RSP-01, nicknamed Selfie-sh was a nanosatellite developed by Ryman Sat Project. RSP-01 launched from Wallops Flight Facility on board a Cygnus spacecraft on 20 February 2021.[1][2]
The satellite decayed from orbit on 10 June 2022.[3]
Overview
[edit]RSP-01 was Ryman Sat Project's second satellite. It was a 1U CubeSat weighing around 1.3 kg, and was equipped with an arm that could extend up to 10 cm.[4] The CubeSat had three transceivers.[2] The on board computer used Arduino and Raspberry Pi.[5]
The project began in 2017, and development was completed by 2020.[6][7] Part of the development cost was covered by a crowdfunding campaign in 2019.[8][9] The RSP-01 project was led by Ryuichi Mitsui and Shuichi Ito.[5]
Mission
[edit]RSP-01's main mission was to extend an arm carrying a camera, and photograph RSP-01 with the Earth in the background, taking selfies.[5][9] The arm had a pantograph design to allow contraction after being extended.[2]
Additionally, RSP-01 conducted image recognition by machine learning, and also had a chat function.[2][9] The CubeSat used its reaction wheel to demonstrate attitude control.[2]
