Business Wire
Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ: MNTS) ("Momentus" or the "Company"), a
U.S. commercial space company that plans to offer transportation
and other in-space infrastructure services, today provided its
fourth Mission Update on its inaugural Vigoride mission that
launched on May 25.
Since the Company's last update on June 29, Momentus has
successfully deployed four additional customer satellites.
Momentus initially deployed two customer satellites from its
Vigoride-3 Orbital Transfer Vehicle on May 28. The most recent
deployments of four additional customer satellites occurred in
July. The Company also deployed one customer satellite on May 25
from a third-party deployer that flew on a second port of the
launch vehicle. A total of seven Momentus customer satellites have
now been deployed in low Earth orbit, and three yet-to-be-deployed
satellites remain on Vigoride.
As stated in past updates on the initial Vigoride mission, after
experiencing anomalies on the spacecraft, the Company has continued
efforts to deploy additional customer satellites. The Company
continues to monitor the Vigoride-3 vehicle's status and will
continue efforts to deploy the remaining three customer satellites
onboard.
Momentus' plans for additional launches of the Vigoride vehicle
later this year and in 2023 remain as stated in the Q1 earnings
call on May 10, 2022, with agreements signed with SpaceX for
launches on upcoming Transporter missions in 2022 and 2023,
including Transporter-6 currently targeted for November 2022.
Momentus has identified the root cause of the anomalies
experienced during the initial Vigoride demonstration mission. The
Company convened an Independent Review Team of highly experienced
space experts who reviewed the root cause findings of Momentus
engineers and concurred with their findings. Momentus has made good
progress in implementing corrective actions on the Vigoride-5
vehicle that the Company plans to fly on the SpaceX Transporter-6
mission.
“We have completed our own internal reviews and welcomed an
independent review team that conducted a comprehensive assessment
of our first mission,” said Momentus Chief Executive Officer John
Rood. “We learned a lot from our first Vigoride demonstration
mission already and intend to learn everything we can before the
mission is over. Albert Einstein famously remarked, ‘The only
source of knowledge is experience,’ and we are intently focused on
implementing the knowledge and lessons learned from the experience
of our first demonstration mission on our second Vigoride
demonstration flight this fall.”
