Progress Meeting 16 December 2005
Friday December 16, 2005 we held a Progress Meeting at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering. Project members, coaches, staff members, industry representatives and other people involved in the project gathered together to  receive the latest update on the project work and the status of the design.
A large number of people involved in the project attended the Progress Meeting in order to hear the latest status of the design of Delfi-C3. We had representatives of our primes customers, Dutch Space and TNO, present at the meeting as well as our new partner for the design of the EPS, SystematIC Design. Of Course, the team members and support staf from the TU Delft were also present as well as a delegation of the Dutch radio amateur community. The day ended with informal drinks during which Jan Ottens held a presentation on space research and exploration in general and his radio activities in space in particular.

Newsflash
Delfi-C3 2 year anniversary
Today exactly 2 years ago Delfi-C3 was launched from India on a PSLV rocket at 3:53 AM UTC. Today we celebrate the fact that Delfi-C3 has been in orbit and fully operational for 2 continuous years or 10.809 orbits around the Earth. We would like to thank all the radio amateurs for their continued support and telemetry submission. Happy Birthday Delfi-C3!!
 
Delfi-C3 on Klokhuis

Delfi-C3 was featured on an episode of the Dutch children's program called Klokhuis (meaning 'apple core'). For more info and the episode itself please check our photo weblog.

In the meantime Delfi-C3 is approaching it's 1-year anniversary. The spacecraft is still performing well and returning science data through our own groundstation and the invaluable amateur radio data collection network.

 
Delfi-C3 back in science mode
On January 29th, after having been in orbit for 9 months and 1 day, Delfi-C3 has been put back in science mode. This decision was reached because of problems with the on-board transponder, which unfortunately prohibits proper operation of the transponder.
