The satellite decayed from orbit on 10 June 2022.[3]
Overview
RSP-01 was Ryman Sat Project's second satellite. It was a 1U
CubeSat weighing around 1.3 kg, and was equipped with an arm that could extend up to 10 cm.[4] The CubeSat had three
transceivers.[2] The on board computer used
Arduino and
Raspberry Pi.[5]
The project began in 2017, and development was completed by 2020.[6][7] Part of the development cost was covered by a
crowdfunding campaign in 2019.[8][9] The RSP-01 project was led by Ryuichi Mitsui and Shuichi Ito.[5]
Mission
RSP-01's main mission was to extend an arm carrying a camera, and photograph RSP-01 with the
Earth in the background, taking
selfies.[5][9] The arm had a
pantograph design to allow contraction after being extended.[2]
