Momentus will use a deployer to place five satellites into
Low-Earth Orbit for four different customers:
- The AMAN-1 Earth Observation satellite will be deployed for
SatRev of Poland. 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.
- The Hello Test 1 & 2 satellites will be deployed for Hello
Space of Turkey as part of their “Hello for IoT” mission. The two
pocketqubes are part of Hello Space’s broader mission to enable
worldwide IoT ecosystems and end-to-data data services for various
industries. Hello Test 1 & 2 will be Hello Space’s second and
third satellites launched to orbit.
“Our goal is to support mission success for our customers by
providing responsive and cost-effective transportation options,”
said Momentus Chief Commercial Officer Chris Kinman. “The five
payloads flying with us on the SpaceX Transporter-9 mission are
critical to our customers’ space development roadmaps, and we’re
honored that we are their space infrastructure provider of
choice.”
The Transporter-9 mission will mark Momentus’ final mission of
2023. The Company will next launch its Vigoride-7 Orbital Service
Vehicle on SpaceX’s Transporter-10 mission targeted for no earlier
than February 2024. On that flight, 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.
In addition to rideshare missions, Momentus offers Delta-V
delivery for missions requiring precise custom orbits. The Company
also provides hosted payload services and its M-1000 satellite bus
for customized and dedicated missions.
