I'm sure many of you will be familar with the CubeSat project, in fact some of you may well have worked on one.
![]() So lets hear it, what would you do with a 10x10x10cm 1kg payload in a CubeSat, beside the obvious like stick a camera in it and photograph your house. Who knows, perhaps one day we may see the launch of the USF CubeSat ![]() |

My idea is of a 9cm apochromatic objective, 36cm* focal length, which is extended linearly outward using something along the lines of spring tension. I have no idea whether it could work or not, and I have not really thought about anything other than the optical setup.
Here is a sample image of M13 using the above setup with a KAF-3200E(ME) CCD. (NOTE: this is not a real image. It is a simulated image created from DSS images.) EDIT: Ignore this until I think about it more. |
