The vibration testing conducted at Experior Laboratories exposed
the Vigoride spacecraft to the forces and environmental factors it
may experience during launch.
"Vigoride-7 will mark the fourth flight of our Orbital Service
Vehicle,” said Chief Commercial Officer Chris Kinman. “On this
mission, we are slated to carry seven customers that require
orbital delivery services and two customers requiring hosted
payload services. We also plan to carry a Momentus-hosted payload
that we will use to conduct a rendezvous and proximity operations
demonstration – a key capability to support our reusability and
sustainability goals.”
Momentus’ next flight will launch on the SpaceX Transporter-9
mission scheduled for no earlier than November 2023. Momentus will
use a plate deployer to provide transportation services for five
payloads:
- The AMAN-1 Earth Observation satellite for SatRev of Poland.
The satellite can also be used for other services such as land
surveys, precision agriculture, weather, environmental, and smart
cities.
- The JINJUSat-1 satellite for CONTEC Co. of the Republic of
Korea. Cameras mounted on the satellite are carrying out a mission
to take pictures of the Earth.
- The Picacho satellite 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 and 2 satellites 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
and 2 are Hello Space’s second and third satellites launched into
orbit.
Momentus has executed three orbital missions to date, deployed
15 customer payloads, and provided hosted payload services. The
Company is currently booking rideshare and hosted payload customers
on the SpaceX Transporter-11 mission targeted for no earlier than
June 2024 and the SpaceX Transporter-12 mission targeted for no
earlier than October 2024. Momentus provides its transportation and
in-space services on either a deployer mounted directly to a
Rideshare modular plate or a Vigoride Orbital Service Vehicle
depending on customer mission requirements. Momentus also offers
its M-1000 satellite bus for customized and dedicated flights.
