<\/strong>Vyoma<\/strong>, a Munich-based company that leverages ground-based and soon, space-based data to empower automated satellite operations, has selected <\/strong>Aerospacelab<\/strong>, an emerging figure in the aerospace sector<\/span>, for a contract for a microsatellite, flying Vyoma\u2019s second Space Situational Awareness (SSA) optical payload, scheduled for launch from the end of 2025. The mission advances Vyoma\u2019s 12-satellite Flamingo constellation designed for the acquisition and provision of low-latency, high-fidelity space-based SSA data. <\/p>\n As part of the contract, Aerospacelab will provide its Versatile Satellite Platform-50 (VSP-50) to host Vyoma\u2019s optical payload, and will provide the manufacturing, assembly, integration and testing service for the mission. This includes not only the integration of the payload, but satellite integration onto the launch vehicle, followed by launch and early-orbit phase and commissioning once in orbit. This mission is the successor of Vyoma\u2019s pilot (first-generation) satellite, due for launch in February 2025.<\/p>\n \u201cThe second-generation satellite technology will significantly improve our in-orbit space surveillance and tracking operations, to acquire data with unprecedented precision,\u201d said Dr. Luisa Buinhas<\/strong>, Chief Program Officer for Vyoma. \u201cOverall, our growing surveillance constellation will foster a safer and more secure space environment, empowering intelligence officers and operators to make effective operational decisions.\u201d <\/p>\n This is the second commercial contract to date for Aerospacelab\u2019s VSP-50, which relies on the proven heritage and successes of its VSP-150. The company currently operates six VSP-150, including four that were launched on <\/strong>SpaceX Transporter-10 mission<\/strong>. Aerospacelab recently announced that all four of its satellites were commissioned in record time and are fully operational. <\/p>\n \u201cCommercial industry will accelerate the deployment of critical space capability,\u201d said Benoit Deper<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Aerospacelab. \u201cWe are one of the most vertically integrated satellite manufacturers able to rapidly produce satellite buses and integrate payloads for a diverse set of missions\u2014it comes down to affordability, timeline, and reducing risk. We see more value in the investment for our customers based on satellite platform specifications.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vyoma, a Munich-based company that leverages ground-based and soon, space-based data to empower automated satellite operations, has selected Aerospacelab, an emerging figure in the aerospace sector, for a contract for a microsatellite, flying Vyoma\u2019s second Space Situational Awareness (SSA) optical payload, scheduled for launch from the end of 2025.
