Successful launch of four of our missions! On Friday 28 Nov, 7 CubeSats were launched into space ๐ They will provide services from better spectrum use understanding and improved ship tracking, to helping agriculture and ecosystem tech in remote areas ๐๐ข๐๐ฒ๏ธ
Cleaner airwaves and safer seas from space! ๐ฌ๐ท๐ฐ๏ธ Three Greek CubeSats โ developed by @librespace.bsky.social and Prisma Electronics โ have successfully launched. They will detect unauthorized radio use and track ships, helping protect global trade and communication. www.esa.int/Applications...
๐Thank you, ESA - European Space, ESA Connectivity and Secure Communications, Exolaunch, SpaceX and IDR Instituto Universitario de Microgravedad "Ignacio Da Riva" for the support and collaboration. The #PHASMAmission would not have come true without your support and guidance. ๐ธ: Exolaunch
