    bay tốc độ 7,7km/h mà mấy cái ăngten mỏng manh thế có bị cong ko nhỉ, ko biết ở độ cao 460km có lực cản của không khí ko nhỉ

      Chào em, ở độ cao trung bình 400km thì hầu như không còn lực cản của khi quyển nên không có vấn đề gì. Tuy nhiên khi vệ tinh rơi dần xuống quãng 100km độ cao thì khí quyển đã dày hơn và sẽ bị bốc cháy do ma sát.

      Thank you, we are keeping our fingers crossed for tomorrow’s deployment of F-1 CubeSat from the ISS. Let’s hope for the best!
