G'Day,

BlueSat is _NOT_ a new satellite. Its been under construction since 2000 and has 
primarily been the vehicle for final thesis for students doing their various 
engineering degrees at UNSW.

We all hope that it will fly one day but progress is slow since the build team 
changes nearly every year.

cheers

Tim
