| Sep 22, 2019 at 0:37 | comment | added | uhoh | NASA's mission pages link for SpinSat (your first link) has been updated and redirects. I've edited the question to reflect the new link, you might want to update the first link here. I've also un-accepted because the page still doesn't post any results. It's possible there is news of results elsewhere. | |

| Jul 3, 2016 at 2:15 | comment | added | uhoh | I didn't know about the LEDs - this is quite an interesiting experiment! If the tangential thrusters fail, I think it can still "spin" using the reaction wheel. are there any backup thrusters or is it 100% "digital" :) ? | |

| Jul 2, 2016 at 17:54 | comment | added | Chris | @uhoh the convention for satellites deployed from the ISS is to treat them as "pieces" of the original launch, in this case the mission that launched Zarya (1998-067A). | |
| Jul 2, 2016 at 17:34 | comment | added | uhoh | Oh, I see! I didn't realize this was so recent. I'm confused by dates here. I think SpinSat was brought to the ISS by CRS-4 in 2014. But when I just typed "SpinSat Norad ID" I got this link: http://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=40314, but that says SpinSat was launched in 1998. Of course that same site claims CRS-4 was launched in 2012 (not 2014) so now I'm quite confused! | |
