Today is the astronomical new year, the Sun will be longer and longer up each day. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! – at Turku, Finland

Everything is ready for a total dose test at @STUK_FI . The Radics project looks for ways to test reliability without compromise in cost for the New Space missions. This test is for STM32 devices. – at Helsinki, Finland

Our research facility is up! The weather protection is in shape. In spring we install the smart part of the station 📡 – at Turku, Finland

For the first time in my research career I participated in building a foundation for a research station! – at Turku, Finland

I noticed that the #groundstation is now visible in Google maps. When we lost Foresail-1 resource allocation became even tighter. As there is no clear sign I have more time for it, I hope I can get a student to make it finally operating as planned. – at Turku, Finland

EMI shield fitting went well for MIRA 😀 Under this metal cover is a high voltage generator. Unless shielded, that generator can worsen the scientific capabilities of the radiation monitor. @PhysUtu @cleanorbits – at Turku, Finland

Our miniature radiation monitor MIRA is being tested step by step. This time we take the analog signal out and analyse it independently. Now MIRA has everything but its digital system running. Soon, MIRA shall fly on a balloon from Sodankylä. @PhysUtu @cleanorbits @SGO_FI – at Turku, Finland

This board will generate high voltage for silicon detectors of our particle telescope. It will take a bath in pure ethanol and then continues its way to space 🚀 @PhysUtu @cleanorbits – at Turku, Finland

Last components were placed onto the Flight Model of a power supply for a charged particle telescope. Soon this board starts its way into space 🚀 @PhysUtu @cleanorbits – at Turku, Finland
