On: Arduino-based ArduSat will run your code in space

[joelspark]

The images from anywhere in orbit won't be in real-time - users will pick a spot in the upcoming orbit where they want the picture to be taken (and frame it using a 3D model with a simulated image of what you'll be able to see in that place in orbit), and if they see something they like, they add that image to the capture queue. Once the satellite gets there, it will snap the picture and download it next time it gets in range of a ground station.

If you'd like, maybe I can put the link budget calculations on the Kickstarter?

Cheers, Joel

From the Kickstarter page I understood you where going to give a mostly real-time video feed. If you do have a link budget it would be nice to see it.

I'm working myself on a similar project, but commercially. You can contact me on my e-mail in my HN-profile.
