Late tonight, #BlueGhost will witness a rare eclipse from the Moon! This marks the first time in history a commercial company will be actively operating on the Moon and able to observe a total solar eclipse where Earth blocks the sun and casts a shadow on the lunar surface. Here's what we hope to see & the challenges we'll need to overcome to capture this phenomenon! #BGM1 https://t.co/CHSx2NBkSK
Especially to mark our Hera mission's moment of closest approach during its Mars flyby, at just 5000 km away at 13:51 CET (12:51 GMT) - here's one we made earlier!
#flyradar is almost in its complete flight configuration!
The Flyradar system has been reinforced with carbon bars and optimized the radar gimbal and antenna fixing.
The propeller-to-antenna distance has also been increased for better performance.
Stay tuned for updates!
We have just published an overview paper on the FlyRadar project at Acta Astronautica!

We are looking forward to seeing you tomorrow
FlyRadar has passed the first fly tests!!!
It is a radar with double mode: a SAR and penetrating radar like the one flying around Mars (MARSIS and SHARAD).
The testing has demonstrated that a light electric drone can carry on a complex radar with a large antenna.
🔺 The 2nd Joint Collocation of the FlyRadar project will be held in Online Monday 16 January! 🔺
Each partner will present the achievements of the project
