After the target experiment is completed, it will continue to operate, testing radios and sensors.TROOP-F2 will be launched on SpaceX Transporter 8, NET June 10, 2023, into a circular sun synch orbit at 525 km altitude. Vigoride will deploy from SpaceX Transporter 8, and the TROOP-F2 will deploy from Vigoride. Transmission from the TROOP-F2 will begin 30 minutes after it is deployed from Vigoride. TROOP-F2 will remain active for 2 years. Atmospheric friction will de orbit the TROOP-F2, within 5 years after launch.TROOP-F2 is a 4.9 kg 6U cubesat with deployable solar panels, see Figure 1.

SpaceX has again revised its timeline for when the first Starship orbital launch is likely to take place.In early January, SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk said a March launch attempt from Boca Chica/Starbase appeared “highly likely,” though Musk revealed that April is the new target during a Morgan Stanley conference in San Francisco on March 7.“We’re getting close for our first orbital test of Starship,” he said. “Hopefully in the next month or so we’ll have our first attempt. I’m not saying it’ll get to orbit, but I am guaranteeing excitement. It won’t be boring.”
