Momentus customers integrated and shipped to SpaceX launch site

Momentus has integrated its customers launching on the SpaceX Transporter-9 mission and shipped the payloads to Vandenberg Space Force Base for integration with Falcon 9 ahead of launch, which is targeted for no earlier than November 2023. 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. TThe 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…”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.”
