Stack of Eclipse V2.0’s
ASX Space is targeting the 30th of June at 23:11 BST for the launch of their Prometheus A9 rocket carrying two Eclipse V2.0 OTVs.
This mission aims to test out future software for the Eclipse V3.0 spacecraft, which will feature several improvements over its predecessor.
Eclipse V2.0 was released with the intent of only being used for orbit-raising maneuvers using a simplistic software design, but this is going to change as we expand our vision for our products.
Changes for Eclipse V3.0
- Delta V Calculator
- Power and Telemetry Readings
- De-Orbit Capability
- Inclination Adjustments
These features will greatly improve our customer experience in the near future, and we can't wait to report on the results of this mission. Big thanks to ASX Space for accepting this mission at such short notice.
You may also notice a new teddy bear. His name is Benedict :)
