One of the cubesats, FITSAT-1, will write messages in the night sky with Morse code, helping researchers test out optical communication techniques for satellites, researchers said. Artificial star ...

The main purpose of the mission is to test the tiny satellite’s equally tiny high-speed transmitter capable of sending a 480 x 640 jpeg image inside of six seconds.

Five of the tiny satellites were placed into orbit from the International Space Station earlier this month, including one designed to flash Morse Code messages across the night sky.

Twinkle, twinkle little cubesat: Tiny orbiter will shine like a star to transmit Morse Code messages from the sky. Tiny orbiter will write 'Hi this is Niwaka Japan' across the heavens ...

An ultra-small Japanese satellite is being spotted from the ground, thanks to a set of lights that flash brightly in Morse code. The novel cubesat, known as FITSAT-1, has been orbiting Earth since ...

Replacing the speaker with an LED results in pulses of light rather than sound. These light pulses are just like Morse code pulses and can be received using the same receiver circuit as the Morse code ...
