HAI is introducing the opportunity to control a satellite for a small amount of time, in the most ridiculous way possible: to get a selfie. It is democratized space access in the most flamboyant way imagined.
The company, the Hoge Aerospace Institute is building a satellite constellation for technology prototyping and demonstration, the first of which will be the Hogesat-1, a "Selfie Satellite". They aim to bring space domain technology to your fingertips with our first satellite by giving you the ability to send one or more pictures or videos to outer space. They believe in the democratization of technology and that all people should have a stake in the most advanced tech humanity can create. The Hogesat-1 will aim to deliver this to you.
