UoSAT-1 OSCAR 9 and Team
UoSAT-OSCAR-9 (UoSAT-1), developed at the University of Surrey by Martin
Sweeting G3YJO and his team, was launched into orbit 40 years ago on
October 6, 1981.
UoSAT-1 was the first modern microsatellite with in-orbit re-programmable
computers and its signals were decoded and analysed by thousands of radio
amateurs, schools & universities around the world.
Find out about the audacious favours Sir Martin Sweeting G3YJO called in to
get UoSAT-1 off the ground in 1981, and the ingenious hack he used to
vibration test it using a car and Guildford High Street!
