We release the movie taken by Cute-1.7 +APD II.
The 1st movie of the Earth taken by the Tokyo Tech's nano-satellite
Cute-1.7 + APD II. This movie was taken at an altitude of about
630km above Japan.
The movie is very short. But, it is the 1st movie taken by 3 kg
satellite in the world. From this movie, we could confirm that
the satellite rotates at about 0.2 rad/s.
We are planning to take pictures and movies continuously.
So we're very happy if you cooperate in our operation.
This movie was taken at 2008/07/17 0:02:14(UTC)
