Solar cell suppliers
Where do people source their PocketQube solar cells from?
I was going to get them from AltaDevices, but I'm nervous they may not be providing now.
I also heard (a year or two ago) that SpectroLab wasn't selling their TASC cells (the corner remnants).
Also, is there another forum (Discord or Facebook or something) that people talk about PocketQubes on? How would I join?
Thanks!

PocketQube Project and Parts
Hello fellow PQ developers. I Have been building my own satellite for some time now and it has become a passion project. Along the way, I have developed several designs for PocketQube and Cubesat mechanical components as well as some ground support equipment. If anyone is interested or if I can help anyone in any way feel free to contact me directly on Reddit or head over to www.hyperionorbital.com

Sattelite Design of Communication System
Hello, We are a team working on a pocketqube project. We are aiming to design one so that we can send a picture from LEO back to earth.
What's the best way of doing so? I came across with SSTV are there any other possible way? Any idea for what transreceivers and antennas should be used?
Thanks in advance!

How do I get one into orbit?
I'm looking into potentially sending a pocketqube into LEO, what would be the cost associated with launch?

Beaglebone black as a pocketqube CPU
I was considering the [beaglebone black] (http://beagleboard.org/products/beaglebone%20black) as a cpu for my pocketqube as it has a pretty low power requirement while still giving me the ability to capture images and other goodies while in LEO. Anyone used or consider using one of these before for this type of work?

Pocketqube communications
What's the best way to communicate with a pocketqube after launch? I'm guessing some sort of HAM style radio transmissions? That would mean getting a amateur ham radio operator license I'm assuming. My team is aiming to start small and first launch a pocketqube using a weather ballon to test all the instruments first and getting communications down is a must! Thanks for any tips!

How would you get a pocketqube into LEO?
Well, how would you do it if you had a pocketqube ready to launch? Beg nasa, ask the russians, see if theres a commercial option?
