Japanese FITSAT-1 satellites can write Morse code messages in the sky

Japanese FITSAT-1 satellites can write Morse code messages in the sky

While the whole world is too occupied and busy with their own lives, the Japanese unmanned H-2 Transfer Vehicle-3 that was launched last week, is poised to arrive at the International Space Station today, Friday – just in time for the London Olympics. Apart from the usual cargo that it brings, the vehicle is also bringing on board a set of tiny amateur radio satellites that can write Morse code messages in the sky. If you think that's way too unrealistic, Japan's Fukuoka Institute of Technology (FIT) has a name for the cubesats – FITSAT-1.
