dobby is freeeeee! Check out our hoomans in blue! @REXUSBEXUS @DLR_de @ZARM_de #dobbyisfree – at Washington, DC

Let the bodies hit the floor! Let the bodies hit the floor! Machining for the FFU bodies have been completed. What a beaut! 😍 @REXUSBEXUS @DLR_de @ZARM_de #rexusbexus @SSCspace @SSC_Rockets – at Berlin, Germany

Interface for the deployer electronics (RBEE) is a great success! Brb, off to celecrate with some beer! #letsgetsomebeer @REXUSBEXUS @ZARM_de @DLR_de – at Berlin, Germany

The arrival of the Helix was imminent... Here we see self proclaimed Mechalord Maharshi with our new weapon of mass communication, the Helical antenna, in full Rambo-esque glory. #intheatersnearyou #rexusbexus #rambo @REXUSBEXUS @ZARM_de – at Berlin, Germany

Testing the deployer camera for our module! Turn the sound on for a fun little Easter egg. Our Mechanical engineer Diego's face can be seem intensely watching the action unveil @REXUSBEXUS @ZARM_de #rexusbexus #camera #slowmoguys – at Berlin, Germany
