Launch of SSO-A

The SpaceFlight SSO-A mission lifted on 10:34 am local time on Monday, December 3rd. The UHF beacon was observed during the first pass over LASP, and beacon data was received and decoded on the second pass. As of Sunday, December 9th we have received a total of over 2000 packets combined from the LASP ground stations and international HAM radio operators. We are continuing our commissioning activities and expect to turn on the CSIM instrument within the next two weeks.
