The “Eagle”, a copper structure on the right radiator can be seen, which is designed to help dissipate heat from SpIRIT’s thermal management system. After more than 600 days in orbit, Australia’s Space Industry Responsive Intelligent Thermal nanosatellite, ‘SpIRIT’, has completed the first phase of its mission. Now, in its final configuration with winged thermal management system and solar panels unfurled, SpIRIT measures almost 1m across. The camera captures the underside of SpIRIT satellite, where mission participant logos are printed.
