Myself and Joe Thompson talking to The Irish Times about detumbling a EIRSAT-1 with a constantly increasing spin rate after launch. Article by Ronan McGreevy irishtimes.com/science/2024/0…
Fascinating article by Ronan McGreevy in The Irish Times about how, shortly after being deployed into orbit, Ireland's first satellite #EIRSAT1 was literally spinning out of control - and how the team in UCD fixed the problem!
