Kitsat

Kitsat Groundstation 2 is out soon. Compatible with Win10/11, Linux, and Mac OS X. Based on the kitsat 1.2.15 PyPi library. Stay tuned!

Big news day!

Kitsat’s smaller companion is now ready and in full swing. Cansat NeXT is a new and modern version of the traditional Cansat. Available now, with or without a GPS unit, plus other accessories.

Check out cansat.fi for full documentation and user cases, but beware: this may be a slippery slope toward Kitsats!

We ❤️space.

Look at these cute antennas! Our first batch of mass-produced antennas is here – previously we made these entirely by hand. Measure tape is cut, corners are rounded and the hole is punched. Now all this is automated!

Kitsat has antennas made of simple measure tape because it is actually used in many satellites (like CubeCat-1 imaged here) & they’re cute and educational. For instance explaining wavelengths and antenna materials is very easy and visual.

After working the whole day (and evening) to improve space education and make it more interesting, we just realised it is the International Day of Education!
Happy from the space angle!
(By the way, our ground station program now works on tablets, too)

Greetings from the Winter Satellite Workshop 2024 in Espoo, Finland - the largest new space expo & conference in the Nordic countries. We're present during all three days.

Happy new year from Arctic Astronautics!

We see many thrilling things coming up this year. A new batch of Kitsats will be ready in January (a few satellites are still in stock if you need one right now) and hopefully, we'll have soon some news 🤫. Keep looking at this space!

Thank you for being with us in 2023! What a year has it been!
We’ll go now offline for the holidays, enjoy the Christmas break and winter days, and come back to work in January. Seasons greetings & Happy New Year!

Another significant delivery: first Kitsats with US-compatible 915 MHz radio.
Let us know, Florida campus, when these 10 satellites arrive!

What is definitely the best possible ?
👉 Watch live the launch of EIRSAT-1 at 18:45 CET / 17:45 GMT.
This is the first Irish satellite and had been built by students in cooperation with education.
