Manufactured by GOMSpace, BRO-8 (Breizh Reconnaissance Orbiter-8) is a 6U satellite tv for pc designed to supply clients with information and analytics primarily based on the interception of radio frequency (RF) alerts (detection of electromagnetic waves emitted by digital gadgets from Earth’s floor). It’s to be the eighth satellite tv for pc of Unseenlabs’ constellation, designed for high-precision maritime vessel monitoring.
BRO-8 can be launched by way of Falcon 9 and deployed into sun-synchronous orbit from Cape Canaveral Area Pressure Station. Below the LSA, Exolaunch is overseeing all rideshare mission administration, environmental testing and satellite tv for pc integration and deployment.
“We’re wanting ahead to launching BRO-8, our eighth satellite tv for pc, with Exolaunch and SpaceX,” says Jonathan Galic, CTO and cofounder of Unseenlabs. “This RF nanosatellite represents an important step within the growth of our space-based radio frequency detection know-how devoted to Maritime Area Consciousness. It’s going to enable us to enhance our answer and revisit time. Because of Exolaunch and SpaceX, we can present the very best quality service potential to our clients.”
Transporter-6 marks Exolaunch’s sixth rideshare mission beneath its ongoing multi-launch settlement (MLA) with SpaceX. For every mission beneath the settlement, Exolaunch gives clients with an end-to-end launch answer from planning to deployment.
