The technology-obsessed artist has built his own satellite, but is finding it much harder to sell T-shirts to pay for the launch
You have built your own satellite as part of your Open Source Satellite Initiative. What will it do?
It will communicate down to Earth and people can talk to it using amateur radio equipment. Anyone can send it a message, which it will transmit in Morse code using LED lights bright enough to be seen from Earth with bare eyes or binoculars. I'm trying to raise the attention of the general public about the space programme, and give them a chance to look at the sky one more time.
