If you're wondering why I'm taking an interest in this company's small satellite it's because we (AAO) built a thermal imaging payload for them. "Malya" will at some point fly onboard another Gilmour Space ElaraSat, so I'm pleased that the first one is apparently working well.

Gilmour Space now say (about the ElaraSat MMS-1 mission) that "Commissioning is underway and all systems are operating as expected."
Meanwhile the satellite division of Gilmour Space now have their first satellite in orbit. Their MMS-1 mission resulted in their first ElaraSat being launched on a Falcon 9 yesterday, carrying a hyperspectral imager built by CSIRO. Currently waiting to hear whether they are successful in making contact with the satellite.
