The beauty of a new space project that is that you can literally see it growing. From the first word you write in your proposal, to the minutes of meeting of the Kick-Off meeting, the trills of reviewing the first data package and the beauty of everything getting closer and closer to the final shape. In the picture below, my colleagues are working with the flatsat of our first satellite, the TROLL. It's just a bunch of boards and wires spread across two large lab tables, but we can already distinct some cube-like shapes and the final setup seems now a lot more than just some documents and design files on a computer. We have some very interesting times ahead. 🚀 🚀 🚀
Our spacecraft, TROLL, reached a major milestone in early January with the arrival of its platform core subsystems. Now fully integrated into the engineering model, we've kicked off an eagerly anticipated functional test campaign. Despite encountering a few technical hurdles, we're thrilled to report that the satellite is performing well. As we speak, we're actively expanding its capabilities by incorporating new hardware and payloads, ensuring it's primed to excel in its mission. Our sights are set on a target launch date this October, and we're making steady progress towards that goal. Stay tuned for more updates!
