Yesterday, SkySat-19, -20 and -21 launched onboard a Falcon-9 Starlink flight. This marks the conclusion of a long journey. SkySat-1, back in 2013, carried the very first Sinclair Interplanetary ST-16 star tracker. From SkySat-3 onwards, they also carry reaction wheels and magnetic torque rods designed by Sinclair Interplanetary. We have also watched a little startup company called Skybox Imaging become Terra Bella, become Google, become Planet. We are excited to see where they go next. |
