Results	The telemetry on WildTrackCube-SIMBA is gathered every 60 seconds continuously. The LEDs on-board WildTrackCube-SIMBA have been observed from ground on several occasions and have been used for early object recognition. Spacecraft in action during detumbling, where the angular velocity was decreased from 50 deg/s to almost 0. The 25-deg FOV camera has already been used to shoot pictures of the Earth, with two examples shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11. The first in particular contains images of human-made structures, clearly visible in the lower right corner. The receiver was tested in several configurations, with the objective of finding the optimal one for reception of low power devices on ground.
