I'm In Space

This is the satellite I helped build & designed parts for (actually part of the hold-down & release system), we watched it separate from the ISS live & it separated with just about no tumble & has just been “acquired” by the communications system here at Guildford mission control on its’ second pass. This is the one with my name (& some others who worked on it) on a plaque that’ll be signed by the astronauts & returned to earth. :D

Nice one Tony, that work is going to be essential in future to clean up all the debris we have put up there over the years. In his book endurance, Scott Kelly said that the external hand rails on the iss are peppered with micro meteorite impacts so all that debris needs clearing up.
One is one too many and one too many is never enough.

It's about 1/2 the size of a fridge, can you compact them down?

Or

it's got a harpoon & a net - one each?
