Dmitry Pashkov Biography

Say thanks to share Dmitry Pashkov from Mordovia to the schoolchildren to launch his own satellite into the orbit of the Earth. In the year, Dmitry became the winner in the People’s Prize “Time of Heroes” and the hero of the book “The Featers of ordinary people. Volume 3 ". The team of the “exploits” project tells the story of Dmitry Pashkov. I work as a teacher at the Center for Additional Education "Uniter", students and schoolchildren study here.

I am also a system administrator at the Saransk Polytechnic College. With them we are building reception stations and satellites. We have already launched two satellites with the guys into the orbit of the Earth and prepare the third apparatus for launch. He was an officer of military communications. Grandfather had such interesting books on radio engineering, I read them with pleasure.

At first I studied everything myself, then I went to him for help when difficulties arose - I learned so much. I remember that there were no LEDs before, and my grandfather and I made a New Year's garland from ordinary bulbs. I was then 10 years old, since then I have never thrown my hobby. There were periods when there was absolutely no time to do this, but I still tried very hard to find time.

In general, good deeds are due. There is no such thing that I did something good and walk up. I had a telescope that I myself collected. You won’t find anything in dashing, and I designed it myself. I went to the school library and took books there. At that time, there were no details, I had to think, think where you can get them. I was invited to the technical school to help, and then everything turned out like this itself.

Now I teach computer science. How did it start? Once I held a seminar in children and talked about my hobby. Then the guys came up to me and said that they wanted to create their own companion. I advised me to take part in the competition and, if they win, promised to teach, because building a satellite - not to play in Lego, everything would have to be soldered myself.

They won this competition, and I kept the word. The guys wanted to do this for a long time, they just had no one to approach, probably. Now 25 people go to classes, with them we held 15 communication sessions with the ISS and the children asked their questions to astronauts. We applied to the Innovation Promotion Fund, and my acquaintance also offered to launch the satellite together.

It turned out that we won a grant, and also jointly launched a satellite. Two devices are already flying, and one more we cook. In Vietnam, when he launched his companion, the device did not earn in space. We “listened” for a month. And if the signal does not appear for more than a month, then the satellite will not work. In general, the first hours after launch are the most important.

In the year, the same problem appeared in the Arab Emirates - the connection with the satellite disappeared. Then I sent a team from my station, and the satellite answered, and we were able to transfer it into a flight regime. After a year and a half, when the third satellite was launched there, the story repeated, and I did not refuse help. Who inspires you? He inspired me to satellite building.

Children are soon released, you will need to dial a new team. You can’t get from under the stick, they must come themselves. Now there are many space contests in which you can take part. It is important that the guys learn satellite construction. And while it turns out, nerve cells are still smiling. Gather in a large circle and wait for a companion that takes photographs of the Earth over us.

And then request this information. And either buy this photo, or accept it at your space station. Together with my team and inhabitants of the village, shutty made such a selfie in August. Such a picture can be taken every four days. But you need to be exactly under the satellite. Do you know more about this story? Please do not put links in this field.
