That's a wrap for tonight's coverage of Alpha #FLTA005 #NoiseOfSummer. After expected deployment, @NASA's CubeSat teams are now awaiting acquisition of signal....AND the Firefly team successfully completed a second stage relight and nominal plane change following deployment.
Congratulations to UW on getting a cubesat launched this eve. 🚀 🛰️

“Satellite for Optimal Control and Imaging (SOC-i), a 2U CubeSat, is a technology demonstration mission of attitude control technology used to maintain its orientation in relation to the Earth, Sun, or other body. This mission will test an algorithm to support autonomous operations with constrained attitude guidance maneuvers computed in real-time aboard the spacecraft. SOC-i will autonomously rotate its camera to capture images.”
The Firefly crew is moving fast for Alpha #FLTA005 #NoiseofSummer! Conducted as another rapid launch operation, we successfully transported the payload fairing to the pad and mated it to our rocket within just 14 hours of the scheduled liftoff on track for 9:03 pm PDT. Get more
