MAYA-V1 is part of HEX20&#8217;s Multi-Application Yearly Assimilated Vehicle mission series, built on the company&#8217;s NX spacecraft bus. The platform is designed to support multiple hosted payloads across science, security, propulsion and in-orbit system validation, with a mission life exceeding one year.<\/p>\n<p>The HEX20 mission adds to Mission Space&#8217;s expanding in-orbit roadmap, following its ZOHAR-I pathfinder mission and upcoming payloads with Starcloud and Rogue Space. Together, these missions support Mission Space&#8217;s plan to build a multi-point, high-temporal-resolution measurement layer for radiation, charged particles, neutral density and surface-charging intelligence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"widget-layout related-content-also-read-box my-3\">\n<h4 class=\"mb-0\">Also Read: How does Satellite data help in monitoring climate change?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Mary Glaz<\/strong><strong>, CEO of Mission Space:<\/strong> We are seeing growing interest in real-time, in-situ space-weather data from LEO. Mission Space is building a constellation of compact, 1 kg payloads to close that data gap by measuring the charged-particle environment directly from orbit and turning those measurements into localized warnings, forecasts, modeled outputs and validated data for specific missions. HEX20&#8217;s MAYA-V1 gives us another operational data point in orbit and brings us closer to deploying that distributed measurement network.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Amal Chandran<\/strong><strong>, CEO of HEX20:<\/strong> MAYA-V1 was designed to give advanced payloads a practical route to in-orbit validation. Mission Space&#8217;s payload fits directly into that purpose: it brings operational space-weather sensing into orbit and supports the kind of environmental intelligence future missions will require. We are pleased to host Mission Space on MAYA-V1 as part of our first cohort of mission partners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the 2026 Space Weather Workshop, Mission Space announced that it will fly the fourth in-orbit space weather payload on HEX20&#8217;s MAYA-V1 mission, a 16U-class LEO hosted-payload platform designed for in-orbit validation of new space technologies.
