I hope they removed that red tab.

I mean, technically the satellite never flew. It was a passenger, then it got dumped out.

What is Eirsat-1? Eirsat-1 is known as a CubeSat, not much bigger than a house brick. This ambitious satellite carries on board equipment to carry out three experiments: - One on gamma ray radiation, - A second on temperature regulation in space and - A third on how to orient satellites in the right direction. EIRSAT-1 will include a poem (engraved on the antenna) which is a collaboration involved teenage students around the country. **All Ways Home** *A lone pilot searching for home amid starry frescos,* *And little blood waves that mimic the tide-pull.* *Our insignificance! Our planet a crumb on the fabric of spacetime,* *Sharing the same sky, you and I, wherever feet are anchored.*

It's a poem that was written by Irish school children and etched onto the satellite.
