Hey, that's awesome! Do you know if there are plans to release the data publicly (or where I will find it when it does?)

(not the op, but I do have some insight here)

At a minimum, CuSP data will be available via PySPEDAS:

If you're interested in accessing science data from spacecraft, you should check it out!

I haven't heard much discussion about any data being released from us or our payloads. Since it is a very commercialised mission I wouldn't expect too much, but if there is anything I will definitely share it here (if thats allowed).

Good luck with your launch and the mission. Is there a way for us to follow it?

ispace as a company is not particularly good at publicising their work, which could be a cultural thing, as they are the only Japanese company I have worked for.

But their LinkedIn will have updates as we apprach the launch (hopefully byt the end of this month): https://www.linkedin.com/company/ispace-inc

I will also be posting updates as things are happening on my LinkedIn, which is in my profile.

Thank you! And best of luck with the mission.

I love the almost casual awesomeness of people on hn. Thank you all in general and cuSetanta right now

I am continuously amazed by the work of the people on this website. Especially as a hands-on type person who does horrendously ugly coding to get things done.

I mostly like how many different projects and tools I learn from the people here.
