Any NORAD ID for the first cubesat launched, which was originally attributed to Maverick and originally cited as OSIRIS-1?

Just implemented this last night with a popular service provider (Clerk), and discovered that this is default behavior that is not easily changed without risking a fragile implementation.

What do you type to get rid of the first page of results, which inevitably turn out to have been ads that are identical to organic results but nowhere near as helpful?

I always hoped that a version of this was built and deployed and we just didn't know about it. Seems unlikely now, given the X-37B. Due to the hypersonic thermal requirements, I doubt this would be blue. (See Pepsi Concorde.) Looks amazing though.

Yeah, I’ve been trying to sell them replacement data since 2022 for both DMSP & Cosmic 2. It turns out the govt customer can remain disfunctional longer than you can remain solvent.

“No longer a priority” — ugh. Sorry. I agree the whole thing’s a disaster

Kevin @atomic-startup.bsky.social · 26/06/2025
I don’t think this is a policy decision in this case. I think this is because, on this same day, the US military DSIP weather satellites will stop delivering data (they are EOL). No replacements are planned. (That’s just general disfunction though. Last admin couldn’t be bothered either.)

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

Un-American. You don't have to understand the trans experience to agree that they understand their own experience better than outsiders do. They deserve the respect and support of every American. Bills like this one are in direct opposition to the dream of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness

the full quote here english.elpais.com/culture/2024...
Q. It wasn’t just Trumpism. Some Democratic voices say it’s time to move beyond the issue of trans rights in areas like sports, which affect very few people.

A. You could say that about the Jews, Black people or Haitians, or any very vulnerable minority. Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?

Hey @scalzi.com Starter Villain’s audiobook was the perfect companion on a long road trip today. Really enjoyed the characters, dialogue, and the uniquely entertaining story! Gonna hug my cats when I get home.

People are not getting the messages they need the most. As our government information systems (CDC, NOAA) get dismantled, this is getting worse. Truth doesn't have a marketing budget, so spreading those messages is up to us. ONE solution to this, is street art. Join me 3/3 at 8pm lu.ma/53ks8h33

This would apply to the DoD as well. He’s saying the DoD needs to be loyal to him when he gives an unconstitutional order. That’s kind of a big deal and slightly more important maybe than the FCC and SEC.

LEO is typically flown as low as 400km though. I bet that would help the math a lot :)

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer. Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

The idea that powerful people will soon be working to subject an entire nation to much more sickness and suffering by undermining or even taking away some of the most miraculously effective tools humanity has against disease is truly horrifying

Did that. For me it was Atari; 2600 magazine; DnD; punk & New Wave on The Quake; getting rare vinyl in Berkeley; assembling PCs from parts like we do with cubesats today; and taking BART to SF to skate down the hills and ride the banks.

Hoping today is a good day for Raspi-NOAA. This is in California. It's a control for the Colorado setup that was, in fact, hindered by interference from a faulty antenna at a local radio station in the same business park.

From 2010-2016 it was like what I imagined Bell Labs or Xerox Parc to have been like. It was a dream to help design Search, Android, TV, Assistant, Watch, and so many projects in their infancy. Pretty sure it doesn't feel that way anymore.

Bootstrapped. I’ve vertically integrated reducing my sat bus & payload costs to pennies on the dollar. That's great because VCs have not cared about space weather DaaS ~at all~ despite a signed govt deal for $9M ARR. Reduced launch costs will make more companies like mine viable.
