CEO Atle Wøllo told SpaceWatch.Global how the platform's attitude control and mass properties are being reworked to survive aerodynamic torques at altitudes between 150 and 300 km.]]> https://spacewatch.global/2022/02/turion-space-and-nanoavionics-on-reconnaissance-mission/ Thu, 03 Feb 2022 07:00:26 +0000 https://spacewatch.global/?p=38911 Turion Space has selected NanoAvionics’ small satellite bus MP42 as the basis for its ‘Droid-1’ spacecraft. Droid-1 is designed for reconnaissance missions in low Earth orbit (LEO) and is to launch in Q1 2023. The satellite will be capable of taking extremely accurate measurements of space objects using its onboard sensors.]]>
