Upcomming Project - NigeriaSAT-2

Hello all. I allowed myself to sidetrack Hubble with research on TDRS, and in doing so I came across an article on the six Nigerian satellites. Nigerian satellites?!? Sure are. Apparently the NASRDA contracted with Surrey Satellite Technologies and China to participate in the construction of and launch of several Earth observation and communications satellites. I picked out NigeriaSAT-2 based on the SSTL-300 bus and went to work.

I'm going to try to produce something based on this build for Media Classroom's curriculum. Something for the 8-14 year old with maybe some kid-friendly STEM to space articles or practicals. That's still in the works, I need to redesign the tab-slot design a bit more and test it out on my nephews/nieces.

In the meanwhile my third prototype is done and I'm on to composing the instructions. Here's some pictures to spark anyone's interest.
