On the 15th of February, Nayif-1 was launched on a PSLV with 103 other satellites.
I have been spending the past week at the American University of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, in the mission control centre. Also, we have been visiting the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre to give a training to their education team.
Today, 17th of February, we are two days into the flight and everything looks healthy.
The LEOPS status page shows good results, and the warehouse is receiving data from all over the world!

We have received one pass with FUNcube and Nayif-1 in view at the same time.
In the doppler plot below, you can see both satellites.
