Ok, thanks. I guess I'll play around with it a bit and see if I can get something to work.

So, I've been playing for a couple of years and haven't figured this out yet. Does RCS get throttled automatically? What I mean is if i have two thrusters at the front of a craft and two at the backbut the CoM is closer to the front will the rear thrusters be throttled so that the center of thrust is on the CoM or will I just spin out of control? I'm asking because I'm building a spaceplane and it would be hard to get four thrusters around the CoM

Pop. I live in Alberta, the Texas of Canada.

I haven't been around much, just kind of lurking because I'm in BC mining for gold. If I find anything I'll donate the money though

That looks pretty cool and might be able to be used on an outer planets mission because of the mount of area it provides, but we only need about 2 panels 10x10. Something like that requires a telescoping pole and we would be screwed if one didn't deploy because we wouldn't be able to spin the cubesat because it would throw off the center of mass.

I never thought of pressure buildup. Depending on what system we use what would be the cause and could we intentionally cause it? It would be kind of cool to have the thing go pop at the end of the experiment or before re-entry. I'm sure the results of carefully dropping the pressure would be much better though.

It would complicate the structure slightly, no big problems if it fails. The way I see it as long as it doesn't cost a million dollars I don't see why not.

I think you're being way too sensitive. The first guy made a joke. So did the second guy and what he said was true. The third guy supported the second guy and proved what you said wasn't true. I don't see why you called them smartasses and jackasses.

Probably chips inside the phone, I should have said assembled in China. My point is still pretty strong considering how most high end Android phones use snapdragon 801's and parts of iPhı̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̨ones are made by Samsung itself.

I've never heard about the Samsung phones being made in Korea. Are they more obscure lower end phones or have I missed checking one of the higher end models?

It would be preferable to have it lunched from a P-Pod on the ISS itself even if it cost a couple thousand more as long as we had the money.

Also too difficult. We would need very precise instruments too large or expensive to fit on our cubesat. This is something with the volume of a 1L pop bottle.

Too difficult. If by cheaper you mean Launching it ourselves then that is completely out of the question. If we can find a cheaper launch to LEO I'm sure we could use it.

No cubesat has ever survived re entry. We won't be the people launching it either. Ideally it would go up on an ISS resupply and be launched from there by hand.

The front of the craft will be open to light. The radiation isn't much of a problem for the plants but rad- hard electronics are preferable. We haven't solved the problem of water delivery and the level of Co2 in the chamber. I'm sure we will be able to keep the orientation in check when spinning.

^ This. At this point his argument is basically "I think it's cool to have one so I like it". the iPhone isn't a very good looking phone either. He also calls the names childish when he owns a device that is named literally phone with an I tacked on.

The general consensus right now seems to be that we will be launching a 1U cubesat with .5 U dedicated to computers and attitude control and the other .5 U will be taken up by a small amount of moss but just under Earth-like conditions but with lower gravity provided by spinning.

I'm sorry I just saw your post replying to mine. I want a phone that I can use without internet. I spend as much as 2 weeks at a time out in the mountains in BC. Don't say "oh well everyone has coverage anyway you just go to mountains!" I get less than a mile out of the closest town with coverage and i don't have a connection anymore. The closest town overall has 300 people and they have no cell towers there at all. The S5 is only slower because of the bloatware Samsung tacks on. If you look at lower end phones such as the One Plus one you can see the difference it makes. Why would anyone care where the phone is made? That's bordering on an untrue stereotype. I don't know how to tell you this but EVERY phone is made in China. iPhones are produced by Foxconn. They have all their factories in China. Samsung phones are made by Foxconn. I'm not sure about One Plus phones or Oppo phones but I'm betting theyre made in China too. Just because your phone says "designed in California" doesn't mean it was made there. Face the facts, iPhones aren't special little snowflakes, they are made like every other phone. If seeing designed in California makes you feel good, good for you. The general population doesn't give a crap, they all know the phone is made in a place where you need suicide nets. TL;DR: iPhones are made in china and the cloud solves nothing. EDIT: NOTHING I repeat NOTHING about the iPhone is top notch. It has limited memory, a horrible resolution, slightly higher but unexpandable storage. You may be able to argue about the OS or the construction, but other android phones have that and don't have all the negatives of an iPhone.

I don't really like the way iPhones look. I like the look of the Tab Pro series especially the black ones. A nice black finish with silver trim. The look of the Oppo Find 7A in midnight is possibly the best looking phone out there and the Find 7 is a close second. I prefer my phones not to look like a squished safety deposit box. Look at that in all its great beauty. EDIT: I'm going to need citations on those claims of confidence boost. I would feel much better if I had a Find 7 than an iPhone 5S. Mybe it's because my friends value quality as well as looks as most people do.

The Mars rovers also move much more slowly than a normal car. It would be cool to have a rover leaving a huge dust trail doing 120 km/h on Mars though.

I'm not sure. It's been a while since the last post. Perhaps we should recruit some people?

A S5 doesn't cost as much as an iPhone. A 32GB S5 is 700$ and an iPhone 5S is 800 for the same amount of storage. A "high" storage iPhone is 900$. If you want premium quality don't look to Samsung. You also just compared a 30$ phone to a phone that costs 900$. The Oppo Find 7 is my top phone. It has a carbon fiber back and storage that you can expand up to 160GB, all on top of a 3000 mAh battery (2x iPhone 5S capacity.) and an Aluminum-Titanium frame. If you want something metal (I don't know why) Look to the HTC one M8. It's got an Aluminum body and comes in the same three colors as the iPhone 5S (Yes even the cheap gold one!). You get more ram more possible storage a better OS and all for a lower price.

If our goal was to simulate the martian climate i think it would be too hard. It's easy to replicate the atmosphere and if we can get the details the soil. But when we get to amount of sunlight and temperature. I'm sure we could do it but finding a plant that wouldn't make it a waste would also be pretty difficult. I say we stick to microgravity experiments in Earth like environments for now.

I understood that post perfectly. And it's correct. File transfers are much easier with Android devices that carry a microSD card. You shouldn't need a special app that probably costs money to access stuff that's on your device.
