LEO Express-1 mission update: Dodging Orbital Debris During the Holidays! 🛰💨☄
On December 26th, our Mira orbit transfer vehicle executed a collision avoidance maneuver in response to a potential collision risk identified by the US Space Force. The maneuver successfully eliminated any possibility of collision! Hats off to our Mission Operations team for working during the holidays to track this risk and react accordingly. Being prepared to perform these maneuvers on short notice is a key part of responsible spacecraft operation. 🛰️
