Hoppy reaction images are one of the best things in /sfg/ aside from the OC and 4ASS shitposts.

The earlier take on frogsat architecture is actually not bad, you just make the second half a tiny LEM instead of a spinner.

For an enclosed sea monkey aquarium in space, how could one aerate oxygen into the aquarium without the oxygen forming big bubbles?

If smallsats get as cheap as full payloads proportionally, /sfg/ could launch a frog capsule complete with reentry shield and parachute. 4ASS would beat NASA to first astronaut return on Starship. There's already a preliminary design including a spinning hab and a desired landing zone.

So I took up on your suggestions and drew out this very VERY rough concept.

Essentially, the satellite is in two parts. The capsule; which contains the frog(s), everything needed to keep it alive, and anything to watch it. The bus; which contains the maneuvering system, main power, cable control, and anything else. The Bus has a fly wheel to control how fast the whole craft spins. The capsule has a door to allow the frog(s) to escape once the Capsule splashes down via chutes (not pictured).

To give the best chances that the Capsule splashes down in a fresh water environment, the target landing site will be the Great Lakes and thus the species of frog chosen to live in space must be a Great Lake native. As the capsule reenters, the Bus will detach itself leaving the Capsule's batteries as the only source of power to view the decent and landing. There will be a transponder on the Capsule to allow for 4ASS specialists to track it down once it splashes down in the unlikely event that the escape door will not open.

What do you all think?
