"We’re getting some resolution," Carmody said. "Hold on." He put the starfield on the pilot’s monitor, filtered out most of the glare, and reduced the contrast. A single point of white light remained.
Over the next hour we watched it take shape, expanding gradually into a cylinder, thick through the middle, rounded at one end, flared at the other.

December is coming to an end, and we are happy to share an example of a successful photo hunt, which was carried out thanks to our colleagues from 🛰Sputnix Group, whose 12U remote sensing satellite Zorky-2M heroically performed the role of an orbital telescope and caught the rectangle XRISM telescope!
Enjoy the gifs and screens of the simulation system. Thanks to our colleagues for their trust and help!
Note that among the pictures there is one that may well move into advertising booklets. What accuracy do the primary sources promise for determining and maintaining orientation? Up to 0.1 degrees.What do we see in the experiment? 0.06 degrees! ⭐
This year we also conducted an experiment with SPUTNIX to make the Moon snapshot from the Zorky-2M spacecraft!
Now we have reached the small and large satellites. A great end to the year, we will definitely ask Santa 🎅 for his astrophotography camera! 📸💫
We thank our colleagues once again for their trust and help, congratulations on the successful expansion of the satellite constellation and hope for new experiments!
