Aktuálne pracujem na zostrojení amatérskeho cansatu - satelitu vo veľkosti klasickej nápojovej plechovky. Cansat je vynesený do niekoľkých stoviek metrov pomocou drona alebo rakety. Model satelitu  bude prenášať telemetrické dáta na zem pomocou bezdrôtovej technológie (tlak, výška, vlhkosť vzduchu, teplota, poloha GPS). Projekt je postavený na mikro počítači Arduino DUE. Po vypustený klesá Cansat na zem pomocou brzdiaceho padáka. Počas celej cesty prenáša telemetrické dáta a údaje o aktuálnej polohe. Zároveň ich aj ukladá na vloženú SD kartu.

Jedná sa o jednoduchý model satelitu, pri ktorého konštruovaní bežne súťažia študentské tímy po celom svete. Chcem však (po absolvovaní testov) sprístupniť návody a videá pre zanietencov a nadšencov na Slovensku a v Česku, aby si podobný jednoducgý satelit mohol zostrojiť naozaj každý.

As a 16 year old girl, I've been fascinated with the outer space since my childhood days. I really want Asgardia to be the first ever yet successful space station we, humans, have ever built. But as a concerned citizen of Asgardia, I also want to help this succeed. I want to vote for Asgardia but as minor, I can't. ;-;

The Asgardia Executive Congress in Vienna began today and will last three days. Asgardia's mayor Eren Omurzak and mayoral candidate Arturas Velutis told Asgardia Space News about what they expect to achieve at the Congress, as well as their vision of Asgardia's future

Arturas Velutis is an Asgardian mayoral candidate of Cork:

From the Government, I expect concrete solutions on the issue of help and protection of our citizens, the Asgardians. We are a cosmic nation, therefore, all our solutions and actions must be on the cosmic scale. Asgardians must have the best technology, the best education, the best healthcare. Also, thinking of our lunar arcs… It would be awesome to find out more about these mind-blowing spacecraft! How will life in the arcs be organized? Which professions will be useful in space? I expect the Government of Asgardia to be open and clear. I believe that the most fantastic books and ideas will turn to reality in Asgardia. Our kingdom must become a sort of a space ‘Wonderland.’

We need the national bank of Asgardia to start operating, the sooner the better, to set investment projects in operation for Asgardians to start getting real help. We are a cosmic nation, and we must go from fantasy to reality. We are space-bound, and that’s that. Within the next five years, US astronauts will land on the Moon, and I hope for this generation of humans to be able to see this landing live on air. And if the moon-walking astronaut will have Asgardia’s Coat of Arms on his spacesuit, this will be the best reward for our nation, this is our goal. Yes, I am a born romantic, and for me, such dreams are not fantasy, they are my deepest convictions.

The Executive Congress and other similar events are important as the Asgardian government, represented by Dr. Ashurbeyli, the Parliament, and the ministers will finally be able to get together and discuss important matters, take decisions, and start implementing plans. I am guessing that soon our national currency, the SOLAR, will be introduced, granting all Asgardians a big advantage. I don’t want to run ahead, however. Let everything unfold gradually. I’m a bit impatient to see the  Asgardia Executive Congress, especially the decisions that will be taken there. Besides, I am really looking forward to the Scientific Congress in June. I want to see what our kingdom has to show the world.

Critics say a lot. On the one hand, their input is useful, as any critique causes us to improve for Asgardia’s benefit. Critics call us “childish dreamers,” but do they know that truth comes “out of the mouths of the babes”? Only children are capable of having completely new ideas and real dreams, for, the older a person gets, the more down-to-earth.

Eren Omurzak is an Asgardian Mayor in Turkey:

My expectations of the Asgardia Executive Congress 2019 are, face to face verification of Mayors via Ministers, Members of Parliament, or Local Authorities, the launch of the Asgardian e-currency, and the establishment of Asgardia’s local offices.

We need to have more of these events to make them legitimate, to be able to share the vision that we create.

Modern technology and way of life would have been considered "impossible" 30 years ago, and named an unrealistic fantasy 100 years ago - but this is how we live today. What will critics say or do after we’ve made it?

Recently, Asgardia began offering its citizens the opportunity to be heard through a petition process that promised a government review of every petition that accumulated at least 1000 votes. "What an excellent idea," I thought to myself. A suggestion box for Asgardia! At that time, there were only a dozen or so petitions submitted - visible under the SpaceNation\Petitions at the top menu of the homepage.  In my excitement, I decided to petition for an improvement to the idea. My first petition was titled something similar to this (I wasn't able to recover after I submitted it):

Petition 1.

EVERY PETITION WILL BE REVIEWED & APPROVED/REJECTED BY THE ASGARDIAN CITIZENS WITHOUT THE NEED OF MINIMUM SUPPORT - WITH GOVERNMENT RETAINING VETO POWER (IF EXERCISED WITHIN 90 DAYS).

