Iridium Fansite

Most of the world already knows, but you might be new here: We are fans of the Iridium Satellite constellations – Block 1 and NEXT. We can’t help it and we won’t apologize. But if you come across a vaccine, let us know. No, don’t.

Here you find a collection of what it means to be a fan. And the creative fallout of fandom. Iridium and their breathtakingly smooth exchange of satellite constellations has spurred our creativity to the extent that we

did parody emulations of the Iridium NEXT launches and satellite deployments, starting off as complete newbies to the world of rocketry
did tribute performances that were ten times as funny as parties and a hundred times more effort than putting the beer into the fridge
learned how to do cartoon videos and use the most inappropriate props to say exactly what we wanted to say
learned how to capture stable as well as tumbling Iridium Flares in stills and on video
kept diaries on the orbital maneuvers following some of the Iridium NEXT launches, covering the technical aspects as well as some gossip about the satellites
played games on the slot-swap satellite pairs and their rendezvous in orbit (that’s were a lot of the gossip went into)
and probably much more that me can’t even remember. We might remember later though – because memory is a tricky thing. But that’s a different story. So in short: There could be more. Come back and check it out!
