DcubeD (Deployables Cubed GmbH) has released its first ever deployable structure product, the "DCUBED SPACE SELFIE STICK", shortened to D3S3. The Space Selfie Stick will be launched into space onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket in June 2021 as part of an In-Orbit Demonstration Mission in partnership with the Polish satellite manufacturer Sat Revolution and the British New Space propulsion develope DcubeD (Deployables Cubed GmbH) has released its first ever deployable structure product, the "DCUBED SPACE SELFIE STICK", shortened to D3S3.

How can high-quality promotional images of your satellite be obtained directly from space? How can your satellite's health be monitored and its problems trouble-shot without relying solely on on-board sensors?
And most crucially, how to prove to your client that the satellite has made it safely to space and is fulfilling its objectives as planned? Or do you simply want to have a nice picture of your satellite or launcher with the Earth, Moon or Mars in the background? DcubeD's D3S3 "Space Selfie Stick" is the solution to all of these problems.
DcubeD has developed a compact 80 cm self-unfurling boom (think extendable arm) with a camera on its end. The entire system fits within a convenient 90x90x40mm3 volume (a third of a single CubeSat unit) and can be unfurled upon command using DcubeD's nD3PP miniature pin-puller actuator to take a selfie-style picture once the satellite is in orbit.
It also offers the possibility to deploy several selfie sticks simultaneously if multiple cameras are needed, either for simultaneous shots of the satellite from different angles or for system redundancy, without increasing the system's overall volume.
A successful In-Orbit Demonstration Mission will pave the way for another COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) product from DcubeD.

GomSpace and J.P. Morgan test blockchain transaction on GOMX-4 constellation
Aalborg, Denmark (SPX) Feb 26, 2021
GomSpace and J.P. Morgan have successfully utilized the GOMX-4 satellites for an in-orbit demonstration (IOD) and tested tokenized value transfer in space. The IOD from GomSpace enabled J.P. Morgan to test the world's first bank-led tokenized value transfer in space, executed via smart contracts on a blockchain network established between satellites orbiting the earth. GomSpace and J.P. Morgan successfully executed a transaction between two low earth orbit (LEO) satellites, which validated the app ... read more
