🛰️ SONATE-2: Weltraum-Technik zum Mitmachen! 🌍

Wusstet ihr, dass ein kleiner Satellit der Universität Würzburg Funkamateuren auf der ganzen Welt ermöglicht, eigene Nachrichten ins All zu schicken und Live-Bilder zu empfangen? 📡✨

Der CubeSat SONATE-2 ist ein echtes Highlight für die globale Amateurfunk-Community:

Globaler Nachrichten-Repeater: Als technischer APRS Digipeater empfängt der Satellit digitale Nachrichtenpakete und leitet sie weiter, was die Reichweite für Funker massiv erhöht.

Beeindruckende Bilanz: Zwischen Juli 2024 und Januar 2026 wurden bereits über 44.300 Pakete erfolgreich vermittelt.

Rufzeichen: Wer mit chatten will, nutzt das Rufzeichen DP0SNX.

Live-Bilder via SSTV: Mit Slow Scan Television sendet der Satellit Fotos von der Erde von New York über die Straße von Gibraltar bis hin zur Antarktis oder sogar Aufnahmen von Hurrikanen wie „Beryl“.

📍 Wann geht’s los?
Die genauen Aktivitätszeiten für APRS und SSTV werden regelmäßig auf der offiziellen Webseite der Webseite der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg bekannt gegeben: https://www.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/raumfahrttechnik/projekte/aktive/sonate-2/information-fuer-funkamateure/

Der Weltraum wird greifbar. Paket für Paket und Bild für Bild. 📸🛰️

Meet Healy, our THRIVE mascot! 🦎 THRIVE just aced its final bench test in Oberpfaffenhofen. Our autonomous cooling system (-12°C) is validated and the experiment is officially flight-ready. THRIVE has been handed over—next stop: Sweden for our March launch campaign! 🇸🇪🚀

Today marks the first Digital Independence Day, and to spread the word, we’re sharing the steps we’ve taken toward digital sovereignty so far! 🚀
We are happy to be part of https://chaos.social and Bluesky instead of X, are self-hosting most of our web services and are always trying to avoid proprietary software in favor of open source. This is also why we publish many of our projects on GitHub or Gitlab. #didit #dutgemacht

Over the past week, THRIVE had the opportunity to integrate and test our experiment module on REXUS 36 at ZARM in Bremen. For the first time, all subsystems and components came together on the rocket, and got verified as a complete system.

We successfully passed the shaker test and qualified our in-house developed hardware and software towards flight readiness. A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible!

The launch of REXUS 35 & 36 is currently planned for March 2026. 🚀

Thanks to the satellite SONATE-2 that is being operated by students, we were able take these amazing pictures of Campo Militar de Santa Margarida, where the European Rocketry Challenge (EUROC) took place!

Is WüSpace launching #rockets now?!?
No, at least not yet. However, we have been invited by @ASTG to fly a payload on their hybrid #ispida rocket at @euroc_pt this year, and we would never say no to such an opportunity. Thanks for having us!
As the launch date is approaching, members of our #s2outh project have arrived in Portugal, and are preparing our video and telemetry system - "the cube" - for integration.

This week we visited #dlrk, a german aerospace congress. Alongside our friends at #warr, #auxspace, #erig, #sprog, and #ksat, we got to connect with actors in the german aerospace sector, and showed how students can participate in the field.
Huge thanks to #dglr for inviting us!

Have you seen Sunday’s lunar eclipse?
Our telescope did. And it captured this stunning shot of the Moon cloaked in deep red, just as happens during a lunar eclipse.
Because the photo was taken shortly after sunset, the air was still shimmering with heat, creating subtle distortions you can spot if you look closely.

WüSpace goes Wacken 🤘
We have been part of the SpaceCamp at #Wacken, as part of the #DGLR! Besides showing a lot of metalheads what student aerospace is all about, we got to meet ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst, many other actors in the german space sector, and our friends from BEARS, KSat, WARR, ERIG, and SPROG.

Huge thanks to #WackenOpenAir and #DGLR (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Luft- und Raumfahrt) for having us. You rock! 🫶
