Happy St. Patrick's Day to our colleagues, friends and followers from Ireland! 🇮🇪 🍀
To celebrate, find out how a team of Irish university students have built Ireland's first satellite, EIRSAT-1, as part of our Fly Your Satellite! programme.

If you haven't already heard about EIRSAT-1, Ireland's first satellite, then check out eirsat1.ie or more info.
This is really exciting and is a great for the Amateur Radio community in Ireland to get involved in 😎
You can also follow EIRSAT-1 on Twitter.

The flight model of the Antenna Deployment Module has been assembled today in @UCDEngArch. with the amazing poem co-written by @jcsplibraries @HumanitiesUCD @MoLI_Museum students etched onto the cover thanks to @ucdartistsinres @EFJeng
Our paper describing the design, assembly and validation of the @EIRSAT1 GMOD gamma-ray payload is now available online. doi.org/10.1007/s10686-022-0… It represents a huge amount of work from lots of talented people @UCD_Cspace with support from @esa, @scienceirel, @IrishResearch.
Our previous paper describing simulations of expected GMOD performance can be found here: doi.org/10.1007/s10686-021-0…

We have two exciting opportunities to share!
- MSc (Research) in EIRSAT-1 and Nanosatellite System Modelling at @UCD_physics. More details here bit.ly/3sc3uCp
- PhD in Nanosatellite System Modelling and Testing at
@UCDEngArch. More details here bit.ly/3jQzV5q
Our paper on the high-altitude balloon flight of GMoDem is available here: link.springer.com/article/10… GMoDem was our prototype version of the @EIRSAT1 GMOD gamma-ray detector.
We're really grateful to everyone that helped make this happen, including the ASCOT team from @UofNH who let us fly piggy-back on their gondola and the folks @NASA Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility. The detector is the product of long-standing support from @esascience.
