Vehicle commissioning operations under way
Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS) ("Momentus" or the "Company"), a
U.S. commercial space company that offers transportation and other
in-space infrastructure services, today announced that its
Vigoride-5 Orbital Service Vehicle launched on the SpaceX
Transporter-6 mission on January 3 is in good health and that the
team is continuing to fully commission the vehicle in preparation
for on-orbit operations. The Company has requested a Special
Temporary Authority (STA) to continue operating the UHF beacon on
Vigoride-5 for an additional 14 days to continue to track the
vehicle during the commissioning phase and conduct testing to
improve quality of the reception of the GPS data in the beacon
signal. On Vigoride’s first orbital pass, Momentus confirmed that
both solar arrays were deployed, and the vehicle was generating
power and charging its batteries. The vehicle’s power and
temperatures continue to be within the nominal expected ranges.
