Time for another trip to space!
** Although as with every rocket launch, the date and times are tentative. **

Three satellites, named DEWA-SAT 1, ETV-A1, and HYPSO-1, which the NanoAvionics team has built for our truly international customers from Norway, the United Kingdom, and Dubai, will be launching to space aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket Transporter-3 mission on January 13th, 2022.

We will be hosting this launch event from our studio together with our colleagues and international customers from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and SEN.

You are invited to watch the live stream with us as well! Join us to share our excitement on launch day, as we break a few personal records on this flight with our customers!

Timeline:
T: -00:30:00 we will introduce you to the DEWA-SAT 1, ETV-A1, and HYPSO-1 satellites and our guests
T: -00:15:00 we will switch to the SpaceX launch broadcast to witness the launch
T: +00:08:00 after successful Falcon 9 second stage orbital insertion and first stage landing, we will continue talking about our customer satellites that are flying, their payloads, NanoAvionics satellite buses, how we build them, and all things space while we wait for confirmation of successful satellite deployment.
T: +00:50:00 we will return to the live views from SpaceX to see real-time satellite deployments provided by the Falcon 9 second stage
T: +01:30:00 after watching the satellite deployment, we will return to our studio for a few final words regarding the next steps with the satellites

The satellites:

🛰️ "DEWA-SAT 1" is a 3U IoT nanosatellite built for the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and is the first of two satellites NanoAvionics has built for their Space-D program. By observing its infrastructure from space, DEWA seeks to enhance its flexibility and agility in monitoring and managing Dubai's electrical and water networks.

🛰️ "HYPSO-1" is a 6U research nanosatellite for NTNU, packing hyperspectral and RGB imagers developed by the university researchers to observe ocean color and detect harmful algal blooms. The data gathered by HYPSO-1 will support environmental monitoring and management of marine resources and contribute to our understanding of climate change's effects on Earth’s oceans.

🛰️ "ETV-A1" is a 16U nanosatellite we built and tested for SEN, that will stream live Ultra-high-definition video from space, and will be the world's first dedicated satellite to provide such rich detail of Earth in real-time. SEN aims to democratize space using video to help inform, educate, and inspire individuals, organizations, and businesses to benefit all humanity and inform decision-making for rapidly evolving natural disasters and crises.

The Falcon 9 first stage booster used for this launch previously launched Crew Demo-2, ANASIS-II, CRS-21, Transporter-1, and five Starlink missions. Following stage separation, SpaceX will land Falcon 9’s first stage on Landing Zone 1 (LZ-1) at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.
