Professor Takushi Tanaka and his team at the Fukuoka Institute
of Technology built a 10 centimeter cube-shaped micro-satellite
called the FITSAT-1. It was deployed from the International
Space Station on October 5, 2012 and is currently whizzing over
our heads at an elevation of 242 miles. It’s equipped with high-
powered LEDs are blinking the following message: …. .. / – …. ..
… / .. … / -. .. .– .- -.- .- / .— .- .–. .- -. (“Hi this is
Niwaka Japan”). Element14 has more: Those interested in seeing
the code flashed across the sky the satellite will be on a
trajectory of 51.6 degrees south latitude and 51.6 degrees north
latitude (from the equator) which is almost identical to that of
the ISS (which I guess you could use as a point of reference).
Those interested in hearing the Morse code and have the
necessary technology can tune in to the satellites frequency
beacon of 437.250MHz. The fly-over schedule for dates or times
will be posted on the Fukuoka Institute of Technology’s website
sometime later this mont
