I'm afraid that last post wasn't a test. That was the last post we received from SilverSat. The satellite re-entered the atmosphere at some point last night. Thank you to everyone who has participated in our mission!

SilverSat has now fallen below 350 km perigee, so we have stopped taking new pictures. We will continue to tweet and transmit SSDV using the onboard images.

This was a 38 degree pass. This is the lowest pass we've taken thus far for a successful picture tweet.

We are getting the hang of tweeting from space! The pictures we are posting to X now are all being posted directly by the satellite.
