Most recent mission update from AmbaSat is below.
Dear AmbaSat Launch Partner,
A big thank you to everyone who has already returned their AmbaSat-1 ChipSats – your support and timely action are helping to keep us on track for mission integration.
If you haven’t yet returned your ChipSat, we kindly ask that you do so as soon as possible to ensure its inclusion in the upcoming 3U CubeSat assembly. If there are any issues or delays, please don’t hesitate to contact us directly at support@ambasat.com — we’re happy to assist.
Mission Update
We’re pleased to share that the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) engineering team recently visited AmbaSat HQ, where they carried out a detailed review of our processes, concept of operations, risk management strategy, and supporting documentation. Twice-monthly CAA meeting are ongoing and:
Following the visit, we’ve developed a focused CubeSat action plan to:
Reduce the risk of fragmentation from stored energy
Strengthen documentation of our engineering methodology and V&V campaign
Document and minimise the chance of accidental debris release
Finalise details of the ground segment and operational architecture, including responsibilities and procedures
Document acceptable re-entry and collision risks
Produce additional virtual modelling of the combined AmbaSat, Flight Tray, and CubeSat assembly
In summary, we’re making solid progress towards both integration and licensing milestones, and we’ll continue to keep you updated as the mission advances.
Thank you once again for being part of this exciting step into Low Earth Orbit.
Ad Astra,
Martin & the AmbaSat Team
