Coss 937 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 And in the typical self effacing manner of Kiwis, NZ is not to be outdone, and has launched a shiny thing into orbit. As NZ's first self made and launched satellite. Yes I know the company is from USA, but they just turned up with money at the end, the Tech and the effort and the people and the place is NZ. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11981271 Link to post Share on other sites

Flashermac 1403 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 The Humanity Star is a poetic and entirely useless satellite. For astronomers, however, it’s a pain in the ass. https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/kznvzw/rocket-lab-humanity-star-astronomers-space-junk Link to post Share on other sites
