Today's Falcon 9 launch successfully carried the remaining 11 ORBCOMM Generation 2 satellites to space. In total 18 have been launched, and 17 remain on-orbit. Each one carries 2 Sinclair Interplanetary sun sensors and 3 magnetic torque rods. This was our first big constellation build, and we learned a lot about mass manufacture in the process. Congratulations to ORBCOMM, SNC, and SpaceX on this achievement. |
