Momentus Inc. (NASDAQ:MNTS) ("Momentus" or the "Company"), a U.S. commercial space company specializing in satellite technology, space transportation, and in-orbit services, today shared a series of significant achievements in the ongoing Vigoride-7 mission, marking one of the most successful early-phase operations in the company's history.

Following separation from SpaceX's Transporter-16 mission at approximately 520 km altitude, the Vigoride-7 Orbital Service Vehicle powered on autonomously, deployed its solar arrays, and executed initial configuration as designed.

Our major milestones to date include:

  • Pressurization of the main water-based propulsion tank to mission-required levels
  • Activation of the Reaction Control Subsystem (RCS) accumulators, responsible for pressure regulation of 8 redundant RCS thrusters, providing fine attitude control
  • Attitude Control System (ACS) successfully dampened out our spacecraft's rotation rates as we prepare to perform an initial orbit adjustment prior to commencing payload operations.
