Nge-23 kaSeptemba 2022, umboneleli wenkonzo we-rocket waseSeattle ubhengeze izicwangciso zokusungula iziphekepheke ezine ze-Astrocast 3U kwiPolar yaseIndiya.Isithuthi sokuQaliswa kweSathelayithi phantsi kwelungiselelo lobambiswano neNew Space India Limited (NSIL). Uthumo, obekelwe inyanga ezayo, luza kusuka eSriharikotakwiziko laseIndiya leSatish Dhawan Space, ukuthutha i-Astrocast spacecraft kunye nesathelayithi yesizwe yaseIndiya ephambili kwi-sun-synchronous orbit njengabakhweli-ndawonye ( SSO).

I-NSIL yinkampani karhulumente phantsi kwe-Indian Space Ministry kunye nengalo yorhwebo ye-Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Inkampani ibandakanyekakwimisebenzi eyahlukeneyo yoshishino lwasemajukujukwini kwaye uphehlelele iisathelayithi kwiimoto zokuphehlelelwa kwe-ISRO. Lo msebenzi wamva nje umele i-Spaceflight yokuqaliswa kwe-PSLV yesibhozo kunye neyesine ukuyainkxaso ye-Intanethi ye-Astrocast ye-Intanethi yezinto (IoT)-based nanosatellite network kunye neenkwenkwezi, ngokweenkampani. Nje ukuba lo msebenzi ugqityiwe, i-Spaceflight iyasungula i-16 yezi ziphekepheke nge-Astrocast, ivumela amashishini ukuba alandele ii-asethi kwiindawo ezikude.

I-Astrocast isebenzisa inethiwekhi ye-IoT yamashishini e-nanosatellites afana nezolimo, imfuyo, ulwandle, indalo kunye nezinto eziluncedo. Inethiwekhi yayo yenza amashishiniukubeka iliso kunye nokunxibelelana ne-asethi ekude emhlabeni jikelele, kwaye inkampani igcina intsebenziswano kunye ne-Airbus, i-CEA / LETI kunye ne-ESA.

I-CEO ye-Spaceflight uCurt Blake uthe kwingxelo elungisiweyo, "I-PSLV kudala iliqabane elithembekileyo nelixabisekileyo lokusungula i-Spaceflight, kwaye siyakuvuyela ukusebenza.nge-NSIL kwakhona emva kweminyaka emininzi yezithintelo ze-COVID-19. Ukusebenzisana”, “Ngamava ethu okusebenza nababoneleli abaninzi abahlukeneyo bokusungula kwihlabathi liphela, thinabayakwazi ukuhambisa kunye nokuhlangabezana neemfuno zabathengi bethu ngqo kwimishini, nokuba iqhutywa yishedyuli, ixabiso okanye indawo ekuyiwa kuyo. Njengoko i-Astrocast yakha inethiwekhi yayo kunye neenkwenkwezi,Sinokubanika uluhlu lweemeko zokuqaliswa ukuxhasa izicwangciso zabo zexesha elide.

Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, i-Spaceflight ibhabha ngaphezulu kwe-50 yokusungulwa, ihambisa ngaphezulu kwe-450 yomthwalo wabathengi kwi-orbit. Kulo nyaka, inkampani yaqala ngeSherpa-AC kunye neSherpa-LTC
sungula izithuthi. Umsebenzi wayo olandelayo we-Orbital Test Vehicle (OTV) ulindeleke phakathi ku-2023, usungula i-Spaceflight's Sherpa-ES dual-propulsion OTV kwi-GEO Pathfinder Moon.Umsebenzi wesilingi.

I-Astrocast CFO uKjell Karlsen uthe kwisiteyitimenti, “Oku kuphehlelelwa kusizisa inyathelo elinye kufutshane nokugqiba umsebenzi wethu wokwakha nokusebenzisa eyona satellite iphambili, ezinzileyo.
Inethiwekhi ye-IoT. " "Ubudlelwane bethu bexesha elide kunye ne-Spaceflight kunye namava abo okufikelela kunye nokusetyenziswa kwezithuthi zabo ezahlukeneyo kusinika ukuguquguquka kunye nokukodwa esikufunayo.
ukuzisa iisathelayithi. Njengoko inethiwekhi yethu ikhula, ukuqinisekisa ukufikelela esikhaleni kubalulekile kuthi. Okubaluleke kakhulu, intsebenziswano yethu ne-Spaceflight ivumela ukuba sakhe inethiwekhi yethu yesathelayithi ngokufanelekileyo. "
