3 Fireflies with Solar Panels Deployed 3 Spacecraft Sunpointing and Communicating 3 Hyperspectral Imagers in LEO
18 intense sleepless hours, countless adjustments, and one incredible outcome: all 3 satellites are alive and working in space. Solar panels deployed and satellites reliably sun pointing, all satellites detumbled successfully, and seamless two way communications working like a charm. From here, it only gets more exciting. Couldn’t be prouder of this team!
