Here we go! Announcing our next satellite: Fledgling Veery-0G "Brendan".
Integrated via @exolaunch, Brendan will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of the Transporter-15 mission.
Today’s the day! Our newest satellite, Fledgling Veery v0.5 (0G) "Brendan", is launching today on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as part of their Transporter-15 mission!
Brendan brings us one step closer to a future with prophetically-accurate weather forecasts and disaster warnings.
Falcon 9 is vertical at pad 4E in California ahead of today’s launch of the Transporter-15 rideshare mission. The 57-minute launch window opens at 10:19 a.m. PT → spacex.com/launches/trans…
Bright skies ahead! ✨ Our team successfully completed the integration of 🇺🇸 @careweather’s Veery-0G (v0.5) "Brendan" with @SpaceX Falcon 9 ahead of #Transporter15 🚀
This satellite will improve hurricane forecasts & demo new guidance, communications, and software systems!
We're making progress on satellite attitude determination and control @CareWeather with simulation results nearly reproduced on hardware.
Next, we need to stop the motors from corrupting the magnetometer readings and balance the satellite on the air bearing.
We're thrilled to announce that Veery v0.4 "Barb", our fourth test and first weather satellite, is launching today!
Barb will test:
- a more sensitive radar capable of measuring ocean surface wind speed
- end-to-end control software from @elodinsystems
- improved Iridium SBD
