Good News, 200 Million Miles Traveled
At 1:48am EDT, today,
our Vermont Lunar CubeSat has passed two hundred million miles of
travel since its launch on November, 19, 2013, and it is still operating. Over 7200 orbits of our Big Blue Marble.

A year since our first picture
It has been almost a year since we successfully downloaded our first picture we called "The Good Earth". We have been running for 15 months. Today I successfully downloaded and echo and heard 3, which is pretty good since the pass was only 27 degrees and my rotor can't currently track azimuth for some reason.
We are past our mission life goal, and continuing to operate and even collecting science data.
I need to consolidate and organize mission data, but I continue to have good passes and keeping notes on what to do on our next satellite build. Feel free to let me know what you think an any ideas you might have of things we can do better at.
