Today marks one year in space for MO-76 / $50sat. MO-76 is the smallest operational satellite in orbit and has been in continuous operation for 1 year. Considering this satellite is 1/8th the volume of a Cubesat, that's pretty amazing.... but I AM biased :) Howie AB2S
Congratulations! People don't think much about it these days, but in fact 1 year in space is very impressive for something that cost $5,999,950 less than a lot of the stuff up there! ;-)

Howie (and the rest of your team),
Congratulations on your satellite's first anniversary! It was good to talk with you and Michael KD8QBA in Baltimore last month, and to see Michael at work copying the telemetry at Dayton earlier this year. An impressive satellite!
73!

What I find really amazing is that the battery has been frozen and defrosted over 5000 times.......and it still works.
That must be a unique piece of battery testing.
Happy birthday Howie and team.
