The EMDrive V5 board is assembled.
The metal box can be attached to the scale body for better heat dissipation as we had heat issues during the testing in Dresden. There is also a more efficient amplifier on board which can delliver twice the power than the version V3.
Now waiting for the new silver cavity to come.

What is the weight of the unit?  

If its not too much of a hassle you might try a EMdrive made of layers of partial Graphene and silver. Both are good conductors..

  Are you sure? yes | no

cool.  And this will all fit into a cubesat?

It fits into a PocketQub, thats even smaller. Probably we will fly two different payloads (one is the EMDrive) in a 2U PocketQube, that´s a 10x5x5 cm^3 big sat.
