POV: You're a Satellite Taking a Selfie IN ORBIT

With the very first space selfie of our MP42 satellite, we wanted to highlight the vulnerability of our planet's ecosystems and the importance of Earth observation by satellites, especially for monitoring the environment and climate change. For that reason, we planned the deployment of the selfie stick above the Great Barrier Reef - the only living organism visible from space with the naked eye. MP42's Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS) rotated the satellite around its nadir-pointing axis at a specific rate to keep the Great Barrier Reef and Australia in the frame throughout our planned 10-minute imaging sequence that captured a 3-minute video and a series of pictures as the satellite crossed continental Australia. To learn why we chose a consumer-grade camera for the task, as well as the importance of Earth observation using satellites, read our blog: https://nanoavionics.com/news/nanoavi...
