Muon Space

🌊🌀We’re excited to share that our MuSat2 GNSS reflectometry (GNSS-R) mission measuring ocean surface wind speeds and soil moisture was highlighted by NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Earth Science Technology Office (ESTO). To rapidly launch MuSat2, we mated our state-of-the-art multi-channel software-defined radio (SDR) receiver to a pair of existing dual-frequency, dual-polarimetric antennas that were previously developed by the University of Michigan and The Ohio State University under the NASA ESTO Instrument Incubator Program (IIP). Learn more about MuSat2, our collaboration with NASA ESTO, and our shared goal of making the Earth a safer and more resilient place: https://lnkd.in/eqNWj5pV

FireSat, our groundbreaking initiative in partnership with Earth Fire Alliance that aims to transform global wildfire response and enhance climate resilience worldwide, was featured in the San Francisco Chronicle. Check out the article to get an inside look into the development of FireSat and the mission behind it, including interviews with our CEO and co-founder, Jonny Dyer, and Earth Fire Alliance’s Executive Director, Brian Collins.

We are excited to share another exciting milestone reached in the upcoming mission with our partner Hydrosat. Together, we successfully accomplished payload alignment for the upcoming Hydrosat mission. Up next, we’ll be integrating Hydrosat's multispectral and thermal infrared (IR) imaging instruments onto the spacecraft. 🌱🌍Did you know? Hydrosat is deploying a LEO constellation to provide geospatial intelligence for food security, public safety, and the environment. Our partnership represents a significant step forward in the fight against climate change, demonstrated through our shared mission to develop advanced satellite technology and data solutions to better understand and address the challenges faced by our planet.

We’re excited to share an important milestone with the FireSat Protoflight satellite, bringing us closer to realizing our shared goal with Earth Fire Alliance of transforming global wildfire response and enhancing climate resilience worldwide: 🔥🛰️The FireSat Protoflight instrument has been integrated into the Muon Halo™ spacecraft. Underscored by our unique approach to satellite and mission development that enables faster time-to-orbit and cost effectiveness, this marks critical advancement towards the launch of the FireSat Protoflight satellite in March 2025. Phase one of the FireSat Constellation consisting of three spacecraft will launch in 2026. Check out the video for a behind-the-scenes look into this exciting development. #FireSat #ClimateResilience #WildfireResponse #SpaceTech #MuonSpace

We’re excited to share updates across Muon Space over the past month in our latest newsletter! 🛰️ We continue to expand our capabilities and customer base with an award from Space Force to advance SBEM capabilities. 🛰️ The Hydrosat mission achieved another critical milestone leading up to launch next year. 🛰️ MuSat2 continues to operate beyond expectations and the Muon Science team has completed a major delivery of data to the USAF. These developments have all contributed to furthering our mission of delivering Earth Intelligence for a safe and resilient world. 🌍 Read more in the newsletter below, and be sure to subscribe for future updates.

We’re honored to share that Muon Space has been awarded a SBIR Phase II contract by SpaceWERX through Space Systems Command to advance space-based environmental monitoring (SBEM) capabilities. 🌍🛰️🔥This award will support our development of a multi-mission, multispectral Electro-Optical/Infrared (EO/IR) instrument aimed at filling critical gaps with applications for both United States Department of Defense (DoD) and commercial use. “The ability to forecast weather globally, 24/7, in austere and denied environments is crucial for our mission readiness,” said Christine Fox, former Acting Deputy Secretary of Defense and member of Muon’s Board of Directors. “The EO/IR instrument developed by Muon Space offers a path to achieving that capability faster and more affordably than previously possible.” Learn more: https://lnkd.in/enujCrqQ
