re: FASTSAT a blast from the past?
Do not know the purpose of this. No real reason, no attitude control, no attitude determination, is there any telecommunications, is there any power for payloads?, was there a purpose to spend $4M to revisit 1950's methods?. I would hope we would be spending money to make progress, and not on how to make hexagons.
If there was a reason for this vehicle, it should have been stated, and at least some rationale of some mission, of some orbit, of some duration, of something.
