Flight preparations are underway! The photo shows one test axis of the Structural Protoqualification Random Vibration and Sine Burst test campaign to qualify our Mira spacecraft serial number 2 for flight in October 2023.
We are happy to announce that, working with StardustMe, we have been able to help them secure a launch permit! The permit, granted by the NZ Space Agency, is valid for their next three missions. We look forward to keep working with them towards their next mission in October!
The launch date for the YAM-6 satellite has been moved from October 2023 to January 2024.
The Company’s next flight is targeted for no earlier than November 2023 aboard the SpaceX Transporter-9 mission. During this mission, Momentus will use a deployer to place three satellites into Low-Earth Orbit for three different customers:The AMAN-1 Earth Observation satellite will be deployed for SatRev. The satellite can also be used for other services such as land survey, precision agriculture, weather, environmental and smart cities.The JINJUSat-1 satellite will be deployed for CONTEC Co. of the Republic of Korea. JINJUSat-1 is spearheaded by three entities: Jinju City, Korea Testing Laboratory, and Gyeongsang National University. Once in orbit, cameras mounted on the satellite will carry out a mission to take pictures of the Earth.The Picacho satellite will be deployed for Lunasonde - a U.S. sub-surface imaging company with the goal of making underground resources – like water and minerals – easier to find. The Picacho CubeSat is a technology demonstration of Lunasonde’s sensors. It will measure the power spectral density of low-frequency radio signals in the ionosphere, which will help inform designs for the company’s future satellites.

On the Vigoride-7 mission, Momentus will aim to deploy several customer satellites in Low-Earth Orbit and provide services to a hosted payload. The Company will also release a target satellite and maneuver the OSV into proximity with the target satellite for a Remote Proximity Operations demonstration. The revised mission plans will enable Momentus to launch Vigoride-7 with a fuller load of payloads for deployment in LEO with better mission economics, while still meeting the needs of customers requiring orbital delivery in 2023.

🚀New mission alert🚀Join✨Mission Manager, Nadine Smolka and✨Sr. Mission Manager, Hugh MacLellan for an exclusive look at #Transporter9, our upcoming mission with @SpaceX!🎥First stop on your way to the launchpad: Exolaunch Berlin.#LaunchWithExolaunch #AccessToSpace
Our previous three satellites were important stepping stones, laying the foundation for our IoT connectivity and earth observation roadmap and we gained critical insights that will shape our future missions.🚀 Now we are gearing up for our most audacious mission yet. The simultaneous launch of our twin satellites, Connecta T3.1 & Connecta T3.2, with a specific mission objective: Inter-Satellite Link. 🛰🛰 Our "Double Trouble" satellites will serve as an experimental platform to validate the functionality, performance, reliability, and efficiency of ISL in real-world scenarios. Stay tuned for updates!
HERON Mk. II is projected to launch in October 2023 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket....October 2023 - Spacebound! HERON Mk. II will launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base on a SpaceX rideshare mission aboard a Falcon 9 rocket.
We are happy to announce that the latest fleet of our new-generation satellites is successfully integrated into the #EXOpodNova. Excited about our customer`s missions #spaceiscloserthanyouthink
👋 We're waving goodbye to three more of our esteemed customer #satellites as they head out to the launch site for the upcoming SpaceX Transporter-9 mission.As always, the pack is diverse in its applications:📷 Keeping an eye on and delivering new insights about our planet🌌 Searching for undiscovered black holes within our galaxy🛰️ Demonstrating technologies to open a new chapter for our customersLaunch is coming! Stay in touch for more updates. And if you are looking to get your mission to space as well, explore our #smallsat buses and full mission services linked below.
Sidus Space initially planned to launch its first LizzieSat on Transporter-9 in Q4 2023. However, the company adjusted its launch manifest to take advantage of the opportunity to cover more populated areas and increase data revenue. The updated schedule targets a first launch in Q1 2024, followed by two LizzieSats on a Bandwagon mission in Q2 2024
🚀Mission in Progress! Long time customer @EnduroSat joined us in Berlin to integrate their next-gen satellite fleet with our EXOpod Nova deployer. The satellites will be deployed into orbit on the @SpaceX Transporter-9 mission via Exolaunch aboard Falcon 9. #LaunchWithExolaunch
