Tomsk-TPU-120 CubeSat Video

The Russian space agency Roscosmos has released a video of the Tomsk-TPU-120 CubeSat commemorative transmission from the International Space Station.
The satellite was developed by students at the Tomsk Polytechnic University to test new space materials technology and is the world’s first space vehicle with a 3D-printed structure. It was launched from Baikonur to the ISS on March 31, 2016 in a Progress-MS-2 cargo vessel. It will be deployed by hand during a future Russian spacewalk (EVA), which is why unlike other CubeSats this one has a handle. The call sign of the satellite is RS4S.


Tomsk-TPU-120 CubeSat Callsign RS4S


In May 2016 the Tomsk Polytechnic University celebrated its 120th anniversary. As part of the celebrations on May 10/11 the Tomsk-TPU-120 was activated in the ISS and transmitted a greeting to Earth inhabitants, recorded by students of the university in 10 languages: Russian, English, German, French, Chinese, Arabic, Tatar, Indian, Kazakh and Portuguese.
The greeting message was transmitted once a minute on 437.025 MHz FM. One of the Kenwood transceivers on the ISS provided a cross-band relay, re-transmitting the signal on 145.800 MHz FM.
The video, recorded in the Russian ISS Service Module, shows the CubeSat and the amateur radio station.

ISRO Tests Reusable Space Shuttle

 
Published on May 22, 2016 by India Today  @ youtube India Today
In a significant step towards developing a full fledged reusable launch vehicle, Indian Space Research Organisation tested a sleek winged prototype through a short test flight. The first such flight which is a technology demonstrator has been launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikotta. The idea to develop a vehicle with delta wings and an angled tail fin is to fly into space and land on earth like an aircraft. This will help cut cost satellite launches by 10 times and an advanced version of the vehicle could also be used for manned missions as well.
