LONDON (PTI): A 34-year-old South Korean engineer who
scavenged cheap electronic stores for six years has made a USD 500
satellite in his basement which will be launched into space this year.
The satellite Opensat built from electronics collected from cheap electronics store is the first truly personal satellite designed and financed by an individual, its owner Song Hojun has claimed, the 'Daily Mail' reported.
The cubical Opensat weighs 1 kg and measures 10 cubic centimetres. It will transmit information about the working status of its battery, the temperature and rotation speed of the satellite's solar panel.
