Defcon Aerospace Vilage - Hacking Satellites

One good thing came out of Covid19 and that was that Defcon was run online in 2020 which meant that Pi and I got to attend.

Since I have a particular interest in space, satellites and radio, we spent a good portion of the weekend working on the satellite hacking challenge, which we eventually completed. Below are my final commands that were sent to the satellite.
