Exolaunch provided its flight-proven separation systems, deployment and integration services to ensure mission success for the inaugural launch. The company supplied these services for the Celeste demonstrator mission. These efforts supported the overall mission success.
The initial mission phase consists of two CubeSats. IOD-1 was built
The CubeSats are designed to validate the system definition and early signal broadcasting. They de-risk and demonstrate technology for the core elements of succeeding Celeste satellites. Integration of the satellites into the EXOpod Nova deployers occurred successfully at the company headquarters in Berlin.
This mission was the 43rd in Exolaunch flight heritage. The launch site was Rocket Lab Launch Complex 1 in Mahia, New Zealand. It took place on March 28.
