All aboard for asteroid Apophis!
ESA's Ramses mission aims to rendezvous with the asteroid Apophis as it passes Earth in 2029. Ramses will deploy a CubeSat led by Spanish company Emxys just a few kilometres from the surface of the asteroid to study it up close.

I found out it only costs like $60k to send a cubesat to space so I could put some porno up there if I wanted

I had the privilege of working on CubeSat projects. A CubeSat is a class of small satellites of 10 cm (3.9 in) cubes.CubeSats have a mass of no more than 2 kg (4.4 lb) per unit. What are some of the uses of CubeSat you envision? 🧪

It took a year and a half, but my @crunchlabs.bsky.social space selfie with Emily finally arrived!
It’s a CubeSat with a screen and camera. You can request certain conditions for your selfie too
So, that’s super awesome.

3 years ago, NASA crashed the DART spacecraft into an asteroid at 22,000 kilometers per hour. The event changed the asteroid's orbit and tilt & sent it tumbling.
