In addition to Noas, which was built by the OHB Italia company for Luxembourg, the Falcon will be 9 small satellites for DHRUVA Space (Leap-1) loft; The Planet (Pelican-3 and Pelican-4) based in San Francisco; and Exolaunch (Capella’s Acadia-6 and Pixxels Ffly-1, Ffly-2 and Ffly-3).
If everything is planned, Naos is used about 12 minutes after the flight, with the secondary payloads followed in the next hour.
Leap-1 (or start of expeditions for prospective payload-1) consists of two demonstrations, including an extended module for artificial intelligence (AI) and a hyperspectral image. The Pelican satellites will join Planet’s ground needs.
The Acadia and Ffly nanosats are also commercial observation platforms that have high-frequency hyper-spectral imaging with a radar technology of the synthetic aperture and the latter.
