Anyone got any ideas how we can raise funds ?

Currently I can get "mission patches" to give out to people and "send your name to space" and "your name on a contribution website"

If some interesting instruments such as a camera are included then maybe saying a reward is to get access to that instrument.

That wold be a good idea, there are some Good cameras Designed for Cubesats, but we have to consider the power consumption, but then again, there's always a option to add another 1U for extras

I think the satellite would need to be 2U in order to have enough space for everything. It looks like a raspberry pi, backup computer, hard drive and batteries would take up most of the space in a 1U.

yeep, we either go with a 2U or ditch a few Units.

good thing is that a 2u is not at all that much more expensive then a 2u.

You should do a reward that give access to it. Like a user. I will be more than happy to help if I could access part of it later. Grin

That is actually a good idea, since it's going to be for the community

I think only a few operators who know what they are doing should be able to access it. For security. The reward can be the user get read only access and can send whatever data and commands they want to send up to an operator who makes sure that it is OK to send the data.

there could be a reward as ''use the cubist for 1 day (with supervision)'' a lot of companies do that

Make sure you put some way to update software on it if that's possible...wouldn't want it running outdated software.

i've updated the OP with Kickstarter link and the first goal

I'm not goin' be critical of your endeavor, but please clean up the grammar - mainly capitalization - because it reflects badly on you, in turn, those in the cryptocurrency space (no pun intended). Thanks, bud, with wishing you luck.

Sorry it's a very very bad habit, i used to have tons of binds on SHIFT and almost every third click i did was with shift pushed down. stupid thing got stuck. i'll clean it up.

if you guys like to idea and simply wanna help, a nice comment of any kind would help on the Kickstarter campaign to push it to the top.

i updated the OP with the first goal.

How did you determine the the goal for the kickstarter campaign?

The Main goal with this Kickstarter campaign is Mainly to get the Cubesat structure and the PCB's that comes with it, so we can start building and planing from there. by acquiring the first part we're sure to fix the other later on once people see that we are fully serious about this project.
i didn't want to make a kickstarter campaign starting out with asking for 5-10x times that amount.
sorry if it wasn't clear in the campaign, i'll fix that soon then

This is not entirely the same thing, but it's great that more people are working on things like these Cheesy

i've managed to get a Kickstarter campaign up and running for the structure !

What is the link?

I think we should include two computers, the raspberry pi and an actual board designed for satellites for the flight system. That flight computer can also control the power to the raspberry pi in case the raspi should crash or die at some point.

This site appears to be quite helpful for components: http://www.cubesatkit.com/

That's actually a good idea to have a backup computer.

here it is https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/811726885/cubesat-brodcasting-a-bitcoin-node-in-space-and-fe

i've also made a BTC address in the OP incase people want contribute with BTC
