Members from the Blue Canyon Technologies team visited NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in southern California earlier this month for the two-day critical design review (CDR) for the INCUS mission. Blue Canyon will provide a constellation of three Venus-class buses for the first tropics-wide investigation of why, when and where tropical convective storms form, and why only some storms produce extreme weather. Following the successful CDR, Blue Canyon delivered the first Engineering Design Unit for the mission last week. The trip provided a great opportunity to collaborate with JPL, Tendeg and Colorado State University and prepare for the next steps ahead as we move to bus assembly next month. #smallsatellites #weather #spacetechnology #nasa #microsats #aerospace

Stanford University’s Space Rendezvous Laboratory recently completed the first in-orbit test of a prototype system that navigates a swarm of satellites using only visual information shared through a wireless network. In addition to our industry-trusted 6U #CubeSat technology, the team looked to our low SWaP-C nano star trackers with stunning capabilities.

Spend less time maneuvering and more time generating value on your next mission. Take the guessing game out of space maneuverability. Blue Canyon Technologies provides state-of-the-art slew performance to maximize data collection volume, mission capability and revenue generations. Our Optimal Attitude Trajectory System (OATS) flight software module autonomously calculates and executes optimal paths that provide the minimum possible slew-settle time. Visit us at Small Satellite Conference (SmallSat) booth #184 to learn about how to reduce slew and settle times by a factor of two or more. #smallsats #minisats #microsats #cubesats #spacetechnology #aerospace #spacedomain #maneuverability #automation
