The satellite has 30 x 10 x 10 cm, a photo camera and solar panels in addition to the Arduino electronics, the radio and the battery charger.
I don't know how much the system will weigh to maintain the internal temperature.
I guess 225 grams is just the weight of the mechanism to take it out of orbit.

Re: I don't understand.
"OP (oh, it's you) was talking about optical cables. These don't carry power, so the question of the DC or AC power supply is somewhat nonsense, which throws the language model off course.
If anything, the language model is somewhat right:"
The chatbot understood the question I asked it. The fiber optic part does not use electricity. But the system needs amplifiers and noise cancelers and these need electricity. I asked why they use DC instead of AC and it tried to answer that. But erred in its assertion. Then recognized its mistake and then insisted on the same thing again.
"But it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong this time, the point is the damn thing has no inherent understanding or consciousness, and none of its ilk ever will. ..."
I totally agree with you on this.
I don't understand.
ChatGPT: Hello! How can I help you today?
Why in under sea optical cables the power supply Is DC instead AC?
Undersea optical cables generally use DC power because it is more efficient than AC power, and it is easier to maintain a constant voltage over long distances. Additionally, AC power can cause interference with the signal in the cable, which is why DC power is preferred.
How AC power can cause interference on a light wave?
AC power can cause interference on a light wave by creating electrical noise which can interfere with the data being sent over the light wave. This noise can cause the signal to become distorted, resulting in data loss or errors.
You are wrong. The light wave cannot be affected by electromagnetic noise.
I apologize for my mistake. You are correct, light waves cannot be affected by electromagnetic noise.
Now, i ask again: why undersea optical cables are powered by DC instead AC?
Undersea optical cables are powered by DC instead of AC because DC power is more suitable for the long distances and difficult environmental conditions encountered in submarine cables. DC power also eliminates the risk of interference caused by AC power, which is more susceptible to electromagnetic noise.
Well, you don't understand nothing!
I apologize for not understanding your question. Can you please explain your question in more detail?
We previously agreed that light waves are not affected by electromagnetic noise. You admitted your mistake. But then you insist on it.
I apologize for any confusion caused. Light waves are not affected by electromagnetic noise, and DC power is preferred in undersea optical cables because it is more stable and does not create interference.

I was designed to be able to assist with a wide range of tasks, including answering questions, providing information, and helping with decision making. I do not have personal experiences or feelings, but I can provide information and perform tasks to the best of my ability. My knowledge is based on the data that was used to train me, and my training data includes a wide range of publicly available information, including books, articles, and websites. I do not have the ability to browse the internet or access new information, so my knowledge is limited to what I was trained on. Is there anything else you would like to know?

”Fabricated evidence in the first edition, cited as "national survey" which the author admitted could not be sourced, see Adam Winkler in "Gunfight". Author was also a Olin Foundation recipient, a paleo-conservative foundation. This being the third edition, I'm hopeful that these errors were corrected but I'm not sure, hence the one star."
