This past week, we validated controlled slew, pointing, and image timing on our DROID 001 satellite and successfully captured an image of Alpha Centauri. This is a significant milestone in the DROID.001 mission because successfully capturing the target star requires <0.2° of pointing error. Over the past week, we've made major strides in our overall mission efficiency, from connecting and streamlining NEI and SSA data collection to demonstrating our ability to close the CI/CD flow across several teams. This achievement reassures us that we have the backend in place for a 10x volume increase from the prior week, a testament to our project's progress. Great work, TURION SPACE team, building a functioning satellite, an operational C2 platform, and the ground infrastructure running behind the scenes on our STARFIRE cloud-based operating system. The operational ramp-up is far more exciting when each flyby opportunity is on a timer based on relative orbital dynamic physics rather than hypothetical models. Each attempt has its own curveball based on the physics, logistics, and constraints. NEI of RSOs is next, so stay tuned for more DROID.001 updates! #spacesecurity #sda #spacedomainawareness

If you are attending the SpaceWERX Sustained Space Maneuver Challenge Workshop, we'll be there. To Unleash the Potential of Earth Orbit, efficient resource utilization is critical to maximizing delta-V per $. If you want to connect for a sneak peak of the hardware and software solutions we're deploying, we'd love to chat! https://lnkd.in/gkF6r4-5
Don’t miss this opportunity to participate in our upcoming Sustained Space Maneuver (SSM) Challenge Definition Workshop (CDW). This two day, in-person event is happening June 5-6 in El Segundo, California. During the workshop, we will explore the capabilities needed to help the United States Space Force explore alternative technologies and techniques to enable satellites to move freely in the space domain. Insights from the workshop will inform the SSM Challenge solicitation, aimed at assisting with the dominance and satellite survivability for the USSF, United States Department of Defense, interagency and United States allied users worldwide.

#Tech Highlight: Turion Space is automating Non Earth Imaging (#NEI) and subsequent analysis. This includes previewing your NEI with their simulated collection tools BEFORE ordering the real thing from satellites like DROID.001 (NORAD: 56965). Why should the SDA TAP Lab care? Because Turion is integrating their tasking, collection, and processing into automated workflows alongside their #ApolloAccelerator cohort members. As we find evidence of camo, concealment, deception, and maneuver on orbit we can verify what is actually a threat with systems like this. #SDA #Imaging #Space Alexander Rogers Ryan Westerdahl
