[Swansea Hackspace] Satallite hacking! oh and plants

[Emyr Morris]

I remember when they diverted that spacecraft from measuring space weather
to go off to visit the comets... then 2014 seemed an awful long way away (I

I missed the crowdfunding opportunity - I would have thrown some $$ their
way, but I have followed it since they first made contact with the old
space craft

this is one of their latest blog posts
