The satellite containing the microcomputer Raspberry Pi, which will soon earn a full node blockchain Qtum, began to enter orbit, feeding the test signals indicating it is operational and sending the ground station telemetry. Later, the satellite received the response from the Ground and began to prepare the antenna, battery and solar panel to work.
