We successfully made first contact with Clarity-1 at 5:11 am MT, approximately 3 hours after our SpaceX deployment. Commands and telemetry are flowing; all systems nominal. πŸ—£οΈ First contact, first mission, first satellite that will operate in VLEO - whole lotta firstsπŸ₯‡

The biggest news yet. 14 hours after launch, Clarity-1 is now in Protect Mode - a version of traditional safe mode with a bunch of extras for the unique VLEO envt Internal estimates were L+4 days to this point Control algo’s to slew with our CMGs, flight software functionality,

Last night was the most incredible night of my life - watching Clarity-1 launch via SpaceX. So much emotion and pride behind such a monumental Albedo team. The mission has just begun, but our people and our moments like these are the inspiration and success I treasure.

We asked Topher Haddad to break down what Albedo does. "We started 2020 in Y Combinator." "Albedo builds satellites that fly in VLEO (Very Low Earth Orbit) and capture clear images." "It's a breakthrough in terms of the data quality and costs."

A lot has happened in two weeks. We launched Clarity-1. Made first contact. Transitioned to Protect mode. Commissioned our hardware and operational modes. Completed an on-orbit software update. Hop aboard the rocketship or you'll get left behind πŸš€ albedo.beehiiv.com/p/t-2-weeks-af…

Clarity-1's agility is going to be so crucial for informing so many decisions here on Earth. See the video of how we'd hit energy, mining, defense, security, and humanitarian applications, all in a single pass over Africa. Our team has continued to push on-orbit software

Clarity-1 has completed LEO commissioning and started her powered descent to VLEO β€” with a nice kickoff boost from one of our friendly CME's πŸ”₯ Catch up on the latest in our monthly newsletter πŸ‘‡ albedo.beehiiv.com/p/bedo-newslet…

If you're obsessing over only LEO and Mars, this weekend I want you to learn about VLEO. The head honchos at Albedo: Topher Haddad, Winston Tri and AyJay Lasater are πŸͺ¨πŸŒŸ founders. I have no personal biz association with them! I also want to personally say thank you to the

What does it take to get a satellite to space today? Topher Haddad, CEO of Albedo, just broke down something that would have sounded nearly impossible a decade ago: you can get a satellite to space for around $1 million in just a few months. This democratization of space
