The future of OxidanSky?
Boltonov was in the mood again: He quickly built a prototype of our new Suborbital Space Glider, this one called “SSG Flight Director”. We can’t (but will have to) wait to do the first launch tests with it. We had a lot of fun discussing wicked ways of what to do with it! We’ll keep… Read More The future of OxidanSky?

Being the awesome experts we are, we immediately knew that it was a satellite that had re-entered the night before. Even more so, we quickly categorized it as… Read More Satellite of love
Testing of launch cameras
With all our missions, it is important to us to have good documentation. Why? Because it’s much more fun if other people can watch the whole craziness as well. While we think truly big (the sky is definitely not the limit of Aleks Vansky’s mind), we prefer to start very small (we’re humble creatures, apart… Read More Testing of launch cameras
