nSight1 lifetime data

ZR1ADCLeave a comment

Thanks Mike for the CSV importer from Satnogs DB. This satellite was for sure a superstar, operational over full lifetime not leaving any space debris and it got optimal lifetime from an ISS launch (almost 3 years). Thanks to all amateurs providing data, downloading telemetry, uplodaing to SATNOGS, this plot would not be possible without you guys. Here is to nSight2!
