Be Excellent To Each Other

Total Price of the TubeSat Kit including a Launch to Orbit is $8,000!

A TubeSat is designed to function as a Basic Satellite Bus or as a simple stand-alone satellite. Each TubeSat kit includes the satellite’s structural components, safety hardware, solar panels, batteries, power management hardware and software, transceiver, antennas, microcomputer, and the required programming tools. With these components alone, the builder can construct a satellite that puts out enough power to be picked up on the ground by a hand-held HAM radio receiver. Simple applications include broadcasting a repeating message from orbit or programming the satellite to function as a private orbital HAM radio relay station. These are just two examples. The TubeSat also allows the builder to add his or her own experiment or function to the basic TubeSat kit. Examples of add-on experiments or functions include the following:

▼ Earth-from-space video imaging
▼ Earth magnetic field measurement
▼ Satellite orientation detection (horizon sensor, gyros, accelerometers, etc.)
▼ Orbital environment measurements (temperature, pressure, radiation, etc.)
▼ On-orbit hardware and software component testing (microprocessors, etc.)
▼ Tracking migratory animals from orbit
▼ Testing satellite stabilization methods
▼ Biological experiments
▼ On-orbit advertising
▼ Private e-mail

But what should the BeexSat do?

What's the payload?

Can we just send the A1b1n0sK1d up on it to get space bummed by Monkeynauts?

How much extra to fit a laser to zap people with?

Wait, couldn't we try and come up with some kind of thing to transmit from it that would appear alien in origin, and terrify the planet.

On Saturday, the 26th of November, 1977 at around 5.10 pm, broadcasts from this transmitter were hi-jacked by unknown agents who blocked the UHF audio signal of transmissions from the then local ITV station Southern Television and broadcast their own audio message, purporting to be from Vrillon, an alien from an instititution calling itself the Ashtar Galactic Command. The message, transmitted over an ITN News bulletin and a subsequent Merrie Melodies cartoon, lasted six minutes.
Despite extensive investigations by Hampshire Police, the Independent Broadcasting Authority and Southern Television those responsible have never been identified, and the potential culprits have ranged from students to university professors to disgruntled television technicians.

I'm pretty sure only governments have had to sign up to the non-weaponisation of space agreements, not internet forums.
