Keep it on board George

You haven't really specified how this is any different than the MAI-75 transmissions by the Russians or the ARISS transmissions by the Americans.

Both are designed to transmit images

There was previous cube SATs that sent canned images.

I can't for the life me figure out why your so ... Triggered

Go clutch your pearls else where George

“ ill afford to allow it

to be used for such frivolity.”

You sound like a horseman when the car was invented.

We can Ill afford to keep running off kids with your and your ilks nonsense.

This is not a commercial endeavor. I don’t see how this is any different than the SSTV transmissions from Russian ISS or the ARISS

I also see this more in line with amateur radio use than say using the Amateur spectrum to fly

RC planes and drones

Old Man yells at cloud and other news at 7

Beaming a grumpy cat from space will be This hobbies salvation.

No, broadcasting is EXACTLY what the rtl-sdr.com article lists as the satellite's intended mission.

There are already more than enough smallsats that are using amateur frequencies for questionable missions...

Considering all the threats to our spectrum, we can ill afford to allow it to be used for such frivolity.

Guess you all missed the key word, "broadcasting"...

Call it beacon. Perhaps a beacon more "useful" to amateur radio operators than some university bird beaconing a 9K6 GMSK stream of unknown format in the ham bands.
