🛰️ Mission Update! 🛰️
On October the 14th, ION SCV Alluring Alexander officially began the commercial phase of the Into the Quiet Dark mission with the successful deployment of MOI-1A. Developed by Indian company TakeMe2Space, and manifested with the support of impulso.space, the 6U CubeSat is designed for in-orbit computing and is the first commercial satellite of the company’s OrbitLab constellation.
Now operating independently in orbit, MOI-1A will enable customers to upload large AI models and run inference directly onboard, helping make Earth observation more accessible and cost-effective. The satellite combines a multispectral imager with a 9 m ground sampling distance and a 117 TOPS AI accelerator capable of processing imagery directly in space.
All spacecraft subsystems were developed in-house by TakeMe2Space. The approximately 12 kg satellite features three-axis stabilization and an attitude determination and control system (ADCS) incorporating proprietary pyramidal reaction wheels and a star tracker for agile and precise pointing. It is also equipped with approximately 2 m-long solar panels.
We would like to thank TakeMe2Space and Impulso Space for choosing ION SCV Alluring Alexander to bring MOI-1A to orbit and wish them every success throughout their mission.
