SAT GUS Spacecraft

Take selfies with Earth in the background.

My New Satellite Can Take Your Selfie From Space, Mark Rober, Youtube, 2024-11-29.

SAT GUS will enable users from around the world to upload their photos via spaceselfie.com and specify their city. Using Redwire’s flight-proven camera technology, SAT GUS will capture HDR pictures of user-submitted selfies that will be displayed on a Google Pixel phone onboard SAT GUS, with Earth as the backdrop. The photos will then be transmitted to Earth.

The SAT GUS mission is part of a unique science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) activation that raises awareness of the impact space has on our daily lives and will support underserved engineering students around the world.

Thanks to everyone who helped with this incredible build:

• Our Build team at Tyvak International for helping us bring SAT GUS to life! https://tyvak.eu/
• SCHOTT for providing radiation resistant glass https://schott.com/
• REDWIRE for providing the Space hardened camera https://redwirespace.com/
• Muon Space for thermal vacuum testing https://www.muonspace.com/
• The Vibrational Testing Laboratory of Centrotecnica Srl https://www.centrotecnica.net

The satellite looks like other Tyvak / Terran Orbital CubeSat. It is also assumed Tyvak will be operating the platform. May be officially owned by Tyvak and have other missions (TBD). All credits belong to them.
