Still playing DOTA? America's first high school-made satellite is airborne.

In high school, perhaps the most exciting science project you've ever done is using baking soda to make carbon dioxide. Or a simple chemical experiment? Oh, today's kids are a lot smarter than you guys are. The children of Virginia Tomas Jefon High School spent 7 years building a cube satellite, which was launched last night by the Orbital Science Company's "Minotaur"-1 (minotaur–1).

The TJ3SAT satellite will start sending and receiving data after entering orbit, and the public can even submit their information through the project website. After the information is approved, it is sent to the cube satellite, where it is converted into an audio file and broadcast to Earth via amateur radio frequencies. It sounds like it's just a small-time thing-but remember, it's all done by high school students.

In addition, "Minotaur"-1 will carry 28 cubic moons, including this one mentioned in the former Jefferson High School. At present, small cube satellites are also gradually being concerned about. Because of its small size and low manufacturing complexity, it is likely that ordinary people will have their own satellites in the near future. The cube is small and can be placed in your palm, manipulated by a smartphone in your hand. In addition, a company now offers rental satellite services, which cost only 250 dollars a week.

Small series check, this high school is the first high school in the United States ...
