The 'AmbaSat-1' satellite kit is an educational, low-cost solution for consumers that enables them to assemble and code their very own satellite before having it launched into space.
Measuring just a few millimeters in thickness and 35mm in size, the satellites are designed to be launched in the hundreds to dramatically reduce the time and money associated with the process. This allows makers and science enthusiasts alike with an inexpensive way to create their very own satellites that can be launched into orbit where they will stay for up to three months.
The 'AmbaSat-1' satellite kit is outfitted with solar cells, a micro controller, a LoRaWAN radio transceiver, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, a magnetometer and an array of other sensors, if desired.
