[2:06pm] DearZebra: thanks dale, I'll take over from here
[2:08pm] ustreamer-745766: hi
[2:08pm] DearZebra: hi ustreamer
[2:08pm] ustreamer-194260: OOOPPSS!!!!!!!
[2:08pm] DearZebra: hi ustreamers 
[2:11pm] ustreamer-745766: only 200 viewers?
[2:11pm] MattRichardson: What kind of experiments are being done?
[2:12pm] ustreamer-745766: how much do these cubesats cost?
[2:12pm] ustreamer-416227: damn. it lags so much.
[2:12pm] ustreamer-513091: http://blog.makezine.com/space/rules
[2:14pm] ustreamer-119997: CubeSats cost from USD 50K to USD 1 million+
[2:14pm] ustreamer-798256: are artists are also using the cubesat platform?
[2:14pm] ustreamer-166429: What is Teachers In Space?
[2:14pm] ustreamer-745766: come on
[2:14pm] ustreamer-745766: i can't get 1
[2:14pm] cfaulkingham: yeah they don't fit in to the under $100 budget
[2:14pm] ustreamer-975476: there are artists claiming to be working with cubesats, nothing solid so far, though.
[2:15pm] ustreamer-194260: http://www.lanl.gov/news/currents/2008/nov/images/cube-sat-2.jpg
[2:15pm] ustreamer-745766: they should try writing in the sky
[2:15pm] ustreamer-975476: I've been trying to get my hands on a cubesat kit for a while now. Conference on cubesat costs $1200 to attend, let's put it that way.
[2:16pm] ustreamer-745766: wow.
[2:16pm] ustreamer-745766: that's small.
[2:16pm] ustreamer-745766: i could probably make one for much less
[2:16pm] ustreamer-745766: well, maybe no
[2:16pm] ustreamer-745766: t
[2:16pm] DearZebra: hmmm
[2:16pm] makezine: We'd love to see it if you did! 
[2:17pm] ustreamer-745766: metal frame and an arduino
[2:17pm] ustreamer-745766: maybe some rf shielding
[2:17pm] ustreamer-745766: or a pic
[2:17pm] ustreamer-745766: or something else
[2:17pm] ustreamer-798256: which artists are claiming to use them?
[2:17pm] ustreamer-240800: http://www.cubesatshop.com/
[2:18pm] ustreamer-745766: i mean a pic microcontroller
[2:18pm] ustreamer-745766: they followed the link
[2:18pm] ustreamer-474436: ugh... what is everyone's obsession with arduinos?
[2:18pm] ustreamer-975476: Here's a guy opensat.cc (saying he's building cubesat for art)
[2:18pm] ustreamer-435793: '
[2:19pm] ustreamer-240800: Idea: make cotton candy in microgravity.
[2:19pm] ustreamer-745766: that'd be cool
[2:20pm] ustreamer-798256: wow p.12 on sending arduino to space plan http://opensat.cc/download/DIYSatellite_en.pdf
[2:21pm] kentkb: Test 1.2..3..4....
[2:21pm] makezine: questions about Teachers in Space?
[2:21pm] ustreamer-798256: can teachers from overseas join?
[2:22pm] ustreamer-621272: aaaa
[2:22pm] ustreamer-119997: most of the cost of the CubeSat is the launch cost and/or people. The hardware is usually < USD 10K
[2:22pm] ustreamer-119997: CubeSat conference cost is USD 200 - see cubesat.org for details
[2:22pm] hikus-1: How will the teachers get to space? Considering the retirement of the shuttles...
[2:22pm] ustreamer-745766: wow what a relief.
[2:23pm] hikus-1: Or is "teachers in space" not a literal title?
[2:23pm] ustreamer-745766: i thought only bill gates could buy one.
[2:23pm] ustreamer-745766: usher can 2
[2:23pm] ustreamer-745766: and kesha
[2:23pm] ustreamer-474436: what's a film canister? 
[2:23pm] ustreamer-745766: and maybe micheal jackson
[2:23pm] ustreamer-657715: oh I wasn't talking about the cubesat.org event, sorry for the confusion.
[2:23pm] ustreamer-065979: who is this jerk?
[2:24pm] ustreamer-745766: but y would a corpse want a cubesat
[2:24pm] ustreamer-657715: upcoming cubesat workshop in Kentuky charges about 1200.
[2:24pm] makezine: link?
[2:25pm] ustreamer-166429: what is Teachers in Space Program? 
[2:25pm] ustreamer-798256: question: can teachers from outside of US join the TIS program?
[2:25pm] kentkb: Whoa, having a very slow net this morning, my stream hss hic-cups.... heck!
[2:26pm] ustreamer-240800: What grade range do teacher's feel can work with an Arduino?
[2:26pm] ustreamer-119997: The Summer CubeSat workshop is normally free - it is held just before smallsat.org
[2:26pm] ustreamer-798256: hmm tha's sad for humanities outside of US!!
[2:27pm] ustreamer-530330: What kind of input do you get from NASA for experiments TIS can demo in the classroom?
[2:27pm] ustreamer-194260: How is the training for the new teachers?
[2:28pm] ustreamer-657715: here's a link. 1250 for students. http://www.kentuckyspace.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=280&Itemid=178
[2:28pm] ustreamer-194260: For James Kuhl!!!

[2:31pm] ustreamer-513091: Makezine should consider streaming at least parts of the Kentucky workshop
[2:31pm] ustreamer-798256: can we send bio stuff to space? looks like cubesat standard does now allow this..
