The satellite was launched aboard the pioneering SpaceX
Bandwagon-1 mission on Sunday, April 7th from Launch Complex 39A
(LC-39A) at Kennedy Space Center, Florida at 23:16 UTC.
"We are thrilled with the successful deployment of our
Centauri-6, a testament to the strong collaboration between Tyvak
International and Fleet Space Technologies,” said Fabio Nichele,
Chief Executive Officer of Tyvak International. “This mission
showcases not only our expertise in miniaturization and advanced
satellite manufacturing, but also builds upon Terran Orbital's
pioneering heritage in building small satellites. We're excited to
see the impact this constellation will have across various
industries."
The addition of Centauri-6 to Fleet Space’s pioneering satellite
constellation will play a vital role in servicing global demand for
the company’s end-to-end mineral exploration solution, ExoSphere
and build its capacity to deliver advanced SATCOM capabilities with
microsatellite architectures. It joins the ranks of Centauri-3
(launched in March 2021), Centauri-4 (in June 2021), and Centauri-5
(in May 2022), laying the groundwork for Fleet Space’s expanding
satellite constellation. These satellites harness cutting-edge
technologies to pioneer revolutionary satellite-enabled solutions
for global clients.
Centauri-6, built upon Tyvak International's sophisticated
avionics platform, features a unique IoT payload developed by Fleet
Space, further showcasing the efficiency and scalability of modern
satellite manufacturing methods. Fleet Space's payload,
manufactured using advanced techniques such as 3D printing,
signifies a streamlined approach to prototyping, demonstrating a
path to efficient and agile mass-scale satellite manufacturing in
the future.
Fleet Space’s satellite constellation is unlocking new
capabilities across the space exploration, defense, and mineral
discovery landscapes. From enabling the Fleet Space’s Exosphere
technology to deliver 3D subsurface models for exploration
customers in days to delivering advanced SATCOM capabilities with
highly efficient connectivity, this satellite constellation is
unlocking unprecedented capabilities worldwide.
