Aerospacelab has successfully activated its recently launched satellites and is now processing data from its Very High Resolution (VHR) satellite. This VHR satellite is engineered to capture detailed imagery of the Earth's surface at submeter precision and utilizes data from the visible light spectrum.

On March 4, Aerospacelab launched four satellites aboard SpaceX's Transporter-10 mission, including three Radio Frequency Sensing (RFS) satellites and one VHR satellite. These RFS satellites, operating in formation, are dedicated to scanning radio frequencies ranging from 0.1-18GHz and pinpointing the origin of signals. The comprehensive data collected from these satellites offers critical insights for a variety of sectors, including commercial enterprises, academic institutions, and governmental agencies.

"Our team swiftly brought each satellite online within a month of launch, demonstrating our ability to quickly respond to the operational needs of our clients," stated Tina Ghataore, CEO of Aerospacelab North America.

Aerospacelab's expertise in versatile satellite platforms, achieving a Technical Readiness Level 9 (TRL-9), is further enhanced by their approach to vertical integration. By controlling the sourcing, integration, and testing of avionic sub-systems, Aerospacelab ensures an efficient and cost-effective pathway to space.