[2:31pm] ustreamer-798256: DOES NOT aloow
[2:31pm] ustreamer-798256: allow
[2:32pm] ustreamer-119997: CubeLab from NanoRacksLLC.com is better for bio on the ISS
[2:32pm] ustreamer-798256: thank you
[2:33pm] ustreamer-240800: Aside from microgravity, what other aspects of the space envrionment are available to the experiements?
[2:33pm] ustreamer-647741: See the microgravity curriculum at http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/search/detailmini.jsp?_nfpb=true&_&ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_0=ED406237&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_0=no&accno=ED406237
[2:33pm] ustreamer-496364: Is it possible to use small radar systems on the cubesat's to detect the orbital debris which are smaller than 5 cm!
[2:33pm] ustreamer-647741: This teacher's guide to microgravity contains 16 student science activities with full background information to facilitate an understanding of the concepts of microgravity for teachers and students.
[2:34pm] ustreamer-798256: A: fostering the space fantasy
[2:34pm] ustreamer-119997: Not that people publically admit at the moment - the limit is said to be 10cm
[2:34pm] ustreamer-798256: 10 *10* 30 is the largest from cubesat.org
[2:35pm] ustreamer-513091: Makezine: which issue of Make was just shown?
[2:35pm] ustreamer-798256: http://cubesat.org/images/developers/3u_cac_rev12.pdf
[2:35pm] makezine: MAKE Vol 24, all about Space: http://makezine.com/24/
[2:35pm] hikus-1: Do they know what orientation the cubesat is in? What is the condition of the cubesat on recovery?
[2:35pm] ustreamer-647741: You can group cubelabs together
[2:35pm] ustreamer-240800: Idea: Dispersal pattern of a dandelion puff in microgravity.
[2:35pm] ustreamer-647741: cool idea!
[2:35pm] ustreamer-119997: Yes, although people are looking at 10 x 20 x 30 and 20 x 20 x 30  - see cubesatshop.com
[2:35pm] ustreamer-672124: where can i find info on regulations about this kind of stuff??
[2:36pm] ustreamer-798256: cubesat.org ->documents
[2:36pm] ustreamer-166429: this contest says the payloads will land http://blog.makezine.com/space/rules
[2:37pm] makezine: Thank you for joining us! Ask questions for our guests here in the chat.
[2:37pm] ustreamer-240800: Will the container vehicle provide any standard signals to the experiments or should each experiment contain an accelerometer to know when microgravity has started?
[2:38pm] ustreamer-119997: Will the payload provide any access to the atmosphere or external environment?
[2:38pm] ustreamer-166429: so, is this just a design contest?  or will the experiments get launched?
[2:39pm] makezine: Complete rules and submission guidelines: http://blog.makezine.com/space/rules
[2:39pm] ustreamer-589680: can I finally find out how are farts dispersed in outer space
[2:40pm] ustreamer-240800: Great idea!  I love the idea of hackerspaces becoming test equipment builders.
[2:40pm] ustreamer-119997: Will payloads be allowed to transmit RF?
[2:41pm] ustreamer-119997: e.g. camera or deployables
[2:42pm] ustreamer-672124: This is awsome, looking forward to results  @ProtobotInd
[2:43pm] KeithCowing: 62 miles - 100 km - the von karman line = "space"
[2:44pm] willow86: hi
[2:44pm] MattRichardson: So cool that the got the ham community in on it too.
[2:44pm] willow86: ik ben nederland
[2:44pm] willow86: hoor
[2:45pm] ustreamer-240800: Will Kentucky Space be showing at Maker Faire Detroit?
[2:45pm] cfaulkingham: Does it have to have self contained power?
[2:45pm] willow86: what
[2:46pm] ustreamer-647741: Yes
[2:47pm] ustreamer-647741: Its in the rules for the challenge that each experiment must be self contained
[2:47pm] ustreamer-588117: its the skype wall
[2:47pm] ustreamer-798256: it's always the communication that's important whether we're on earth or in the space
[2:48pm] ustreamer-530330: audio problem may be corrected by unplug USB headset and plug in again
[2:48pm] ustreamer-240800: Is there tech support in the chat room?
[2:48pm] ustreamer-647741: How many experiments has KentuckySpace flown in space?  Were any with students?
[2:49pm] ustreamer-303328: I am pretty sure if any students were flown it would have been all over the news, internet, etc...
[2:49pm] ustreamer-647741: I mean student experiments
[2:50pm] ustreamer-166429: http://www.kentuckyspace.com/ - seems yes
[2:50pm] epytv: http://www.1sliperjoe.blogspot.com/
[2:51pm] KeithCowing: Quest for Stars/Challenger Center will be doing a reflight to capture STS-134 Launch footage - student designs/payloads
[2:51pm] makezine: kentuckyspace.com
[2:52pm] KeithCowing: we're hoping to pop over 120,000 ft this time
[2:52pm] KeithCowing: Anyone can send things to the edge of space
[2:52pm] ustreamer-798256: no one owns the space
[2:53pm] ustreamer-166429: question about the contest - do any experiments get launches, or just design awards?
[2:53pm] KB9ZWL: source for weather balloons  http://arhab.org/ARHABlaunchannouncements.html
[2:57pm] ustreamer-798256: this i think is good intro for DIY satellite http://opensat.cc/download/DIYSatellite_en.pdf
