With Bas of the EIRSAT-1 team at the Kerry ground station in the stunning setting of Dún Chaoin. All still overjoyed following yesterday’s successful launch.

The bould EIRSAT-1, Ireland's first satellite, is launching Friday - in 2022 I was asked by David McKeown & co. to draw a stamp-making design for outreach events, and I based it on the original Irish stamps, which celebrated their 100th anniversary last year. Beir bua! 🛰️

👍📡 They’ve made contact. The signal is good! Congratulations EIRSAT-1 team 🙌📻

Looking up into the night sky over Dingle tonight. Amazing to know that #EIRSAT1 is out there, designed and built in University College Dublin and with a poem from schoolchildren in Ireland etched on its side. Congratulations to all in UCD who made this happen and many thanks to ESA Education

Who is tuned in?! The launch of Ireland's first satellite EIRSAT-1 happening now on a SpaceX launch from California 🚀

A satellite made by students will soon launch to space! 🚀