The idea was to have every suggestion reviewed and approved/rejected by the active citizenry of Asgardia without the need of fabricating any amount support. This would allow any citizen to have a voice, a connection of ideas to the masses. A few minutes after the petition was submitted I received the following e-mail:

SUBJECT: Your petition has been approved by the moderating team

"Asgardia.Space"Asgardia.Spaceno-reply@asgardia.space> "Sat, Jun 24, 2017 at 1:37 PM" 1:37 PM (19 hours ago)

Your petition did not get approved by the moderating team , and will not be posted.If you would like to dispute the decision, please contact the moderating team.

It was accepted on the subject and rejected on the body!!!  (NOTE: 24 hours later, the petition had not been posted)

Nothing else followed - no contact information or resolution process was provided. There was no link to contact the moderating team, not even an email address. A knew a phone number would be out of the question.

After leisurely perusing the site looking for the contact information and finding none (after 15 minutes or the equality of infinity in web browsing terms), I grew concerned about the level of difficulty in the search for this valuable information. So I decided to look for my petition - somehow I had 'assumed' wrongly that it would be saved to my profile. I did not find it, and I grew concerned. Where did my petition go? "I should have made a copy," I reprimanded myself. So I wrote a new petition (This time I saved it in the event that it became unretrievable again). It went exactly like this:

Petition 2.

PETITIONS REJECTED BY THE MODERATOR SHOULD INCLUDE THE BASIS FOR REJECTION ON THE REJECTION EMAIL AND AN EMAIL TO ADDRESS CONCERNS - ALSO ALL REJECTED PETITIONS SHOULD ACCESSIBLE FOR POSTERITY PURPOSES.

When a petition is rejected by the petition-moderator, citizens get an email simply stating that the petition was rejected and to contact the moderator for explanations. No email, link or reference number is given. Above all, no hint about the reason for rejection.

For all purposes, the petition is lost. There is no link in the citizen's profile to return to it or to make edits prior to resubmission (if necessary).

The response on Sat, Jun 24, 2017, at 4:42 PM (16 hours ago) was equally perplexing. The petition was accepted on the subject line and rejected on the body of the email message.

I looked at the other petitions to see if mine had been too extremist in comparison. I found a range of constitutional amendment suggestions, taking over unclaimed land territory in Earth, and deep space exploration-habitable planet search -- ALL of these had been accepted and posted to the petition forum and open to voting. Why then were my petitions rejected, censored? Why the conflicting approval/rejection email message? Was it a TEAM or was it an individual rejecting the petitions? Why wasn't the moderator team contact information provided? But equally important, where is Petition 1, shouldn't I have access to it for revisions?

In conclusion, in my attempt to expand the fantastic idea of having every citizenry's voice openly heard at the critical stage of a nation's birth, I discovered that an individual or small team is deciding the fate of every citizen's petition - the birth of censorship.

Shouldn't leadership take notice and begin upholding & solidifying the Asgardian core principles?

We can all agree that this a great chance for a new beginning, a second chance at how life should be on earth, UNITED TOGTHER, through PEACE and combining our GREAT minds in to something useful. FOCUSING on our future and looking for the next best steps through technology and  efficiency.

Or the same old stuff...Procreation in Space is a main goal of Asgardia. How sad. I mean as I have said before, having a baby in space is going to happen, but not by Asgardia. Why? Asgardia has nothing and no one in space but a cubesat. NASA, Russia, China all have skin in the game. oh and lets not forget about SpaceX.

Having a baby in space should not be a priority for Asgardia, But Scientific research into how this can be made to happen safely. Medial devices, how to handle the birth, NICU etc.

If NASA is planning on going back to the moon within 5 years, and stay on the moon. Then having a baby is going to happen sometime after the first people set foot on it. But due to gravity being less than that of the Earth, how do we handle having a baby on it?

So my point it that we need someone smarter than the Head of the Nation to make a decision on the Medical Research, Engineering Research needed to be able to have a baby in space and a healthy one at that.

Today citizens accepted our constitution! Asgardia will unify the human race by removing the imaginary inherited obstacles invented by our misguided ancient ancestors.  We as a people were never meant to be in contest with each other. We are returned to the whole as intended, thus ensuring a better future. If you listen you can hear the begining of the universal frequency stabilizing.

If you hear «first environmental disaster» in a sentence, what do you think of? Nope, it’s not a asteroid, killing all the dinosaurs. Actually, first environmental disaster on our planet happened around 2.5 billion years ago and was caused by appearance of molecular oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere. This event is called Oxygen Crisis. It led to mass extinction of life on our planet and evolution of aerobic organisms.
